glitterysah

the idea behind my website http://www.glitterysah.com is to have somewhere to sell my handmade jewellery, accessories and pretty things what I have made – and a blog to help publicise the shop and site and also to document my personal creative projects (not just shop stuff).

I’m making it all myself – this turned out to be more complicated than I originally thought – but not impossible. I have a basic understanding of coding and html already, its a matter of figuring out how to do what I envision in my head… i just need to knuckle down and get it done. So for the moment I’m using some simple CSS themes that you can get for free, and these will eventually be replaced by my own themes and templates.

So yeah, its a fairly big task but one which should be mostly enjoyable and will hopefully lead to me making a living out of my dearly loved hobby and skills. it just means that, for the moment, my time online is mostly taken up with this and related tasks – and so theres less time for 43things, myspace and the like. this won’t be forever though.

i’ll keep you posted xxx

tuesday 27th jan oh nine

(1) aquired season 3 of heroes on my laptop, can’t wait to watch the whole thing in a one-er

(2) roast chicken

(3) my weight now is less than it was this time last year, and i’ve been doing it in a sensible safe way, woop

i’ve been off work for a while, gotten used to doing feck all (although it does my head in too, its amazing how easy it is to get used to doing your own thing at your own pace), staying up all night and sleeping all day, or not even properly sleeping just having naps every now and then, not really eating much during the day cause i don’t do anything, just aaarrgggghhhh. and now its looking like next week i will be starting back at work on monday, which on one hand is awesome, and on the other scary as hell!! i need to want to get up, get to work, do work, find the passion and motivation i used to feel. because right now, i have less than none. i want to crawl under the duvet at times and not come out. i need to snap out of this mindset, i know i can. so i have some mini-goals within this goal

i want to:

• get up at a reasonable time (8.30ish) most mornings
• post on wardrobe remix, which means consciously working out outfits to wear and making time in the mornings to post
• atkins breakfasts everyday
• get into some kind of routine with the pool, get their timetable and keep it on me, have my swimming stuff with me most the time so i can go as and when i need to
• get more organised for work, keep notes so i don’t forget things
• devote time to my jewelry making/ebay thing and to being creative in general

i’m sure there are other things that i could write but this is what springs to mind. i don’t want my life to revolve around work, hence the things like wardrobe remix and swimming, i think it’ll help to have other goals to achieve that will get me in a focused frame of mind which will help with work. generally, i just feel grey and tired with no motivation to do very much, and although thats been cause i’ve been ill, i need to change this. i need to want to get up and want to do things, and i think having a few interesting exciting goals in amongst the work-type stuff will really help.

we shall see…
