My sisters birthday treat was a success! I ended up going with the cupcake idea, as I love decorating them! She did come home when I was halfway through making them, but I just made her go upstairs until I was done so she didn’t see anything. I decided to go “all out” so to speak, and even got a cupcake stand to set them out onto, along with a little note and the birthday card I...

My sister turns 16 tomorrow! Time has gone so quickly… aha that’s my nostalgic moment over. I feel bad for her as nobody will be in; my mum and I are at work and so is my mums boyfriend (they are back together again, long but happy story). I doubt she’ll be lonely as she will probably go out with her friends, one of which shares the same birthday. From what I can figure out they...

Happy Potter was amazing, and it kept my attention the whole way through… I never even noticed the uncomfortable cinema seats! It’s a little sad that it’s “the end”, I’ll miss looking forward to the next film and going to see it at the cinema, but all good things must come to an end eventually and 10 years is a long time!
My friends 18th was great as well, we...
Today has been a somewhat living nightmare… spiders have been everywhere! One being very cunningbuilt a web across my bedroom doorway in the night, so I woke up to such a lovely surprise in the morning. I ended up being trapped in my room absolutely petrified of going anywhere near the door until my sister woke up and cleared it away for me. Many a panic attack and some hysteria ensued. Then...
So the exhibition was earlier today, and what made it better was that my dad made it too =D a very unexpected but welcome surprise! Looking at all of the work I’ve done over this past year made me realise I haven’t been as lazy as I first thought, and it’s probably my usual worrying which made me believe so. It looked like so much work, yet when I was doing it I felt like I was...
Exhausted is the perfect word to describe how I feel right now, but it’s been worth it! I was up until an ungodly hour last night sorting out all of my artwork and finished pieces off, I should have done it all sooner but procrastination took over. This morning I took all of my work into college to set it all up for the exhibition tomorrow night, and I think I did a lot better than last year...
This morning was, um, interesting to say the least. I was woken up at 5:40am by a text, which was my sister asking me to unlock the front door. She had stayed at a friends house the night before, or at least that’s what she told my mum and I.
I opened the door, and just stared in shock at my sister. She looked such a mess, with what I soon found out to be vomit all down herself. All she had...

I think I’ve had a breakthough with how to solve my “zero motivation” problem and constant doubts. What I’m going to do, is get one of my graphite sticks a sheet of paper and just DRAW. I’ll go mad, scribble, dance around the room, whatever it takes for me to start drawing! I just need to start drawing again soon, the fact that I’m not is driving me crazy.
Of...

While my motivation to create artwork has plummeted to absolutely nothing these past few weeks, there are some things which are beginning to look up. “Every cloud has a silver lining”, as the saying goes. I don’t know why or what’s caused this, but recently I’ve been feeling a lot more confident in myself as a person and my body in general. Most girls, and maybe guys...
