Hey everybody!

Well, as most people know, its the holidays. So, Im in france with my sister

for the rest of the holidays since my mum is working all week

I've been looking around online etc and I have thought about bookbinding, its pretty 'cheap' as most things you will already have and maybe buy some things at craft shops

Also, bags

In yr 7 we had to make bags (well I didnt since I didnt go to that school lol) but I found some 'sewer friendly patterns' online on etsy for like $4-$8 which you can obviously make changes to make different bags..so um yeah xD My mum said I was allowed to buy like 2-3 patterns

I guess I would try it with like scrap fabric first? See how it works out..if I like it then I would buy proper fabric. Oh, anyone know if 'Japanese linen cotton blended fabric, medium weight, 55% linen, 45% cotton' is strong enough fabric to make a bag? Like inside and outside xD Anyway. Hope to do some shopping in Trammy-Rose (Innerwalls) In St.Malo. WAHAY. Oh yeah, before I forget, I was thinking for textiles, since we have to do a scrapbook...maybe make one? Like bookbinding? It would look THE SHIZ if it actually turned out right lol.

Current Goals

1. Karate - Yellow Belt..Its the hols, after hols I will be able to get my orange belt pretty soon

2. Happyness rating - ..8/10

3. Ideas thought of to make monies - Bags? Bookbinding? Cards?
4. Hobbies to start - Bagmaking, bookbinding

I really need some help/ideas

Sat Jan 30, 2010, 2:04 PM

Hey Guys, and to people who will take the time to read this and maybe comment.

I need some help, I'm currently saving up for; Macbook (though it can wait a few years till Uni and that) A 'professional' camera (A dslr Nikon or Canon or w.e xD) Copic Markers....and I think there is more xD So, that somes to a grand total of OVER £1000. Bam. Yes, that is alot. And dont say 'get a job' and all that because I have a problem. To get a job in the Uk or Jersey (where I am) you have to be 14. And currently, I am 13. So that leaves me with selling stuff on the internet maybe prints, make a book I dont know, Im making money at home by Ironing everything (like all the washing and that) Every weekend for £5.. so over a year thats.. £260, so thats Copic Markers paid? I also get £5 if I cook a family meal once a week, though I will forget so its not likely. I really need help, I can get work once im 14 which is in April but most people wont take us or pay us the minimum wage an hour (£4.80) And we can only work 2 hours a day and 5 hours on a saturday maximum, and its not like I will work all hours anyway. So guys, PLEASE help, just tell me some ideas i can do!

So thanks, sorry for all the blabbering on and the massive rant,

Thanks, Caro L

Charity Shop Finds

Sat Dec 19, 2009, 7:09 AM

Well, I went to the Jersey Hospice Charity Shop Warehouse, since my friend bought these old cameras and my mum said that she found some there last week. so, I went there with mum this morning. guess what. there werent any cameras. i was like nooo xD So my mum asked at the desk, and after lots of rumaging around in the back they found the box. lol. there were at least 20 old film cameras there. mmmm. i bought 4.

- Olympia (not to be confused with Olympus

Olympia is the fake btw) 6000sel, or just the same as all their other cameras.
- Kodak Instamatic 133-X
- Olympus (Not to be confused with Olympia xD lol) (the name is in japanese..so..) u[mju:]-II, with original case I think. And with film inside, so I need to replace the batteries and finish the film, and see what other pictures people took with it! (can we have an Ooooh. lol)
and finally - Pentax - PC35AF-M, with original case I think.

And all that for £15 lol. I was going to get 3 others but it was going to be £20, and i didnt have that money lol.

So that was like £3.50 for a camera? maybe a bit more, but I think thats good. mm, I think imma have to go back! And watch this space for really crappy shots with my new toys! LOL.
