It feels so nice to have a decent shower and more than 6 hours sleep that I got on band camp. This is the third camp I’ve been on for band and it was by far the best, I actually really really enjoyed. I play clarinet in a high school band of 74 kids and I’ve improved so much it’s amazing, oh and a friend tried to teach me to play the flute, I know about 8 notes and a couple of really simple songs, not bad for a 2 days of learning I’ll admit that 3-5 hours of band a day was extremely tiring and very loud but it was so worth it, even if we did completely suck in the end of band concert. My favourite parts were the skit night (one skit in particular that made fun of the teachers) and the personal time were we could do whatever we wanted, I’d like to think I’m a bit closer with the people I shared a dorm with  One of my least favourite parts was one the first night some teacher took too much crack and thought it would be a good idea to take us out to the beach at 10 a clock at night and get us to dig huge holes in the sand to lie in, after we had all showered I might add. Oh another highlight was after the end of camp concert were they handed out awards (some serious some not). I didn’t receive anything thankfully, but our beloved Shivi did! She was awarded for her OCD... she arranged our dorm’s (which consisted of 9 teenage girls) shoes...wait for it... by colour, type and size. When she had to go up to receive her certificate, I was laughing so hard I was crying, congrats Shiv  Actually there was a lot of hilarious moments like when I fell out of bed because I was laughing so hard and when one of out dormies got milo and then lemonade in her eye, luckily we caught the last instance on video so the memory will never fade  WOW this is really long for my first blog and I’ve still got stuff to bore you with. After being completely deprived from any form of crafting for... almost 4 days (I know it’s too horrible to think about) I came home and went on a bit of a crafty rampage...that lasted close to 6 hours. My mum was pretty annoyed that I didn’t talk much to her until I had crafted myself out. It’s been a fun week!!!

Today I went to the craft supplies store, and I bought stuffing, popcicle sticks, some felt and strass diamonds. I am really happy and crafty now :D. I am currently making a little felt cushion :D. I also just made (and ate) some monkey tails, found on this site :D so I am basically just bouncing around from happiness :D :D :D :D.

I bloody love getting post. How weird is the word post? Shame we can't use owls! I'd feel bad on the owls anyway!

okay, so I participate in this thing called D.I., or Destination ImagiNation (i know...so cheesy :\) so the regionals competition is HUGE, and we were competing in it. my team (7 people) was up against 11 other teams. and only 1st place moves on and goes to state. gues whaaaaaat??? WE WON 1ST PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha AND we got a sportsmaship award cuz we cleaned up some face paint in the girls bathroom (heheh....about that :D) so we move on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont know what happened to the last post, but it didn't show up. Oh well. So basically, I'm a sort of misfit middle-schooler trying to be her own. I don't have any projects now, but I'll try to get some!

I have been going on and on about wanting to be a veterinary nurse since the idea popped into my head, on here and to everyone else I know because I was getting extremely worried about it actually happening. Well I'm getting some where now. A company that helps people get animal related apprenticeships have contacted me to tell me that I have an interview on the 8th April. I'm so nervous but so excited!

This is my first CO+K blog, to celebrate this monumental occasion (haha!) and general craftyness I've made a CO+K banner for everyone to stick on every last bit of internet they can find! Say it loud, say it proud. If anyone can make a better banner get to it! (Photobucket messed up the colour of the writing) I've put up photos of work and other random stuff on my myspace in the 'Arts & Crafts' album. It's up there because the pictures are too big for here aaaand I can't be bothered. http://www.myspace.com/queenfairypants x

Still can't get that piece of thread through the needle? Well, try licking the eye of the needle as the moisture will help to draw the thread through it.

If your digital camera isn't one of these whizz bang fancy ones you'll notice that if you zoom in close on something it looks really blurry so to avoid this stick a magnifying glass infront of the lense while taking the picture.
