Only one night until my trip to London \o/

[beelikej]

For some days there was a musty smell coming from my guestroom and on Monday (the first day of my vacation) I went in to investigate. I found a crate with old books and a plastic bag with arts and crafts from highschool. As it turned the latter was the source of the smell. Because I can't even throw damaged stuff out without getting sentimental, I made photos before I put the artsy schoolmemories in the trash. Ahw. Here are my creations from a not nearly forgotten past (about 1982/1983)


A mermaid painted on silk


A lid of a (lost) box, made of patchwork around cardboard. Apparently I had a 7 and an 8 (out of ten) for the set. Huh.


And the pièce de résistance: made out of stuffed stocking... I don't even know. I labeled it 'The modern man'. It looks like my old teacher from middleschool. I have no idea what the assignment was or what I was thinking.

Okay, fine, you caught me: I didn't throw everything out. I saved this:


Isn't it gorgeous. I suspect I made the design, but possibly my mom helped making it; I'm not known to work very neatly;)
I put it up on the wall of my livingroom. I love the design. (And trust me; it doesn't smell;)


Tomorrow I'm going to London with tanisafan, whom I will meet up with in Brussels. We'll stay in a hotel with a bath until Sunday! We have tickets for two plays (Richard III and Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead) and no other specific plans but to have a relaxing time:)

So I'm off to check my backpack and then to bed; I don't have to get up extremely early to catch a train, but as usual travelstress has got me in its grip and I prefer to have plenty of time to get ready tomorrowmorning.

Will tell you all about our adventures when I get back! *waves*

It is a very freaky creation, what the hell was my state of mind when I made that. (probably going through one of my I HATE MEN stages;)

The fun sure made me forget all about the stress;) *twirls you*
