So, cause I’m going away for the coming week [I'm going to have so much mail!] I decided to clean my room, and in doing so came across one of my two memory/ random cool things boxes, and I decided that going through it would make for a good blog entry [not to mention recording for prosperity should something bad happen].
So, first things out of the box: The train tickets that I used to get to Alex for his birthday complete with times for my connecting trains. The only engagement card that I liked from the three I got. It got a stylised image of a couple sat at a table drinking Martinis, with the guy kissing the girls hand. Three hand written letters from my G’ma that she sent during my brief time at uni.
Next three: A bees wax candle with s red cross on it, made by Lizabeth Sims. A pottery rooster figurine thing from Portugal I think, from my G’ma and G’mpa. A Brownsea Island woggle, never used [possibly I bought it for a keepsake and never got around to using it].
Next three: A purple patterned light bulb, I bought the second time I went to Greenbelt [Christian arts festival]. It’s really pretty on and off. A pair of white embroidered gloves. I can’t remember anything about them other than they came from G’ma. They fit me almost perfectly though…. A pair of chopsticks made from bamboo and decorated, from my [not really] Aunty Joyce. I think they must be for eating with, cause they really don’t work in hair.
What next? Woolly things now. A tiny crochet coaster I made ages ago In a fit of random craftiness. It’s blue and brown *pulls face* A turquoise wool octopus I made at some big Guide camp when I was too young to even be a rainbow I think. Made with help from another not-aunt [you tend to get many of those when your mum's a guider]. And finally in the woolly category, a green felt mouse with a sash that said [by popular consensus] ‘Be green’. I think it was a parental gift from somewhere while I was going through my uber green stage.
Maybe I should have made a crafty category, instead of a woolly one, cause what’s just come out now is a gecko made of beads. This was made at the second castervaria I went to. He’s purple and yellow, and I’m sure he use to have a name. I know it was the second Castavaria because he has a X on his back, and it was during this camp that ‘Druid of the X’ was revised and shortened to the Dru you know and love today
Ya know what I said about going on holiday? I just remembered I’m s’posed to be packing. Oops. I’ll have to finish this some other time.
