SYNTH CAKES

I know I don't normally do posts that are just links, but these synth cakes totally needed showing off. I'm going to make one. Who is keen?

Handmade origami fireworks!

Yesterday as a slight procrastination tool I made this origami firework! It was actually pretty easy and there is a really good video tutorial for it.






This firework is a celebration of me being FINISHED with uni for the year! WOO!
Now, back to writing! I'm sooooo behind!

for those who care to read...

...here is more of my story! Thanks for reading!!!

First 14 pages!

As a special treat just for may lovely blog readers I am posting the first (COMPLETELY UNEDITED) 14 pages of the book I am writing. I'm currently at 4015 words and still at the very beginning!
Please keep any not so nice comments you may have to yourself because it is just a draft folks! But any encouragement welcomed gladly :-)

Here goes!

Nano, chapter 1.

I'm at 2200 words, partway through chpt 1 and I thought I'd share with you two of my Wordle pictures of what I've written so far.





If you are wondering what 'Torkney' is, he is the grandfather of the triplets on their Mother's side! All will make sense soon I promise!

I'm a bit behind so I'm going to type furiously today!

Vege-tables

I'm a bit of a green finger really... I love my vege gardens! Being in the flat I am now in I decided to make my vegie garden in a planter box so if need be I could take it with me whenever I left.

My dad has loads of these planter boxes and is selling them for a mere $20 each... so if you need one let me know

Start by putting the planter box in a sunnyish place and filling it with good quality soil.

Then in the soil dig wee holes


Take your plant out of its house...


and gently spilt apart the roots somewhat.


Pop it in the hole and build up the soil around it

This is a courgette plant!

Continue this until all your plants are in


Put the tags in the soil so you remember what each is




And if you have any plants that will grow tall, add stakes in the soil next to them, so they can grow up them



Remember to water them after the sun has gone, if it hasn't rained already.

I will keep you posted on the growth! And blog soon about growing from seed.
