Wishful Thinking

I wasn't sure how to open up the first post after my nine days away, despite this special little treat, Friday's Foul Food Fotos.

But I've well and truly landed back in cyber space. So hello there from Moopette Maison all! Nice to be back.

Nine days without any internet or laptop to entertain me, I thought... Ace! Brilliant! Nine whole days while the Mr's away, kids at School during the day, I can get LOADS done. I can make this and that, organise this, be really creative, coffee with the ladies, bit of pampering, etc. etc. BUT sods law landed on my doorstep with a massive THUD(!!) in the form of a horrid flu that wiped out my little monkeys and knocked me down half way through the week too. So... no energy and two little poorly lassies to look after on me tod... Get ANYTHING done??! Hell no.

All I could muster up was the energy to do these... Titled "Wishful Thinking"...

 

 

And these...

 

Looking a bit shoddy as they need to be scanned rather than photographed, but ours is in scanner heaven.

So there you have it. In the whole nine days away... that was pretty much it. I envisaged my pretty blue craft desk spilling over the top with crafty makes and projects... but it wasn't to be.

However... remember this?? It's very exciting...

Yep! Fulcanelli's Shoes has finally been released in it's entirety. So please please check it ooot here which features the full length video (54.53) as well. Plus there's another very special page which is purely the music from Fulcanelli's Shoes... right about.... here.

So that's all marvellous and jolly.

Three little nitty-bits of Moop news. 

Well... Fanny Hatstand and myself were setting up a film festival with a food theme, to run alongside Bridport Food Festival. Unfortunately it's now postponed until next year's Food Festival, so we have much longer to focus on it and set it up. So MINDTHEGAP!!!

It's been long awaited by many... but one of these days I'm going to get round to finishing off the video of the event we curated, HowToSayTo, from a couple of weeks ago at Bridport Arts Centre.

And... last but very much not the least...

I love my new mug from Pam's for 30p!

I've been mentioning now and again a little idea I have... that I think and hope will really pick up and be... (ok ... no modesty here) .... flippin' floppin' ludicrously massive!

I think it's a very good idea... which has something to do with tea... however, you will have to wait and see! All I will say is that I LOVE TEA! So MINDTHIS(verybig)GAP!!!

Hello, I must be going...

... I cannot stay, I came to say, I must be going... I'm glad I came, but just the same, I must be going...

And really I must. There's no choice in the matter. I'm off to lands that no longer exist. Dedicated to all my lovely twitwits out there, you're going to be missed. A Thrifty Mrs for her impeccable thrifting and adventures, The Round Window for thoroughly entertaining me with hilarious oddities, Luliemma for just being plain silly when so needed, Flopsydaisy for beautiful vintage finds and positive inspiration, ThisGirl_is for being a proper real humble gal with immaculate advice, Rabbit Portal for making me go, "blummin' 'eck" and "oooooerrrr" at how amazing his illustrations are, Teasemade for being the worlds best hand stitcher which makes me go, "how? ... how is this possible? how did she do that?!" and of course to Etsy & Folksy for introducing me to so many amazing artists/designer/makers and making things possible.

That's right, the land of the no internet/laptop for nine whole days.

So then... I have decided, in my holiday away from technology (damn not having two computers and Mr going away to work with the only one... damn damn!) I shall be eating plenty of these...

Can't get enough of the stuff!

Making lots more of these...

Cake tier stand for all those sweet goodies

And these...

The Owl Family

Whilst drinking lots of tea from this...

The best teapot, cups & saucers in the world, that I hinted my bro-in-law bought the Mr for his birthday from a chazza for 4 squid!!

And watching lots of this...

 Which is exactly the song that has been going around and around in my head all day. Could ya tell??!

AND possibly attempting more things like this...

Loving my new pack of colourful fine liners... but not loving these as much... just yet... definitely a WIP

Well, I'm going to miss you all (I've probably missed some of my best and most favourite twitwits off my list, but it is 2.19am...) Dedicated?? Nope... just plain stupid and addicted. Hook, line and sinker.

Plus I just ***HAD*** to get one more post up before I endure cold turkey, surely??!

And anyhow... I have been making this little short, this evening ... for this with more info on my submission right about............................................... here.

So, wish me luck!! And to those oh-so-wonderful twitwits, do say hello & pass by while I'm away & give the blog a little dusting over (And...RTs) if poss! :~}

I'm very contactable by @ing me through twitter (clever mobile phone, that sends tweets straight to it! Who'da thought?!) however, I'll be completely blind to all the conversations/tweet streams (as it's not really that clever, as it won't let me onto twitter!). It would be lovely to hear from you though!

So... Au revoir, tatty bye, see you later alligator and bonne nuit.
