Things I will do when this semester is over (yes I should be doing uni work as I speak);
♡ Sand down and paint my desk with bright red shiny enamel paint.
♡ Write letters for days straight (I'm at just under 40 due).
♡ Collate bits and pieces for a long-planned letter-writing/mail-art themed zine.
♡ Grow my nails (uni makes me bite them), then paint them all a different colour.
♡ Start packing up my life/house in boxes to take to Launceston, Tasmania.
♡ Cook many more 'ooey-gooey chocolatey' recipes from Nigella.com.
♡ Catch the train to Dungog and visit le fam and my little Rosie niece.
♡ Read an entire book (I'm getting by reading letters, zines and comics).
♡ Go for bike rides with C.
♡ Play guitar more often.

Some things my mail box has been lucky enough to eat up lately;


^ I was lucky enough to win one of Paper Pastries' recent giveaways and this is the little haul I came away with. I am a bit in love with the library card, I don't know if I'll ever be able to part with it! And the packaging of the whole thing was to die for.


^ Carly sent me a fantastic letter and cute package.


^ A lovely first letter from Kaatje.


^ It took its time in transit, but Jennlui's pretty little package from Megan's stationery swap finally found its way to me and it was so worth the wait. Thank you Jenn!


^ Danielle of Dinosaur Toes sent me these two beautifully decorated mixes for Kittycat's mix cd swap.


^ This was one helluva letter, it was actually a small book! Mary totally outdid herself, this is one of the most unique and special things I've ever received. Just gorgeous!


^ Megan sent me such a fantastic little collection of things, including a bunch of vintage photographs which are so one of a kind.


^ Another lovely letter full of goodies from Rebecca in England. Customs likes opening my mail it seems!


^ This letter was such a delight to read (and she has such beautiful handwriting). Letters from Misss Belen are some of my favourites.


^ A letter from this miss could brighten any day, thank you so much Micaela! A beautiful letter accompanied this beautiful package. The red-shoed postcard is definitely a favourite. I put the socks on as soon as I had photographed them. I will need a whole lot for of cute warm socks like these in cold Tasmania in two months!;


^ Mesca checking out my stripy feet.


^ Yesterday C and I minded his nephew Marley for the day. I swear, when I have children, if they're anything like this little kid, I'll be in heaven. He's so damn sweet. I got him to pose with my letter from Lauren. Thanks lady!


^ It seems to be the giveaway season! I nabbed this gorgeous Japanese tape from the giveaway at Uguisu.


^ I treated myself to some fabulous stationery from cute NZ company Nut And Bee - I got Sky Slide labels and Where Rainbows Come From notepad. I am so keen to make another order.


^ Can you say free shipping? I certainly can. I am keeping myself away from Bookdepository.co.uk from now on! I picked up a box of Stuff On My Cat postcards, a copy of the Ghost World comic I've been trying to track down for years, a Kath Kidston labels and stickers book and stationery box for $40. I still feel pretty guilty about spoiling myself with stationery, but I'm sure it will wear off. Ha.

I have to make a poster for a hypothetical fashion parade for one of my classes and so far I have a long way to go. I do have my font down-pat though, ha;



Now I have an intensive weekend of work ahead - I hope yours is far more relaxing!

Well folks, a little over a week (and a lot of work) and I'm done uni (for a while). If you're waiting on a letter from me, never fear! It will be signed, sealed and delivered shortly.

I've been trying to get out and take photos around the city lately for an assignment. Trying to take the 'perfect' photo, for a purpose, with a deadline, in wet weather, has not been as fruitful as I'd like. Here are a few I thought I'd share;

Blogosphere, meet (some of) Newcastle...

 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 

^ Before We Begin by Christopher Jonassen.

As I'm strapped for time for any proper posts, I thought I'd fill out a 'Six Senses Saturday Sunday' meme (started by this lady, and found via this lady);



Right Now I'm...

Tasting: Schrogetten yoghurt-strawberry flavoured chocolate from Aldi, mmyum. 

Smelling: Incense and C's cooking. 

Seeing: One of our cats snuggled up all in a ball on the couch. 

Hearing: C unpacking groceries (he's such a good wife :P) and 'Sydney from a 727' by Paul Kelly (it contains the line, "have you ever fallen for a girl with different coloured eyes and sent her letters full of lies?", heh). 

Touching: Freshly cleaned keyboard keys; never again will I purchase a white computer. 

Feeling: Inexplicably exhausted and definitely not inclined to start my poster project. I wish I could buy some motivation. I need a personal uni trainer, someone to stand over my shoulder and egg me on to finish assignments. Any takers? I'll pay you $20 for every assignment I get done? I've got four due in two weeks.

You might not be able to tell that there have been some little changes around here; a quick layout tidy-up and I decided on a whim to purchase a url. Blogger offers them for $10/year (Dashboard > Settings > Publishing) and I thought why not, so, hello from www.goodnightlittlespoon.com! :)

Here's one of my all-time favourite Youtube videos;



Happy weekend!
