Still here, still knitting!

Yes yes, I know I'm starting to make a habit of saying this in all of my few and far between posts but it really is true!

It's been a whirlwind of busyness and I feel like a parent who's just had another child, spending more time with the new one compared to the older child in terms of now running two blogs. I've been putting so much onto my blog for college that I have rather neglected this one haven't I.

Well, I thought I'd make up for it by putting a post on about knitting; just like the old times!!

Having college going on full time, my knitted projects aren't growing as insanely quick as they used to but I'm still chipping away at it whenever I can. I even take it into college with me just in case I get a spare few minutes! It's certainly a good conversation starter I can tell you.

So my current knitted creation is this owl from one of my pattern books:

So cute isn't it! I thought I'd knit this up because I had the perfect wool in my wool hamper and I've had my eye on making this owl ever since I got the book. I've not got anyone in mind to knit it for but if you want it, it's yours once I've finished it!

Other news, I've finally gotten round to buying myself a new camera after dropping my old one in a lake somewhere in New Zealand. It's a Fujifilm camera which is very different for me as my last one was a canon powershot which I got on very well with.

Though I haven't learnt my way properly around the camera yet, it's serving me well so far. I use it a lot for college actually. I take pictures of whatever we're doing so I can put them on my college blog.

My singing at church is still going well. I even got asked to perform at someone's wedding last week as part of the worship band so that was pretty cool.

Well that's me for now. Do keep following my blog if you're one of my few regulars. I may be busier now and not posting as much as I used to but I will always get round to posting my news in the end even if it does take a bit of time.

If you get fed up in the mean time, you can always have a look at my college blog www.funningr11.tumblr.com.

College begins!

I can't believe that it's been almost a month since I last put a post on this blog. That is just not on. I'll try and be more up to date in the future.
Still, I've been busy here, there and everywhere so it's not as if I've not been bothered to post, it's just that I've struggled to find the time.

It's been a nice few weeks visiting various members of family in different parts of the country and trying to make the most of the summer days when they choose to shine. The pictures in this post are just some of the photos I took of my trip down to Norfolk staying with my grandparents. Looking at these, it's hard to believe that these were taken such a short time ago. As I write this, the weather and fewer light hours really proves that summer doesn't last long and is rapidly drawing to a close.

But anyways, as my blog title says, some things do begin! It's official, I am now an art student!! Ok, so I've only attended two days of college so far but it all counts.

So far it's going really well and although I have been fairly nervous, I'm really enjoying my first week. I'm so excited at the prospect of things I might create. With amazing facilities there, chances are that I'm going to get to do make things way beyond what I could achieve at home!

Another exciting thing is that this year, they are introducing to their students blogging. The plan is to use them as an online portfolio so that people can easily access my work.

You can have a look at my blog if you want. Unfortunately, you won't be able to comment on it but if you do have any questions, then you can just ask me on this blog!
