new travel wallet

Back in April I decided to treat myself to a new travel wallet. There was nothing wrong with my old one, save a few odd looking stains, but I thought it might be time for a change. So here is my new one from DQ Company:

I keep meaning to post here more but it just ain’t happenin’. Once I get back on the road I’ll be unstoppable so enjoy the quiet while you can.

Here’s a photo I took on my iPhone as I was leaving work yesterday. I used my bus ride home to play around with it in PictureShow.

I’m gonna miss Wellington.

The Baseballs shopping spree

It was about time that I did some more online shopping. Being employed for the last three days and spending British money helps with that. So I splurged on some Baseballs gear:

4 “Lola” striped breakfast boards

4 “Cindy” breakfast boards

A Baseballs tote bag – I have a weird love of tote bags and use them in place of handbags.

And finally, a tour t-shirt from 2010 because I didn’t get one when I saw them in Bonn and I kind of like wearing shirts that say “that’s right, I saw this band in this place at this time”.

I won’t get to see my buys until August but I’m super excited about the breakfast boards. They are for the house I don’t yet have. One of my favourite hobbies is buying stuff for the house I don’t yet have. I have four brand new duvet cover sets, cushions, mugs aplenty, pots and pans, knives, a set of Chinese takeout box bowls… I’m making a nice wee collection for myself so that when I finally do settle down (haha) I won’t have to buy anything, I’ll just move straight in with the stuff I’ve collected over the years.

happy stamping

Over the last couple of days I’ve been going a little nutty on the old Photoshop brushes on deviantART. But it’s hard going trying to find the exact right brush. Now I’ve taken to making my own up from funky images – sadly not drawn by me.
