A couple of months ago I did "the life-changing magic of tidying". It was great to declutter and I'm mostly glad I did it. I'm due another clearout now since even though I got rid of about 6 binbags of clothes and 5 shopping bags of books, I still don't appear to have any space. Anyway, the author promised me I wouldn't regret it, but I do regret one (big) thing. I got rid of pretty much all my art stuff. I thought I didn't need it anymore as I wasn't using it at the time. The only thing out of everything I got rid of that I don't regret was my sets of copics. I gave them to one of Mickey's mates who's into grafitti, and he uses them for planning his works. I'm glad they've gone to a good home. I regret the rest of it though. What an eejit I was to think I wouldn't need that stuff again! Well, now I have to rebuy it all. Today I'm going out to find a cheap sketchbook and some pens, which won't be cheap because there's no point in skimping on those. Gaaaahhh. Well, I suppose now that I'm superbroke I will be more careful in what I purchase, and make sure it's stuff I'll actully use. First thing on the agenda artwise is a collab with that grafitti guy I mentioned. He did the text and wants me to do the background on a piece. On paper I should mention! He stipulated that it should be "mad violent". I don't draw mad violent things, so he's going to have be content with a stupid/cute background with perhaps a hint of comedy violence. He draws enough gory stuff anyway; this will be a bit of a novelty for him.
I've also been shopping for party stuff this week. We're having a "welcome to the world" party for Séamus on Sunday. I know it's a bit late now that he's over 7 months, but better late than never. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do apart from not having a christening, but I did consider having a naming ceremony. In the end I've decided on just an informal party with food and drinks for our friends, and someone djing a few tunes. Maybe someone will make a short speech about godparents at some point. It will be fun!
The baby is asleep now so I better go and do some housework. Bye!
