Sorry I’ve been absent this last week! I’ve been busy, unwell, and trying to sort a few things out in my life. I’m looking forward to the school holidays!

Hope you’re all having a fabulous weekend ♥

Hope you’re having a lovely week! We’re expecting rain tomorrow and I can’t wait!

Dear Autumn,

Sometimes I love you, sometimes I don’t. Finally the days are starting to cool and I can start wearing my beautiful long coats again. However it is also the time when apparently I gain in years, and I really do wish I could remain a child forever.

The colours you offer us are rich and warm, great for creative endeavours and inspiration!

Have a great one, all!

xx Lola

So I made note in my previous entry, that I had removed everything from my flickr account? Just thought I would come and update you on what is actually there for your viewing pleasure! There will be more over the next week ♥

Dear Summer,

For once, I’m almost sad to see you go. I have no doubt that I will create many more wonderful memories with my friends through the other seasons, but summer seems to be the time I get to see them more. Lazy summer days lounging around on the sand at our favourite beach, and attempts at climbing onto an inflatable swan (fondly known as Ostrich) out in the ocean.

Looking forward to more fun times when you return in 9 months – until then? Bring on the months where I am much more creatively inspired!

Thank-you,
Lola

Also, recently, Liss of Daydream Lily tweeted about a pretty blog, and I have to say it is a bit of a new blog crush for me: Petticoats and High Heels. You should visit it ♥

Please Note:

You have my apologies – any posts with my photography in them (sans those of the last few days), no longer have the photographs available – I cleaned out my flickr as I was desperately dissatisfied with it. So, sorry! My flickr has new photos on it though, and I’m rebuilding what I had there so that it is (hopefully) neater and better tagged etc. Of course, new posts with my work will follow ^-^

Just a Minute in February

Reading

Still reading Through the Looking Glass. To be honest, I haven’t done a great deal of reading lately, which is disappointing. I really need to make more time for it. Especially as that is one of my 200 goals for 10 years.

Listening

I have some friends who recommended a lot of music to me, and I certainly intend on listening to as much of it as I can. To start with, I have been listening to a lot more Opeth, and Dream Theater. I’ve also been listening to Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, Frank Zappa, Alice in Chains, Björk, Breaking Benjamin, Butterfly Boucher, Fleetwood Mac, and the usuals: Nightwish, Within Temptation, Apocalyptica, Evanescence, Lisa Mitchell, and Kate Miller-Heidke.

Wanting

Aside from some sleep, at the moment I would really appreciate more time to blog, and to read the blogs of others. Also to just work on other creative projects I have. I feel that at the moment, I just have no time whatsoever to be myself and have me time. Working full time sucks – but it’s good to be getting some money! I also want to be more thorough when I update my blog – I know that if items of mine were to be posted elsewhere, I would want sufficient credit. I’ve been thinking about it, and typing “click for source” really isn’t sufficient enough – these people deserve more credit and for their name to be given a fair mention. Please remind me of this, if I do it again.

Making

Actually, I’m going to be making a few sensory items for work soon. I work at a school for children who have autism, and one of the students in my class is very much so into the sensory work. I’ll be making her a sensory board to walk on, and a sensory alphabet so we can start working on that.

Outside of this, I’m knitting myself two scarves ready for winter. They are both fluffy, and one is brown, the other is pink.

Loving

My friends, good music, jasmine tea, chai tea, pretty blogs, and the cooler weather that is steadily starting to roll in. Hopefully there aren’t too many hot days left – they are the reason I don’t like Summer. At least it’s almost Autumn now.

Promising

To update more frequently with better content, that is credited properly. Also promising to make March awesome.

Drinking

Lots of vanilla chai tea, and lots of jasmine tea. I’m also drinking a lot of water, and too much coke. I need to cut the last one out, it isn’t helping weightloss at all!

Hope you have all had a fabulous February!

I uploaded some photos I’d been hiding in a secret stash on my computer! There are 10 of them up at my Flickr and there will be more to come!

It’s steadily approaching that time of day where I need to start considering what I want to wear to church today: I want it to be pretty – whatever I choose – it’s difficult though as it’s going to be a warm Australian summer day, and I simply still haven’t managed to pull off enough weightloss to be truly comfortable wearing any summer attire. It’s superficial, yes, but truly – what is a girl to do?

I have to tell you, it was truly delightful to come home from a hard day of work, and browse through Lillyan’s photostream ♥ I suggest you all do it!

I hope you’re all having a lovely week and that this makes it better ♡
