</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Courier New;">Well.. last week i completely changed my idea for my final major project so now i am looking at creating different peices of wall art with a diary/memories theme running through. i am intending to print some on fabric and some on paper and finish them off with some beading and embelishment. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Courier New;">This week I have been researching textile wall art and also looking at ways wall art can be displayed etc.</span></div><br />

WithLove xx<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Good Afternoon! its been a few weeks since i posted on here.. ive been suffering from a cold and was crazy busy with other things to be honest! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Well.. we did the Liverpool design Festival and i dont mean to be big headed but our stand got lots of attention and looked really good! i will post a few pics below for you to see! Ive never exhibited properly before but i really enjoyed it, all the class pulled together and it turned out to be a success :) i didnt sell any work but the experience was definately worth while.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">After the Liverpool design show i went back to Liverpool for a night out for a friends birthday.. after the ridiculously long journey there with a few much needed toilet stops we finally got there! I LOVE Liverpool for a night out.. We went to Revolution, Heebie Jeebies and Concert square and i would definatly recommend them all! I wore a new cream Pixie Lott Lipsy dress with some Topshop over the knee boots.. i werent to sure on the boots at first with them being leather i felt a bit like Julia Roberts in pretty woman but after a few drinks i was fine!! hahaha :) </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">All last week i was ill with a cold :( i literally stayed in bed most of the week with my electric blanket on full and stocked up on magazines and lemsips!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">My dissertation is driving me mad! i need to find another artist to write about but i cant find any that keep me interested longer than ten minutes! I have also started to work on my project for the </span><a href="http://www.bradfordtextilesociety.org.uk/"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #993322;">Bradford Textile Society</span></span></a><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">. I want to make interior furnishing using my previouos 'memory blog' theme but im not quite sure what products to create yet! i was thinking lampshades, beanbags or chair upholstery but i need to look into it a bit further yet.. any ideas welcome!! haha :)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This weekend i had a quiet weekend, stayed in a mostly ate takeaways which did me no favours!! im SO glad Stacey won i'm a celeb!! shes hilarious!! I worked all day Sat + Sun at</span><a href="http://www.ducatistore.co.uk/"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #cc3300;"> Ducati</span></span></a><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">. On sunday we had a big open day and Carl Fogarty came which was good :)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Yesterday i went to the Clothes show at the NEC Birmingham and it was BRILL! i drove down with my best friend Fi and although it took us nearly 3 hours to get there in the fog and snow we still had a really good day. I finally bought the knitted cape that i wanted from Topshop and also a few other items (hats, t-shirts, trousers etc) and i managed to get my mum some Christmas presants whilst i was there so all in all even though i am now completely skint at least i have new clothes to wear hahah :)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So.. as for now im gonna get back to doing some work and get myself off blogger as i am far to nosey!! :)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This week ive been concentrating on finishing my wallpaper designs for the Liverpool Design Festival this weekend. My theme is 'Blog Wallpaper' and ive gone down the Sabrina Ward-Harrison style by using my own personal items/thoughts to create them. Since being young ive kept everything and anything that means something to me or reminds me of fun times/people.. My wallpaper has been created by scanning in old diary cuttings, letters, photos, cinema tickets and various other items that create my blog feel.. This week ive 2 artists ive looked at are </span><a href="http://www.deborahbowness.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Deborah Bowness</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> and </span><a href="http://www.tracykendall.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Tracy Kendall</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">.
