Hello, is it me you're looking for?

Finally back again! :)

My wee lap top had a bit of a virus or worm and was out of action for a while, and then trying to write a blog from a smart phone is not easy, and here i was thinking that smart phones where here to make our lives easier? :O

Anywho, I've been trying to draw a lot more, got a few drawings that I'm happy with. I seem to draw a lot better when I don't set out to draw something, then everything has a better flow.

I love to draw in black pen, I love the contrast that you can achieve with it.

Still trying really to get better at drawing people even on Hello Kitty paper :P

I'm not sure what it is I like about this drawing. But I think there is an almost 'puppet-like' way to this one, created by the lines that I used as a way to structure the face.

I also tattooed Luke, my husband-to-be a couple of weeks ago, which was ok, a lot better than it has turned out before. But I hope to get him back under the needle because I have ordered some thicker needles, liners, so I can get a more robust line :) I knew it wouldn't be easy to get into tattooing and I do often question if I'm good enough, but I just wish I was getting some where with it. But then I should be working harder to get there, I know it's not good to make excuses but sometimes life gets in the way. I need to work harder at tattooing.

In other news......

I seem to be collecting photos of anything that has a smiley face on it! Hehehe!

Being back in Belfast last week was really refreshing, the sun was shining and it was really lovely, even if it was only for a few days. I used to hate Belfast, I couldn't wait to get outta there, it was backwards, full of narrow minded people, people that are content with being stuck there and in a lot of ways it hasn't changed. But having moved away I have grown to appreciate the homeland, it ain't that bad really.

We have found a wedding venue! Yay! We haven't confirmed it yet, but the date we have requested is free and the people at the hotel know that we want that date. It's a big thing, getting married. I never knew there was so much involved not just in planning, but also in the emotional side of things, deciding to stay with one person forever, wanting to make them happy. I love that I was looking for Luke when I found him, or that he isn't that type of man that people would expect to see me with, but I think that's what makes it more beautiful. I think it's an amazing thing to want to commit your life to another person. Especially when most marriages today seem to crumble, not that celebrity marriages are anything to go by.

I'm off to bed! Sleepy! But it's great to have the blog back! :)
Big love!
