A busy week here as always……firstly I wanted to share that I received my results back for my second degree module the one with the exam which I sat in October….I received 74% I was delighted and have passed my first two modules and my first year at University….I was cock-a-hoop!! I also have decided to change my degree path, I am now looking to specialise in Religious Studies which is the subject area I have enjoyed the most in the past year and also received the highest marks in assignments for too….I will complete the Classical Studies module I am currently studying and then change the modules I was currently planning to do.
As way of a celebration and after feeling so down the past month or so I decided to have my hair re-styled…I have had 6 inches cut off and the back as an inverted bob and a fringe which I last sported in my twenties…lol…here is the straightened version which the hairdresser did…..
and the naturally curly…very red (after just dying it) version by me….
It has certainly cheered me up and made me feel much better about myself….
It has been very cold here this week with frosty mornings and even a flutter of snow….the perfect weather for food like this….Root Vegetable Broth!
Today has been extremely cold and windy but not a cloud to be seen in the sky…so I hung out my washing on the line for a good old blow!!
Mum passed three more antique china plates along to me last week….my shelves are filling well…
and I put one of my decorated pots to good use with a lovely potted hyacinth….I will picture when it flowers too….a pretty blue I hope!
I also finished a stitching piece this week…albeit a small one this has been in my basket three quarters done for months…I love it’s pretty colours…I am going to make it into a hanging heart…I have a thing for hanging hearts my house is covered them…
I have also been crocheting too…I made this little rose and have made 9 ear warmers for friends and their daughters and my mum and I….super cosy on chilly ears!
and finally……I have almost finished the throw for little Miss…just the edging and weaving in to do….my first crocheted blanket almost completed!
The kiddiewinks and I went into the city centre last night to see the Christmas Fayre and lights…unfortunately the weather turned wet and we had to rain it off early…but we had a lovely wander around the stalls and gift shops and a pizza dinner…it was fun!
Well folks I better get off the PC and do some study….the building of the Parthenon this week!
Have a great weekend
