Tattoo?

I have been thinking about getting another tattoo, which is weird because I never thought I would ever have 1 tattoo! My first one was on the inside of my left wrist and is 2 little ‘pixie’ feet to represent Tinkerbell of course! :) I love it, here is a couple of pics, I did a post on it before but it was right after so looks completely diff now!

I would like my new one to be of a Cherry Blossom tree as I think it is beautifull, plus the fascination I have with japeanese culture etc. I would like something like this:

cherry-tattoo3 Cherry_Blossom_Tattoo2

but maybe not in those places, I was thinking about maybe going down my right foot but it would hurt like hell!! Well anyway I can’t get one till I have money so might be a wait. Would love to know your thoughts of where and what you think and especially if you’ve got a tattoo on your foot.




Sing Song!

I’m feeling in a very sing song mood today, music on loud, singing at the top of my voice anoying the neighbours! Tehehe. If the other half hadn’t ‘leant’ the PS3 to a friend I could play sing star with the 60+ songs we have on there! haha.

On another, sort of related, note I made 3 Post secrets yesterday, if you don’t know what Post secret is then you should go find out now, it’s such a brilliant idea and I love it so much I have created my own Post secret book which has loads of my own one’s I have made over the last couple of years. It’s a brilliant way to get thing’s off your chest that is bothering you/voice your opinions and be creative at the same time.

Here is one of the one’s I made yesterday that is not quite as personal as the rest:

Post Secret

Now back to the sing songing and a bit of head banging too *No one’s gonna take me aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiive, The time has come to make things riiiiiiiiiiiight, You and I must fight for our riiiiiiiiiiiiiights, You and I must fight to surviiiiiiiiiiiiive!* (Knights of Cydonia – Muse)




Yay, new blog:)

I have worked over a couple of days to get this blog the way I want it and I think I can finally say that I have achieved it. I am very proud of myself and hope that any one who reads it likes it too. Let me know your views, it would be greatly appreciated, just comment below:)

This is a sort of renewall of Tink Shui, it has gone though many different styles, ideas and options but I think I will settle on this one now. Just a simple blog about me as a crafter on my journey through life, just like all the blogs that I subscribe to seem to be and the way I like them. Because let’s face it, we are all a bit nosey about other people aren’t we! hehe.

A big thank you to Scribble Scratch for this fantastic free wordpress theme that I have modified a fair bit. I hope you think I did your theme justice and that you don’t automatically not like me because my name is Jody, were not all bad!:)

Now I suppose after all this work I better get crafting!

O it’s a hard life;)
