Hello chummies,
So today I have had a bit of a down day, I lost my job, it has been expected too be honest and I haven't been happy there for sometime now since the business changed hands. Lets just say they weren't very professional.
It just got me thinking that why is money such an important thing in our lives, it causes so much stress. Everything else in my life if lovely and beautiful at the moment but because of this one aspect I feel like curling up in my duvet.
Life is certainly too short and jobs will come and go. The important thing is that that part of my life is now over, onwards and upwards so they say and more time to PAINT!
I guess it is just a new chapter time to start a fresh.
'First be a magnificient artist and then you can do whatever, but the art must be first.'

My lovely puppy is found!
Today has been the luckiest day ever.
Some of you might be aware that our family pet, Alfie went missing on Wednesday. Well I'm pleased to announce that two lovely ladies found him this morning by the road side he had made his way down the steep slopes to lower grounds. We are so overjoyed with Alfie reappearing, he's back where he should be, at home.
Everybody is exhausted and we shall all sleep well tonight. Alfie will be taken to the vets tomorrow for a little check over and tell us if his limp is any more than just aches and pains, but nevertheless he's home safe and we all cannot believe it.

The Paris Wife by Paula Mccain
I finished reading this book about a week ago, I have to say if you love good book set in old Paris this is a lovely book to read. I found myself starting to get attached to the characters particularly the main girl. The shift in viewpoint keeps you interested, as you know information than poor Hadley Richardson straight away raising the empathy levels. I feel Mccain purposely changes viewpoint to really give you an insight to Ernests deterioration.
It is a light read but enjoyable.
It is a truly fascinating fiction novel that transports you back time however, perhaps the ending a little predictable as you begin to understand the characters.

Bucketlist
It's not one hundred percent a bucket list more things I would like to make happen this year or in time.
I was at a 21st birthday party, a couple of weeks ago and a lady complimented me on my shoes. I replied saying I was a bit worried to wear them due to my height she then said 'oh no life's to short lovely,too short'. I didn't know this lady but that little compliment made my day. It made me think how there are so many little things that could be worried over but most of them are petty or just completely out of our control, things that are way into the future, just enjoy life now. I'm not an extremely confident person but the little compliment uplifted me.I even went on the dance floor, which before the little top up of make up in the toilet, where I met the women, I was too shy to dance and stayed put.
So here is a few things I would like to aim for/do, this year or in the future.
-Pass my driving test preferably before my 18th birthday
-Enjoy travelling with my sister this year on our trip to Paris and Barcelona, and on holidays in the future.
-Hopefully get into an Art Foundation course this year and go further in my education.
-Have an amazing time at GLASTONBURY
-Enjoy the Alexander Mcqueen exhibition
-Start jogging as soon as the sun comes out in training for the Colour Run
-read read read
-complete Ugly Betty, Friends, SITC series
-paint paint paint, paint till you're exploding paint.
-be healthy

New year New beginnings right?
Happy New Year Everyone!
I have good feelings about this year, I mean it is the year that I've finally got a ticket to the one and only Glastonbury Festival and I'm turning 18, that ripe old age when you're supposedly and adult and ''mature'' which can safely be said is not me. Academically this year is going a lot better, I am trying to stay as organised with my time as I can which is sooo hard.
New Years Resolution numero 1- Be organised yes that means waking up in time for college and NOT being late. ooo yeah and perhaps this will be the big year Ellie has a tidy bedroom the whole year not just 2 days of the year it being tidy.
I'm not really off too a particularly good start because being ill for the past 3 weeks has meant I was having a bit of a slow start work wise and am now playing catch up, a mentally busy catch up.
(good start to resolution numero one there ellie)
The driving lesson are the same as usual wasting an absolute tonne of money on something which I am awful at and will probably take me a gazillion times to actually past but it will be done at some point. Who needs a car anyway you cant get a little moped with a provisional that'll get me from A to B. Although on second thoughts I'd probably look a bit of a numpty.
New Years Resolution No.2 PASS DRIVING TEST!
The Art side of things is going well, trying to complete my final pieces at the moment which are a set of 3 original photographs taken in Manchester that are going to be painted. The first one has gone well and not so sure on the other two but too be fair they are hard photos. In Textiles I'm making a little fabric book about me and my dog, Alfie and we go on a fantasy adventure I can't wait until it is complete.
Also in the Christmas holidays I visited the Liverpool Tate to see the Andy Warhol exhibition. I thoroughly enjoyed it but my mum and sister seemed quite disappointed with the lack of artwork and that it wasn't work the journey. Although they were comparing it to a Warhol exhibition they had seen previously at the Lowry Art Gallery which I had not been too, so I didn't have any expectations.
I am also very excited for the Alexander Mcqueen Exhibition which is expected to hit London and hopefully I shall be able to make it down to see the magnificient masterpieces. That can be a sneaky sort of resolution to visit London.
This year is the year I find out if I have a place on an Art Foundation course but I think I'm staying at my college. I'm so excited to be able to focus wholly on my Artwork, fingers crossed.
I've been trying to read recently as well, I find it's a perfect stress reliever.
I have read:
-The Book Of Lost Things By John Connolly
I thought this book was very gripping and wasn't anything like I've ever read before. I did find it a little creeping and triggered quite a few weird dreams. If you're into gripping fantasy novels that tells a tremendous adventure story then this is for you
-The Night Circus- Erin Morgenstern
Now the plot to this story doesn't really exist, it's an interesting read but I found it hard to keep up with and had to concerntrate to keep up with the story. Definately not the kind of book if you're like me and start reading and don't for a couple of days well with this story when I did that I struggle to remember what was happening. I still need to finish it and can't myself rushing back to it.However if you're a reader who likes to rattle your brains before bed with a bit of hard thinking then go for it, the description written in this books forces you into the most magical world.
-The Paris Wife- Paula Mclain
I am loving this book, I love stories of romance. I does have depressing moments but you feel truly empathetic towards the lady whom is telling us the story about her life. I am still part way through this book but will let you know what I think once I've finished.
-IS IT JUST ME?-MIRANDA HART
Only just started this book but you will laugh out loud. It's the kind of book that you can instantly relate to, it will cheer you up, will make you feel faith in humanity is restored (there are nice people in the world kinda make you want a personal miranda friend kinda book) and is an easy read that can be pick whenever you just want to smile. That kind of book. and yes stage of reading= uncomplete
New Years Resolution number ten thousand- READ BOOKS. FINISH BOOKS!
One resolution that I really want to keep is too be positive and not be so quick to go into panic mode and stress. I have realised that it isn't healthy to get so stressed and I think I just have to remember you can have as much time as you want to do anything, there's always the opportunity to re-sit exams. So my final resolution for this post anyway is Don't stress just relaaaaax.
