no more grey skies
I haven't felt able to write a post about how my life has been going for a couple of weeks, as I've been quite busy... Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Dermatology has kept me a little busy, with lots of homework to do. I've not been up to all that much exciting... not been feeling well and these past couple of days I have been feeling absolutely rubbish. Had to have today off... feel very guilty for doing so but I can't breathe or speak properly, so thought it was probably best to not go in.
It was C's birthday last week, and she had a very good party. Not as many people as she had hoped showed up because of various things but still had lots of fun :) We went to a roller disco place - it was really fun! There were loads of people who were scarily good! I only fell over once, when I was trying to go up two steps :/
It was the Primrose Hill Winter Festival on Sunday; I've never been that far in North London before, and it was very pretty. The hill itself has an astounding view of many sights in London, including Big Ben, St Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. I highly recommend you see the view from the top of the hill, but go all wrapped up for cold winter weather! The festival itself just seemed to be a celebration of stores that are around Primrose Hill, which sell nice things, with a background of live jazzy music. The smells were lovely, as there were so many food stalls, selling gourmet foods and also lots of cakes.
Doing my best to organise a Christmas dinner for my friends and I at the end of term - it is proving harder than I thought it would be. Hopefully some people will come and we can have a proper catch up and some good times :) I am feeling a little festive now... I used to hate it when Christmas decorations were out in October. But I suppose now it's getting all dark and a little bit snowy (I saw it snow today but it melted as soon as it reached the ground) and it marks the end of the year when I get to go and see my family. I fluctuate sometimes between hating the commercialness of Christmas and liking the novelty things as they amuse me.
Look at that! It's a revolving penguin!!!!
P's housemates are having an overblown Christmas party, which is trying too hard. I can't decide whether or not to tell them how I feel about it. It is a 'holiday sweater' themed party, where each housemate has to contribute £80.. there will be an artificial Christmas tree, and an area where guests can make drunken Christmas decorations... they're having a Feuerzangebowle and lots of alcohol and lights and decorations and food..... I have never heard of a party that has tried too hard to be cool. What happened to the days where you could just go over to someone's house without needing to dress up or bring your own mug (?!?!!) and have a good chat? Seriously, even the theme is too much. But one of the housemates is Canadian, and maybe that's how they do parties over there.
I suggested an Oriental themed party as I have a kimono and a cheongsam. Obviously I will not wear them together but I am reliably informed that the kimono "cost a lot of money" and so I cannot just use it as a light dressing gown type of clothing.
I can't believe 11 months of 2010 have gone by already. Where has this month gone? I hope you are all having a great week and that you're looking forward to the holiday season!
Let me know how you have been!

The Making Of My Corsett
Alguses kui peamine "kiht" valmis hakkas saama, pidin õnnest siniseks minema, sest see polnudki nii raske, aga kui jõudsin voodrini, pöörati kõik mu positiivsus tagurpidi ja believe me, see on suuuht õudne. Muidugi ma täiesti lõplikut pilti taas üles ei pane, sest muidu pole teil pärast huvitav moeshow pilte vaadata. Aga vähemalt näitan teile mõnes mõttes seda valmimise protsessi.

Working On A Dream With Marit!
Minu Kaunitar Marit soovis, et teeksin talle jaki. Selle tegemine polnud küll alati lust ja lillepidu, kuid lõpptulemus oli seda kindlasti väärt. Kui nüüd mõelda, miks ma just sellise jaki õmblesin, siis pean ütlema, et mind inspireeris "tellija" isiklikult, Mariti ääretult armas ja siiras iseloom ning tema õrnus!
Loodetavsti meeldib see ka teile, sest mul oli seda igatahes jube kahju käest ära anda :(
Pildid Jakist ja Pooleldi Olevast Korsetist (mille lõppfaasi on näha kooli "moeshow´l" juba detsembris):

poetry from the past
Follower by Seamus Heaney
My father worked with a horse-plough,
His shoulders globed like a full sail strung
Between the shafts and the furrow.
The horse strained at his clicking tongue.
An expert. He would set the wing
And fit the bright steel-pointed sock.
The sod rolled over without breaking.
At the headrig, with a single pluck
Of reins, the sweating team turned round
And back into the land. His eye
Narrowed and angled at the ground,
Mapping the furrow exactly.
I stumbled in his hob-nailed wake,
Fell sometimes on the polished sod;
Sometimes he rode me on his back
Dipping and rising to his plod.
I wanted to grow up and plough,
To close one eye, stiffen my arm.
All I ever did was follow
In his broad shadow round the farm.
I was a nuisance, tripping, falling,
Yapping always. But today
It is my father who keeps stumbling
Behind me, and will not go away.
His shoulders globed like a full sail strung
Between the shafts and the furrow.
The horse strained at his clicking tongue.
An expert. He would set the wing
And fit the bright steel-pointed sock.
The sod rolled over without breaking.
At the headrig, with a single pluck
Of reins, the sweating team turned round
And back into the land. His eye
Narrowed and angled at the ground,
Mapping the furrow exactly.
I stumbled in his hob-nailed wake,
Fell sometimes on the polished sod;
Sometimes he rode me on his back
Dipping and rising to his plod.
I wanted to grow up and plough,
To close one eye, stiffen my arm.
All I ever did was follow
In his broad shadow round the farm.
I was a nuisance, tripping, falling,
Yapping always. But today
It is my father who keeps stumbling
Behind me, and will not go away.

Multistability!
Multistability nime all näitavad oma loomingut 2 Eesti noort ja andekat tänavakunstnikku, kelleks on Signor Sick ja Karma. Tänaseks on nad loonud isegi oma riidebrändi, kui nii poppkultuuriliselt võib mainida. Nende loomingut võite jälgida siit :http://multistab.posterous.com/
T-särgid on müügil Reede poes (Solarise keskuses), nii et jooksuga sinna, enne kui kuum kaup otsa saab! Kui ma ei eksi, siis nende mõnusad riidest õlakotid olid lisaks Reede poele ka Morš-is müügil :)
Ise soetasin endale selle vahva pruuni T-särgi, mida küll Reedes pole, kuid kellel huvi, võib neile kindlasti meili (multistability@gmail.com )saata ja enda kappi ka midagi erilist osta!

You Can Bring The Brightness to Your Outfit And Day By Using A Colorful Scarf!
Nii mõnelgi meist seisab kapis vanu kaltse, mida ei raatsi ära visata, kuid midagi suuremat neist õmmelda ei anna. Mina tegin oma armsatest kangatükikestest salli. See tuli küll üpris suur ning väga värviline, kuid mulle meeldib! Vähemalt midagi rõõmsat selles tumedas sügises.
Riide jäänused välja ja masina alla, see pole sugugi raske! Väike vaev = palju rõõmu!
