285 days to go: Poartry




Tomorrow is National Poetry Day but as I'm not working in the prison then we had our event today.
I had invited my old friend Peter into the prison to talk about his work. Peter is a poartist - he writes poetry and illustrates the poem with a sketch/drawing. He has had several exhibitions in Liverpool and at his most recent one none other than Ricky Tomlison (Jim Royle in The Royle Family) opened the exhibition at the View Two Gallery in Liverpool and played his ukelele - it was a great night.
The event went well but I am exhausted as it has been a very busy week. Laying out my clothes the night before has helped!
I wore:
Dress - Wallis
Long selvved black t-shirt - Primark
Boots - Clark's
Pashmina - free with magazine
Jacket - Tesco

291 days to go: Ebay Babe


My swaps are starting to come in.
I have sold 20 items - dresses, jeans, jackets, skirts and tops that no longer fit.
In return I have dresses, jeans, jackets, skirts and tops that do fit.
These new Joe Brown jeans fit like a glove as does the French Connection cardigan.
I wore both with my ruffled shirt and brown sparkly shoes from Clark's.
I went into Liverpool today to meet my friend, Peter who is a Poartist.
He writes poetry and illustrates it with fantastic ink sketches.
Peter is making a guest appearance at the prison on National Poetry Day so we discussed his plans which sound very exciting.
Do you like the pose?
My husband is complaining about me being pictured in the same pose so I have been trawling my favourite blogs.
Here's me trying to copy Kasmira!
Ah well!
