Back in Business ~Jewellery Making Begins~

Well hello creative world; I AM BACK.

Today I headed out in the search for Edinburgh's Hobbycraft store. Let's all just pretend it was my first time trying to get there. The main thing is, I got there and it was glorious. I found so many treasures and went to town on their pick and mix option.

Here's a quick video of my new collection of goodies.

And here, is my first creation in over 2 years since my friend and I decided to close up our jewellery shop. But I have missed it like crazy. I have so many ideas and I want to make them all! Hopefully I'll be able to vlog them all too.

If enough people like this one I'm probably going to whip together a tutorial on my YouTube channel in the next few days. It took me about 30-45mins to make (a bit of Gilmore Girls for entertainment) but a lot of that was figuring out how to attach and connect everything. 

Anyway, I am hoping that this investment will help with some of my current money issues while I'm still job hunting... and give me a chance to enjoy myself again with the free time I've now been blessed with.

Look forward to more and let me know if you have any suggestions!

EDIT: Only a few minutes later I decided to make another one...

There's no stopping me.

August 9th 2015, Sunday ~Ed Byrne Lied to Us All~

Excellent seat; 4th row from the front

Here's the interview if you're interested:

In the show he talked about how Paul Henry and him had a very awkward interview and Paul kept pushing him to talk about his 'one night stand marriage' and using the very sexist term 'putting out'. For comedic effect this was all very exaggerated, of course. 

However, when I checked out the interview it was Ed who first used the term to discuss his wife 'putting out' on the first date and Paul was the one who tried to steer them on to another topic. In fact, Ed even says 'ladies need to put out on the first night' despite constantly being a defender of women's rights throughout his standup.

I was very surprised by this example of Paul not quite being an asshole. But he's still an asshole.

Well, we can't expect much from the entertainment industry now can we?
