Procrastination.

Hello Blog, long time no see!

My life is pretty busy at the moment. I'm in my last month of college, which means I should be doing lots of work, finishing my final major project and putting together my degree show. Unfortunately I have just had 2 weeks off for Easter, and with the lovely sunny weather we have been having, along side numerous bank holidays, it has been very hard to stay focussed.

Here is a bit of my college work, it is still work in progress, and hopefully it will progress a lot in the next 3 weeks (eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek this is VERY scary!):




My horoscope amused me today by saying "It's in your nature to be creative and perhaps even a bit flighty - leaping from one great idea to the next without sticking to any one goal. This isn't nessisarily your standard way of doing things but with your bigger ideas you tend to get so excited and distracted that you find it hard to focus long enough to make any noteworthy progress".

My current procrastination technique is dreaming of furniture restoration, so much so that I have recently bought 3 pieces of furniture, which I am planning to do up so they look awesome and cool. I am by no means ditching my jewellery dreams, but once my deadline is over, I am looking forward to having a hiatus from it all, and getting stuck into this new hobby. Here are my purchases:

60's dresser and draws. £14 each from a charity shop.
I've not quite decided what i'm doing with these, but I'm fairly certain it will include powder blue paint. Maybe various shades of blue paint. I want to do something a little unusual with these, but i'm not sure what.



Telephone table, £5 from a car boot. This is going to be a project for when I start an upholstery course in September, and will be inspired by this chair:



Must stop procrasta-blogging now and get back to work, so that I can allow myself to do some procrasta-baking later on!

  1. Three things, 1) I am excited to see the results of your furniture experiments, 2) That chair is pretty, 3) Why were you not procrasta-baking when I was residing at the family home?!
