Not Much Use Here?!

The burrrr months are finally here, and it's usually my favourite time of the year. It's going to be a lot of firsts now, I'm scared about how things will feel at Christmas and I really don't know how well I'll be able to face these things, but let's bring on the burrr months and hope for a little positivity... 
On that side of things, we're heading towards the BEST holiday of the year... That's right HALLOWEEN IS COMING so things may start getting a little more costumed up here, not that you'd be able to tell them apart from my usual ramblings though... 

I'm starting the month off slow, I KNOW I've been slow for a while now but I hope things will pick up sooner rather than later. Still I'm playing more, exploring more, getting ready for spooky season and LOVING the fact that we can start getting into Autumnal feels... 
Happened today when I was wandering through my inventory, sorting things and prepping other things... I randomly ended up discovering a dark little square called Last Hope Harbor - a backdrop from K&S - that I HOPED was setting up for Halloween, because the Guillotine - a Guilty Guillotine from Violetility at FameshedX until September 10th - in the middle of the square looked rather ominous. Although judging by the baskets laying around, one could never be sure! 
I was looking for work as a Roming Apothecary - with a bag on my back from Static - but I don't know if they'd want my help here... Not much even the best trained apothecary can do when the head isn't attached!

Skin: amara beauty - Freya in Ivory
Bag: Static - Roaming Apothecary Pack

I Wish I Could Bake Cakes!

I have been working on bettering myself this year...
I've been exercising more and have lost around 25kilos. I'm reading more so that I spend less time looking at a screen, which is helping me with a reduction in headaches and a better feeling about myself, as a way to relaxing and taking my mind off to places that aren't my normal. I'm trying to work on my photography skills, improving my pictures and taking time to try taking pictures of other things, broadening my horizons if you will. Everything is getting better, everything is making me feel better in myself and I'm proud of the changes that I've been making... Now what do I want to do to improve myself?

I'm good with reading, I'm good with taking pictures - and I'm not one of the best but what I do makes me happy anyway - and I LOVE crocheting so much that my blanket is ALMOST ready. I love cooking and make a mean curry, but there is one skill that I am really wanting to improve on is learning how to bake... My mum makes the most amazing fruit cakes, my sister is a champion cookie maker, if I so much as attempt at baking a cake with boxed ingredients I could burn the house down. I LOVE CAKE. I wish I could bake cakes. It would save me so much money if I could bake rather than buy cakes! 
Once I've gotten better skills, I think I could start a business... Baking cakes for willing victims, I mean, customers... A Spooky Cake, boed and ready to be collected - from Junk Food - and a Cheeky Cake with a sexy suggestion that will hopefully get someone lucky - like the cakes from Krescendo, available until September 10th at FaMESHedX - there should be cakes for everyone!!
