Another Website to Boost self esteem

Cant afford a real mercedes? Just grab a coathanger and fashion the mercedes logo yourself, no one can tell the difference.

Moving house? Who needs U- Haul or a removal truck? Why not just bust up your car and endanger yourself and everyone else on the road as well

Get to work Tiny Tim, Just because you have a broken leg that doesn't mean that you

get out of your floor sweeping duties

Some kind of water heater plugged in right in the shower- an electrocution waiting to happen

This car want's to die- the owner wont accept it. I see blankets, duct tape and garbage bags. What a mess!

Handsfree phone: This is more cute than stupid but she needs to realise she looks really silly.

DIY fire alarm - FYI Jiffy pop is Popcorn- when it starts to pop you're house is on fire!!

Cold water to bottle- Cold water from bottle to Electric Jug- Hot water from Electric Jug to sink

These guys are having a shockingly good time

The second website I visit is http://thereifixedit.com/. This site shows home repairs gone wrong, and how stupid some people can be- some of these are disasters waiting to happen, fire hazards, risk of electrocution, and just plain unsafe no matter which way you look at the situation.

Websites to boost the self esteem

Acceptance of Gay son Fail

Elephant ride slide placement fail

Transportation of people and luggage fail

Reliable logistics company fail

Sometimes when I feel like I am having a stupid day I like to remind myself that I am not really that stupid. There are two main websites that remind me that I am not as stupid as so many other people on the website blog I am about to tell you about.

The first of these websites is http://www.failblog.org/ this is a blog where people send pictures that convey other people failing at something. This is either through a behaviour, action or through a task that they may have attempted but have obviously failed miserably at it. It can also include signs with incorrect spelling, dangerous hazards, examples of racism and people expressing themselves in the most idiotic ways.

Melbourne Trip August 2008

Goodbyes at the Airport

Dinner at a fancy restaurant

Watching the all blacks at the pub... We won :)

On the Trams

At the Markets eating Famous Jam Donuts

So as I said previously I have been really lazy posting photos of my trips. So here is the next one. Melbourne Trip, August 2008, Spent the weekend with my sister Celia, my Mum, and my Aunty Chris. It was a girls only weekend and it was really nice.

Perth Trip December 2008

I've been pretty lazy in regards to posting photos of the trips I have been on ... I thought I might post them now.

I actually went on quite a few trips last year. April 2008 I went to Adelaide to see my Aunty Chris and Rob her husband- my whole family went and we did a wine trail- Pictures are on facebook so will have to copy them over eventually, August 2008 I went to Melbourne to see my sister as we were farewelling her on her departure to the UK. December 2008 was my trip to Perth to spend Xmas with my mum, and I went back to Perth Mother's Day weekend to spend Mothers Day with my mum.

Thought I would finally post these pics from my Perth Trip for December 2008 - Taken at Perth's wildlife park and Kings Park, and I am sure when I get around to it I will post the other pics too. Better late than never :P

Paintings

So a few people at work have been asking me to do paintings for their houses and apartments.

Not having anything to go off - size spefications, colour spefications or what they actually wanted painted, this is what I managed to come up with.

I haven't done many abstract paintings so thought I would give it some practice. I have done 3 or 4 paintings so far.

More Artwork

I've also been doing alot of fimo charms. Fimo is basically a modelling clay which you can mould into shapes and then cook it in the oven to make the object permanently hard. I am still sourcing supplies such as chains, gloss, stud posts, and adjustable ringbacks. Once I can get this stuff up to a professional standard I may even consider selling some of it :)

Artwork

So I suppose I should show everyone what I have been working on lately:

Most recently I have been working with Hama (Fuse) Beads.

Basically you find an image or character that you like, pixelate the image, and then recreate theimage pixel by pixel using hama beads on a pegboard, once you have finished the design, cover it with ironing paper, iron it, give it a couple of minutes to cool down, remove from pegboard and voila, you have a fused design.

I'm new to this

I don't really have any experience writing blogs.

It will be a new thing for me totally.

A crafty friend of mine has inspired me to write this blog and post my artwork just like she does. Wish me luck!!
