25 HOURS OF NOTHING

I just finished my last meal and last drink for the next 25 hours.
No, I don't have an eating disorder, it's Yom Kippur.
The plan for now is to lay under a thick duvet and do nothing.
I borrowed some cool books at the library earlier today and we
might watch the old Star Wars movies.
Since we are liberal Jews we don't eat, drink or work but we do
everything else.

Tomorrow I'm gonna try on dresses for the Hemsby weekend.
I still struggle with the fact that 95% of all my dresses are way
too big but I'll do my best to put something together.
I can't wait to drink coconut rum and meet up with my friends!
And see some cool bands, of course...

GIMME! GIMME! GIMME!

I found Bull Terrier shaped speakers today!
If they can be used with a shitty portable CD player
I might as well buy a pair to have in my hobby-room.

SNEAK-A-PEEK

Here's a little peek of one of my latest eBay purchases.

WHAT WOULD YOU WISH FOR?

Crazy showers outside.
I'm in my cozy hobby room, gluing a bunch of hair-flowers.
I want to make sugar skulls out of paper mache today, I've
never made anything out of paper mache before but I'd sure
love a challenge!
I got the bits and a tutorial so nothing stops me from trying.



My man just asked what I want for my birthday, which is
still two months away.
Now that's a very good question!
I've noticed that it gets harder to come up with something
when you get older.
I guess there's some DVD's I wouldn't say no to, another
luctie handbag wouldn't hurt, a new last name maybe...

What would you wish for?

THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME

My lovely man woke me up this morning with a bunch of
beautiful pink roses and a kick ass breakfast consisting of
proper coffee, orange juice, scrambled eggs and a garlic &
onion bagel.



I'm in love!
I was reading about The Wizard of Oz 70th anniversary
and stumbled upon the prettiest ruby slippers I've ever
seen in my life.
I already got 3 pair of glittery ruby slippers/heels but
they are far from as pretty and sexy as these.
The brain behind these babies is of course the wonderful
Betsey Johnson.


I would do anything to have these in a US size 5.5/6...

I was lucky yesterday to get a hot glue gun for only £1!
I was looking at HobbyCraft at first and their glue guns
cost around £7 and looked a bit crappy so instead I went
to Poundland and got the same gun, just as crappy but
for less.
I forgot to pick up some craft stuff yesterday because I
didn't want to miss an auction on eBay so I'm going
back for the bits in a couple of minutes.

FRAMED

Thank you for the compliments on my new banner.
I used the faces from an 1930's/1940's paper bag.
The bag is from and hat shop in Jerusalem.
I got it from an old lady because she thought it
was neat that both me and my man are Jewish and
really into the era between 1930's - 1950's.

So instead of just having it laying around in a drawer
I cut the bag in half, framed it and hang it on the wall
in our bedroom.
This is the result.


I like that it's in both English and Hebrew.

Today I'm gonna have a nice walk in the sun,
buy a hot glue gun and some new clamps for my
new hair-flowers.
I'm also gonna clean the house so it's nice and tidy
for Shabbat and tonight we're going to a gig.

WHAT A TREAT!

Yesterday morning my man woke me up, we went for a
walk and then he told me to get dressed because he had
arranged for me to get an 1 hour massage!
After I got back from the massage I made herbal tea and
took a nap, my man woke me up for lunch, broccoli soup
with tons of garlic, fresh fruit and berries for dessert.



I also got a package from my dad and stepmother.
It was a delayed present for my name day.


I've been wanting and looking for one of those old anchor
shaped thermometers for a while and I told my dad about
them and he managed to find one!
It will be SO prefect on the wall behind our boat bar.


In the package I also found anchor-pins/badges to put on
a jacket.

Today we went to the cemetery say the Kaddish prayer for
my mans maternal grandparents, (You usually read Kaddish
for the dead between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur)
and then we went for lunch at an Indian restaurant.

I felt rater good about myself today.
I was wearing a dark red woolen pencil skirt, a beautiful
black jacket from the 1940's and black 1940's pumps, a dark
red beret, my red snake skin purse and a leopard collar
that I made myself last year.
(I will put some up on Tradera shortly.)
And a classic make up, of course.
