Pro-Babysitter

Never underestimate hiding under a piano

12th June 2013 

Last night, I had my first session of babysitting after all my time away from university. It was crazy-mad, but so much fun!
I think I have a pretty different babysitting experience than most people. Normally you watch that persons tv, eat their food, and send the children to bed. Last night I was babysitting 7pm-11pm, and I was up playing with them all night!
The illustration is displaying one of my awesome babysitting skills - squishing myself into hiding places that I really don't fit into, but still end up working!

Determined to Picnic

9th June 2013

Woo! Finally, the last catch up illustration...if I do today's one on time!

I finally met up with my Twin again after both of us being away at University. We planned a picnic in the park for some sun, catchup and laughs...however, the weather was not as kind today as it was yesterday; but we were determined to picnic! and we went despite the grey skies and slight drizzle, and we brought multiple layers of clothing, scarves and gloves and yet we still bought our sunnies along! So we sat with all our jumpers on, wrapped in coats and ate our food, with our sunglasses on!

We're off to London, to buy a heat magazine!

June 8th 2013

The idea was, was to get yesterday's and today's daily outfit drawings done, both of them tonight, and then I would be finally up to date, and posting properly again... alas, that did not work out. 

I got way into this illustration this evening, and consequently spent quite a while on it...

I didn't get to spend my Mum's birthday with my family due to still being a university, so since I am now home, we went to London together! The plan was to go to Hampton Court, but really it was only the gardens that interested me, so after spending 3 hours in the gardens with the water fountains and eerily-alice-in-wonderland-esque gardens, me and my two younger brothers caught a train back in to Waterloo, and we "wandered" round London. We didn't stop. It was a full stretch across London using the tubes to visit the Disney Store [I couldn't go to London and not visit!?], Hamley's for, of course, their awesome Harry Potter memorabilia area, and then over to Kings Cross for their newly renovated and opened Harry Potter shop, and then back down to Waterloo in time to meet our parents who had spent the afternoon walking around the house. It was a great day, and I am now exhuasted!

Here are just a few sneaky photo's from Hampton Court!

Hannah is the WINNER!

7th June 2013

I'm catching upppp! - I have missed out a few days because I literally did nothing but get a lot of catch-up-sleep and evening walks. 

I see why my parents wanted me back from university! - they wanted me to do the cleaning. I got an "early" wakeup call to clean out the garage. Woop woop. SORTED.

Goodbye Lincoln...

...Until we meet again in September!

June 3rd 2013

After only managing to get into bed at 4am after packing through the night, I was exhausted and travelling wasn't great, with long delays.

Mission: Packing Freshers Away

2nd June 2013

I am also on a mission to catch up with all the missed drawings!

And then my time was up. I actually finished my course about a month ago(?) because I only had a group presentation and final assessment, unlike everyone stuck revising and sitting exams!

However, the day before moving out of Courts had finally come, and although I have "started packing" my room away at the beginning of the week... I really hadn't. I did not realise just how much stuff I had crammed into cupboard and boxes and were hiding away until I decided to properly pack. It was just a little bit overwhelming!

The last day as a Fresher was lovely though. Me and my first year church and CU. friends all went out to Ribs 'n' Bibs for lunch, and afterwards we bought frappucino's and sat along the Brayford in the sun. After that I met up with Becca, and we took a picnic up Steep Hill so that we could sit on the grass on just chill out. It was a great end to a great year.

This illustration is a very accurate representation of my evening in Courts; and yes, I did actually have to sit on my suitcase to squash it down - I am never taking that many clothes with me to university again! 

ALL the Birthday Drinks!

1st June 2013

The thing about being at university, is that you have a mahoosive summer break and so, within the space of June-September, you are missing a lot of birthday's. Therefore lot's of people have pre-birthday drinks, and for me, they all seemed to be in the one week, so I was going to birthday drinks left right an centre!
Tonight was Vicky's 21st drinks up at the Magna Carter which was really nice to go up Steep Hill and just be with everyone.

Snow White used Yum-Yum's to coax out the Wildlife

I am so behind on these 'outfit of the day' drawings! I really just haven't had time because I had been trying to see all my friends in the last few days before we left university for the summer, and then there was a whole day of packing, another for travelling, and another for just settling back home!
Sooooo, this is actually my outfit of the day for 30th May 2013.

Me, Amber and Vicky finally got ourselves to Hartsholme Park! - the weather was all over the board in the last few weeks in Lincoln, raining one day and the next beautiful sunshine. The day didn't start out great, but we decided to go out despite the lack of sunshine...only to get to the park and have it rain on us most of the time we were there... it was still a lot of fun though! - The weather doesn't decide if you have a good time, it's what you make it!

I thought the perfect drawing to sum up the day would not be to have me sopping wet and covered in mud, but in fact demonstrate how silly it is to buy a tub on yum-yum's and take them to a nature park...
We literally had all the wildlife following us around the park, until we decided it would probably be best just to dispose of the troublesome-food. - que stuffing four yum-yum's in our mouths, one after the other - sugar overload!
We were just casually eating a small picnic which consisted mainly of cakes. no judging. when all the ducks and geese came out of the lake and started chasing us. Vicky and Amber ran off to save themselves and I was stuck with the food, so naturally I jumped on the bench?






One of the funniest animal encounters was a squirrel that came up to our feet and stared at us until we threw it a yum-yum, which is then proceeded to eat in a tree above us!

Live Long and Prosper

"To boldly go where no man has gone before."

Not technically my outfit of the day... However I have been having a marathon of the two Star Trek films, and just generally having a Star Trek day with the soundtrack and drawing!

I was trying to work out which position I would be: Yellow - Command; Blue - Science and Medical or Red - Engineering and Security.

I don't really think I'm any to be perfectly honest, and so it's a quite a stretch that I'm even a Red. I researched it and it seemed to be the one that had the most variation in jobs, and I guess I could do some security stuff!? I mean, I definitely couldn't be in any position of command, and I just can't do science! 

The Giant Bush Cat of Liquorice Park

Outfit of the Day - 28th May 2013

bit reluctant to upload today's outfit of the day illustration... it really isn't my best work. It's late, and I am SO tired that my eyes have gone blurry, and I am in much need of some good ol' sleep!

However, Today, me and Charlotte went for a little explore around Lincoln. We were determined to get outside, and it wasn't raining even though the sky was very grey! We found this small park which was pretty overgrown, as though it isn't often used or maintained, but we found this giant bush pruned into a cat!? It was rather bizarre, and definitely deserved a photo opportunity.

Mission to Morrison's on the Bank Holiday Monday

Outfit of the Day 27th May 2013

I think we have already established here, I have a limited wardrobe, and always wear leggings. Okay cool. 

Also, I'm the cool kid you see walking to Morrison's with her suitcase and backpack, because she's actually worked out how to balance some of the ridiculous weight of all the food shopping.

This was me this morning as I went for my last Morrison's food shop of first year, and bought the smallest shop so far, as I only have a few days left now. I also went and begged and grovelled for some cardboard boxes that I could use for packing, as I feel like I might  most definitely have acquired more things than I originally took to university with me?

Yes I have gone to the lengths of the details on the cardboard boxes. Not advertising, just having fun with specifics! :)
