I'm free!!

I'm finally free and finished with all shows until September!!! Yay!!!!

I wouldn't normally be this happy but I've not even had a proper weekend since April.  So it's nice to know I have a bit of free time now where I can do all the important things.  Which obviously includes playing the Sims and watching TV!

I'm also hoping to get back into my cooking this summer.  Tonight I'm making enchiladas for tea and I'm also making a focaccia loaf that we can eat with soup tomorrow.  I have to admit I'm cheating a little with the bread though.  My bread machine is doing all the hard kneading work so all I need to do once it's finished is plonk it on a tray and whack it into the oven.  I'll be making it completely by hand soon, I'm just still recovering from a cold/stress related illness that I've had for a while.  Don't really want to be sneezing and coughing all over the dough for ages while I knead it.

I'll post pictures once it's all finished and I'll give you the recipe so you can try it too!

My life is...

Kinda weird at the moment!  I've been making a box/basket all week for this show.  Stupid thing kept falling a part, clearly it hates me.  Thankfully it's all in one piece now.  I've also made some antlers for the show.

You can make anything out of wire and paper mache!  These antlers are now painted and attached to a headband.  Got some funny looks carrying them on the bus on the way home!  Hehe.

Had some pretty freaky dreams last night too.  I was in NYC for some reason, even though I've never actually been there, and then I was watching season 3 of Glee but they'd killed off Blaine.  Next thing I know there's an escaped giant racoon running loose and trying to attack people!  Then it turned into a giant red panda, which looked more like a Sylvanian Families toy than a real animal.  Then I woke up!

On a completely different, yet pretty awesome, note I was awarded the Butterfly Award by Rachael at Island Girl Insights!

Rules Of Award

1. Write a random fact about yourself

2. Pass The Award On

3. Notify The Bloggers Who Got It

Ok so a random fact about me... I love video games!!!  Especially old ones.  Or Nintendo ones.  Or Lego ones.  Or The Sims.

Er unfortunately I don't really know that many bloggers and the 2 people I want to give this award to have already received it but hey ho, they can have it twice! :)  I give this award to Rachael at Island Girl Insights and Amy at Caterpillar is Very Hungry.

Note to self.

Always always ALWAYS look where you're going.  No matter what you're trying to do.  Even if you are taking a picture, however pretty the picture, nothing is worth injuring yourself.

However saying this I will continue to be an incredibly clumsy person.

I am currently working on a production of The Merry Wives of Windsor which is taking place next week so that's why I've not updated this blog as much.  It's being performed at Lanercost Priory which is a beautiful ruined abbey about 20 mins away from Carlisle.  Now I shall explain my minor rant at the beginning.  I was taking some pictures of the stage area as it's going to be performed outside.  As I was taking one of these pictures I managed to forget there were some steps next to me and went flying down them sideways.  I think I've sprained my wrist from the fall but I did get a pretty picture in the end!

Prettyful!

Ok so I think I'm done with my meddling for now!  I'm quite satisfied with the prettyness level of the blog so now have no excuse not to do my work...  Oh well.

Oh before I go I should mention that it's thanks to Shabby Blogs that I have these snazzy new graphics!  You should go check them out whenever you next feel the look of your blog needs updating!

And now back to my essays.

Layout...

If this looks like a bit of a shambles at the moment it's cause I'm currently in the middle of trying to make this blog look pretty!  Please bare with me and my lack of HTML skills!
