Highland Hospice

My friend has just told me she and her boy friend will be running theBaxter's 10k on behalf of the Highland Hospice. I wanted to spread the word about this but also reveal some thing i am very proud of. My mother was the original founder of the Highland Hospice and it was 21 last year. I am so proud of her for achievements with this charity. A charity that i know has helped many families get through very hard times and has let the terminally ill pass with dignity. Here is a link to the Highland Hospice.

I just wanted to vocalise the pride i have in my mother and tell the world about this amazingly supportive charity.

new half years resolution.

I can't remember if i made any new years resolutions in january but if i did i REALY didn't try to keep to them at all. SO... i am making one that will begin on the 1st of june. I am going to practice guitar properly again! I have been listening to a lot of new music recently and it has inspired me to get practicing again. Once when i was younger i was kinda good and i want to be good again.


This is my guitar. She isn't my favourite guitar i own. My favourite guitar is at home being kept safe from student life but once i move into my new flat i'm going to bring her down to Glasgow and play her again. I'm actually really excited about this. Lets just hope i can remember what to do!

artist i'm loving right now.

I have been a fan of Joetta Maue's blog, Little Yellow Bird for a while now but silly old be only discovered her website last week.

I discovered her when i started using embroidery hoops in my own work. Which is kinda odd but i live it when you find artist's using similar media.

yum!

i just found this picture on this blog and it has made me crave those oily hand made donuts our baker at home sells. I don't realy like sweet things but they are GOOD!

assessment

So my third year at the Glasgow school of Art has come to and end. Now all i ave to do is get my final year gread back! Actually quite excited about this as i feel my work has taken a great leap in the right direction. Here are a few bits and bobs from my assessment.





I have to admit i'm very glad this year is over. It felt like a bit of a struggle at the end but i am so excited abut my final year at art school beginning. Lets just hope the summer is nice and doesn't drag on too much!
