New shoes

Today I went to the infamous footwear united with every intention of buying some proper ballet pumps, not that I do ballet, just because I wanted to look cute.

Unfortunately they were £10.99 which is far too much for shoes from Footwear United, so I bought these adorable red £2.99 shoes instead:

In other news we had a Goldcrest, Britain's smallest bird, in the privet hedge right next to our house this morning. He seemed to not understand the concept of windows, he kept flying into ours. We know he's a male because he was dead aggressive, constantly flying into his reflection in a stand-offish way.
I named him Mr T because of his mohican and because he loves gold, and I went out to talk to him. I told him that he was being very silly and that he wouldn't get anywhere if he kept trying to fly into our window. And so he flew away.

But now he's back :-(

okay, i was silly and left my response on my page instead of yours. so in case you missed it--i am totally flattered that you'd like to use our images for tattoos! you are more than welcome to--they are found images so we don't really have any ownership of them, but wouldn't object regardless. if you decide to go ahead with it, let me know and i can send you copies.

so i was making my second attempt to make the skirt jumper...and it came out better than the 1st try but i am not sure i would wear it in public lol... i convinced my self i was going to use a sweater this time but i failed! anyways for the hemming part i was 100% confused so i stapled it down and sewed over it... another confession i didn't sew either! i used "sally's now sew fabric glew" and it worked but now i know that not only i cant sew i cant work well with glue too!(i know i am super lazy but i am going to try again 2 marrow!)
