Inspiration

So i've been meaning to write a blog for some time - i constantly have ideas in my head that i want to jot down but have been to slack to commit to write them or even remember them. I want to blame this on being sick. I haven't been this ill for a while now and i get quite cranky when i am slowed down by a virus and pains and pangs, i have put so much off lately, yet constantly write down to-do lists in my diary. I'm still focused, i still want to work hard for what i want though - so don't get me wrong on this account. Although it has been a few days since the last time i went to the gym, my body is deffinatly on down time due to this headcold/stomach bug. It is now my mission to stay oncourse with my lactose and sugar free diet. It's killing me to feel this sick again not only for cold reasons but for back reasons and stomach reaons. In all honesty i have let myself slip so much since finishing uni. Just started going out more, spending more money on things that are bad for me. I have the inspiration, i have the strength and the will to fix things in my life. I am going to start focusing on these things and focus on getting myself to the stage i was at only a month or so ago. Going to the gym with louise is really helping this out. Of course everyone gets frustrated when results don't happen instantly - such as me still feeling ill. Sigh. What a winge of a paragraph - these winges need to be expressed to fully comprehend hidden potential - right? Haha.

I have some wonderful people around me though to encourage me and also to boost my ego which holds me back; it balances out eventually.

In other news:

My attempts at sewing have been getting more frequent. I've been getting really inspired latelty to try new things and to try making my own clothes in general. A good excuse recently is my boyfriends cousin's cocktail party and instead of me spending horrible hours at the shops searching for a dress that is 1. nice 2. a nice colour 3. fits 4. looks good and 5. is comfortable is much worse then the idea to make my own cocktail dress...one that matches my hair too! So off i set to Spotlight with Louise and found myself some nice blue satin material and not only that but assortments of ribbon and frilly material to make a strapless cocktail dress. With all this enthusiasim i set out and created the dress with no help over two nights i measured, cut and sewed together the basic dress. Luckily Rachel was in my reach on Monday whilst driving home from the Gold Coast and i lured her inside my house to help me out. ( i had no clue how to put in an invisible zip!) It went from invisible zip to darts, shaping the dress, making it fit my body properly and then the zip as well as some extra flare - adding frills on the top of the dress. Overall Rachel seemed pretty content working out this andthat and i am forever grateful with her talent and patience and expertese. My dress looks so freaking Fabulous! Im in love with it! I would post a photo of it up here but i don't have one as yet. I will however post a photo of the night with me in it!

Im also making a bow that matches the dress, it has a giant bow on it with sparkles and frills, Blue, black and possibly some white mesh soon to be added. So decadent! It will be gorgeous. Not to mention having to re-dye my hair. The blue has faded from my blonde a bit and needs a bit of a revamp. Not to mention my desperation for a hair cut!

Thanks has to go to Rachel for the help on this one. I don't think i would be as happy without her inspiration and assistance.

Overall,

Im going to get back into eating the right foods for my stomach or i will destroy my insides.
I hope you get inspiration and achieve your weeks goals -no matter how big or small.

Much love
