My Muse came home...

Finally! She has returned!
My friend Maria showed me a site of amazing artwork by FABIO J NAPOLEONI. His stuff is cute, has lots of feeling and yes some of it is dark, but it makes you just want to reach into the drawing and hug them. After viewing his artwork, my muse decided to come back, after seeing the amazing colour combinations and things to do, she decided it was time to come home to mama!
Yes... now all I need is the time to get at the torch! Think I might go turn it on now!

One of my many favourites of his drawings:

Pinkie Swearers!

So far so good! 5 days into the diet and I haven't caved, and after having a few trying times this week I'm really proud of myself.
Now I just have to get back to my beadmaking!
Where is my muse?
Has anyone seen her?

She has wild firey hair, tends to wear blue/green watery type clothes, and has these most gorgeous wings, they remind me a lot of the artist Amy Brown's Fairy Wings. The top is firey like her hair and the bottom wings are watery colours! I miss her! If you see her, please send her home!

Pinkie swear...

I have pinkie sworn with my friend Heather.
From today right this moment. Health time! Diet and workouts.
I will be starting a new job as of 1 September and I will be going to a gym as of August 28th. Its a place I felt comfortable at, and they have a sauna to help relax muscles after your workout. So I will be doing this to improve my body. No one has told me I have to do this, and I am doing it for myself. In fact one guy at a place a work told me point blank that there was NOTHING wrong with me. Course I can't take his opinion as non-biased his wife is a big woman too. He did give me another compliment though, telling me I did not look as heavy as I am. He guessed I was 105 kilos for which I am 126 kilos. When I get down to 105 kilos I think I'll give him a big thank you.

Life has been busy busy busy...
Kids are now a week back in school and me a week back at work.
I don't really want to be, but have to put food on the table for the kids and healthy food for me.

Breakfast - 750 ml water, one nectarine, one banana, cup of green tea with a teaspoon of local beekeeper honey.
