Jet setting!

I know I have been uber slack with my blog and I sincerely apologise to any of you out there who actually read it.
I don't have any real excuses except to say that uni has been heinous but is over now, for a time....until tomorrow because I'm headed to Malaysia for 10 days, 10 days of a uni elective that I get marked on but get to be in Asia for!! Just stroll around, check out the buildings and junk! It's going to be fabulous but I may not get time to blog.
So this is me saying sorry in advance but I will have much to talk about and photos to show when I return!

Peace out Australia xx!

Enough with the floral!

This is what trying to organise yourself around an exhibition and an impending engineering exam at the same time looks like (not to mention  collecting the residual brain smoosh at the end of all this!)

It's candy time!

This got me through my essay, thankyou Rube for the nerds :)

Again with the fatty recipes..

So i got bored of trawling the internet for design inspiration {for uni I have to design a house, great to start with but i've hit a GIGANTIC wall} and started just trawling for delicious sounding recipes, the nutella was my inspiration for this act of immenent fattiness I'm going to guess. Anyway, not the point. The point is that I love pancakes and here are two variations of your regular run of the mill pancake that I'm pretty much dying to try out. If it wasn't such a hot sunny day I would probably already be in the kitchen, frypan in hand!

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes from Recipe Girl look like a heart attack just waiting to happen but holy moly don't they look too delicious to pass on!

And then there's this one time when french toast met pancakes at tastykitchen.com...it says it all really. The two best breakfast treats combined, who could want for anything more?!

So here ends my procrastination...maybe...untill I find something else to waffle on about whilst pretending to actually do uni work. Inspiring photos for my design is a start but when the thing is due on Halloween and id worth a good 80% of my mark I'm thinking maybe I should pull my finger out...maybe.

peace out breakfast homies! xx

Sunshine, lollipops...

Yesterday had to be one of the most relaxing, delicious days I've had in a super long time! It was my first day back at uni after the op and things were going swimmingly. The sun was shining pretty well all day long and on my lunch break I had the latest Frankie to read and an awesome {if I do say so myself} salad to eat. Let's just say I couldn't help but take photos and here they are.

It even rained last night! {down the coast, I don't know what it did up in Brissie...} A perfect day topped off with beers, steaks and potato salad with my mate Souperman, too good.

It's just bananas!

So I just went to Coles to buy some brain food seeing as I am in struggle town for an essay I'm writing that's due tomorrow. Sounds pretty straight forward, and it was really. I got my lovely neighbor boys some easter treats, grabbed the TP, made sure I had cash for a coffee and hot cross bun on the way home and then it hit me, or rather, they hit me....

It cost me $3,74 for TWO bananas...TWO!!

I hope others out there are as outraged at the cost of two brain fruit bananas as I am.

This weekend

Was fabulous! Friday we go our marks back for our first piece of assesment this year, full marks thankyou very much! God i'm awesome, haha! Well it made me feel like that anyway!

Saturday I got to rock out to these guys,

best night ever!!

Sunday I got to paint my nails with the elusive Katy Perry OPI nail polish,

 it's all coming up Morgan!!

Getting SO good at procrastination

I think it might just turn into an art. On the upside I have just spent the last couple of hours getting re-aquainted with the old friend etsy and have made my newest treasury with a school/ uni theme no less! Please check it out, see what you think..."back to school"

I feel I have let you down ole' blue.

for this is what happens when I don't do suitcase rummage for 2 whole months (!!) because someone crazily decided to go back to uni and then shit hit the fan with the boy and things weren't functioning so hot for a while there. Well, never fear! Ole' blue will be back in action soon enough with new bits and bobs, keep an eye out for phat (that's right, phat with a ph!) felty necklaces and new vintage style cushions to use however you please!

I will also be making an appearance at the newly instated Bleeding Heart Markets on May 6th with one lovely lady who goes by the name Trudy Florence. It's going to be a most awesome day and more info will come very soon so keep your eyes peeled!

For now though it's peace out tiny dancers!! Time for a bit of good wine and crap TV!

What have I done?!

So you may or may not know that I have taken it upon myself this year to head back to uni at the ripe old ages of 25 and start another undergrad. Crazy you say? Yes I'm aware that this is probably not the most sane thing I could have done but I will stick with it, or so I thought until my epic melt down the other day. I have an essay due today, this afternoon in fact and whilst now I'm quite calm now, getting here was not an experience I wish to have again. I somehow had forgotten what study was, and how to research properly..and even how the hell to use a library?!
Good god I'm out of practise but I went to woolies, got myself some treats and then sat them on the kitchen counter until I had finished. Essentially I could have an oreo each time I finished a paragraph (I only managed 3 in about 4 hours!!) and the magazine, well I still havn't let myself sit down and read it properly. A mere flick through the pictures is all I've had, I did cave and use the mascara though (and if anyone's wondering, it's amazing!!). A good mascara is so hard to find so when you stumble on a winner it's fantastic, a free one even better!

my study buddy..!

Gift wrapping and exciting times

It's been a while but I promise I've been working on important things and not just lazing about! Not only has uni started {which I am super excited about and have since discovered I am SUCH a closet nerd!} but there a few exciting things in the pipeline ready to explode into reality...in a week or two so watch out!

This last week had been a wee bit rough with starting uni and mister matthew being away for work but we got there and all's going to be ok. I got an amazing amount of credit from uni from my prior degree which cut three quarters of and year off my new one, Soundwave was on saturday and was simply fantastic, I found out another one of my friends is having a baby AND I got to do a special gift wrapping etsy send off for lovely Katie in the UK who was sending to her sister here in Australia.

the lovely sunny location of my new uni!

delicious gift wrapping {i hope you like it girls!}

Soundwave in floral, can you dig it? haha! gosh it was fun!

New year = new posting regime.

Hi all,

Firstly, good god I've been atrocious at keeping this up to date lately! Seriously, I'm bordering on boring here and that is not what I want to see and I'm betting you definitely aren't keen on that either!

I have no excuses either, just slack, plain as can be.

SO...

To get the ball rolling on what I'm hoping will be a productive, fun and potentially sunny {sunny too much? how about not rainy?} year ahead I'm going to go ahead and list what I'm looking forward to...In dot point style of course.

1. Going back to uni! I'm scared as hell but am so glad I've finally decided what I think my lot is in life that I'm willing to take on all those 17 year olds out there thinking they can rag on the old bird in the front row! Listen closely kids, I'm a mature age student and I'll ask all the flippin' questions I want! {I also can't get enough of delicious stationary and now have a ACTUAL excuse to buy some!!}.
2. Moving out {again} but this time with the ladies, looking forward to girlie nights in with wine and god awful chick flicks you just can't watch without ridiculous amounts of ridicule in a boy house.
3. Smashing it out at the gym, gotta get the butt into shape just in case that sun ever decides to shine on down at us again!
4. Visiting my sister in Sydney as she tackles her newest hurdle, NIDA!
5. And finally, because it is only the 4th of January after all, getting a new CD player for my car. My current one is just too temperamental.

Well then, I hope you all had wonderful christmas' and new years celebrations and that you're not all back at work yet {unlike some of us}. Hope to hear all about what you're looking forward to and fingers crossed I don't get slack again!!

turning over a new leaf.
