We had our hearts set on something and had started to get excited about a big change but the problem is that its all set on the choice that someone else makes. A choice that's not ours but can change the path of our life. <br /><br />Trying not to be all gloomy I set to wrapping my mums birthday present ready for next week. Out came some old wrapping paper, a hot glue gun and my jar of ribbons. And the is the result -<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/09/2148.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/09/s_2148.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />To be honest I really surprised myself as this was the first crafty thing I've done for months!<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/09/2149.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/09/s_2149.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Gorgeous and reusable!

I'm a leopard gecko mummy! If you remember I breed two of my geckos this year and the first ever eggs Nyx laid everyone told me they wouldn't be fertile. I thought that there's no harm in incubating them just incase. <br /><br />I thought that they've been getting bigger but didn't want to get my hopes up. I've been checking them every morning and night. When I got home from work I had a little surprise.<br /><br />This time I have to say to all the 'experts' that you're wrong! Today both of those eggs hatched after 49 days in the incubator 82 oF. Check out these photos of my first gecko babies! <br /><br />This one was waiting for me when I got home, she's so bright in real life -<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/08/15/2320.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/15/s_2320.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Then this little one started breaking free -<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/08/15/2321.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/15/s_2321.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />This is just after she came right out - <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/08/15/2322.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/15/s_2322.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Now running on these dates, I'm hoping that the next two eggs will hatch in about two weeks.<br /><br />I'll keep you updated!<br /><br />V xxx<br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br />VixieAsbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13125506685689325951noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614530181228444077.post-86367166374605398512012-08-07T22:29:00.001+01:002012-08-07T22:29:46.605+01:00Memory BoxA memory box is something I believe everyone should have.

The both had MBD (metabolic bone disease), one was very bad and the other was mild. <br /><br />I'm not experienced at looking after beardies but I knew more about them then their owner. They hadn't been fed insects for weeks, didn't have the right basking lamp, didn't have fresh fruit and vegetables on a daily basic and had never been given any calcium or vitamins.

Now I can finally relax for a few hours.<br /><br />My relaxation started with making my very own 100% natural lip balm. A mix of natural beeswax, sweet almond oil, coconut oil, Shea butter and some essential oils to flavour.

Up to Alfred's Tower for a muddy stroll. Which ended up with us in fits of laughter as I lost my trainer in the mud. Which by the way led to me finding out just how lush it feels to walk with the mud squishing through your toes!<br /><br />It was then followed by drinks in the gorgeous The Chapel of Bruton. I had the most fabulous pot of fresh mint tea which was so nice I followed it up with a pot of Fresh Chamomile tea. Check out this - <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/07/11/2172.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/07/11/s_2172.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='158' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /> It was so warming, refreshing and uplifting.

On Monday a wonderful friend came over for tea and I struggled to think of something healthy but supper yummy. I came up with a curry. Two chicken breasts cut into small chunks, fresh peppers, onion and heaps of frozen vegetables covers in a yummy but health tikka masala sauce. With carefully weighed rice and weight watchers nan bread, a huge plate full was under 600kcal. Amazing what you can make for tea with only 600kcal.<br /><br />Here it is in progress -<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/07/07/106.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/07/07/s_106.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />So yummy I could eat it all again!

It's by Alexi Murdoch, All My Days.<br /><br />Listening to this songs lyrics really hit me hard. I've been think a lot lately about my hopes, dreams and aspirations. Really starting to wonder if I've left it too late to achieve all the things I dreamt of. I'm only 26 but feel like I'm hitting a brick wall of age. I feel stupid even writing such a thing but I feel so torn, follow my dreams or really settle down and think of having a family - which is also a hope for my future. It's a strange feeling of being trapped, not by my husband which most people would assume but trapped by myself and my thoughts and fears. Yep that's right Vix the fearless and fun loving is currently a little scared.<br /><br />You get so wrapped up in your everyday routine of life. Get up, get dressed, feed the cat, sort lunch, go to work, come home, cook tea, feed and hold geckos, watch tv, shower, bed. <br />I don't mind routine at all, I think it's a good thing. It becomes so easy to feel like your losing yourself forgetting your personality and individuality which makes you the person you are. The thought of losing touch of my inner self is terrifying. <br /><br />I even feel like I'm losing grip with the love of music I've had since I can remember.<br /><br />I think a much needed day on my own in a good coffee shop is much in need. Just me and my thoughts. And maybe a coffee and slice of cake, for it's the simple pleasures and the little details that I notice the most. If theres a deer in field and were driving past at 70 mph I'll still be the first one to spot it, that I guarantee! I even noticed a heron fly over the fields opposite my work. Random or what.<br /><br />Below is a classic example of my love of simple things, coffee and cereal bars!<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/07/05/3228.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/07/05/s_3228.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />After my cafe day, it's time for a new tattoo. Complete contrast i know! I love my tattoos so much, they both mean so much to me. The feeling after having it done is a feeling like no other, like you can take on the world and the world is yours for the taking. <br /><br />I'm also hoping that the weight I'm currently losing will help me find the confidence to do the things I used to love. Surfing, running, dancing, rock climbing, horse ridding, painting, meeting me people..... the list goes on. <br /><br />I'm ready to embrace some changes and start living my life day by day rather than wishing the days away!<br /><br />Thanks for putting up with my rambling.<br /><br />V. xx<br /><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br />VixieAsbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13125506685689325951noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614530181228444077.post-73908501832881674502012-07-01T21:30:00.001+01:002012-07-01T21:30:47.823+01:00Amazing Vintage WeddingSo last week, two wonderful friends tied the knot in style.

It's meant to be the Laundry Room but not many people over here have laundry rooms, but I sure would love one! So instead I did some washing, everyone knows that's a chore that's never ending!<br />Now, I didn't want show you a photo of before . . . . My dirty washing. <br />So here's after (well this is one load, 2 more to go!) - <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/05/11/2669.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/05/11/s_2669.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />After this my days and chore gotta bit muddled up! Day 11 I used to clean up my 'spice cabinet' to me that's just a spice rack! Heres the dust before - <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/05/11/2670.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/05/11/s_2670.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />And the spotless after -<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/05/11/2671.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/05/11/s_2671.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Next was Day 12 'medicine cabinet' or to me was a medicine draw.

Check out the haul! <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/05/06/3748.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/05/06/s_3748.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />I needed some pots or draws for clips and broach bars and I walked out with this little beauty for 99p -<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/05/06/3749.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/05/06/s_3749.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />I also needed jugs and rubber spatulas for soap, all of which were £1 in Wilko. And a huge box to keep my soap ingredients which was only £4.50 and a big note book for soapy ideas £1.45!<br />One of my lilies has decided to flower (well produce one flower) but how pretty is this - <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/05/06/3750.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/05/06/s_3750.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/05/06/3751.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/05/06/s_3751.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />The flower is huge for the size of the plant!<br />A few weeks ago I picked up a bargain pair of jeans from New Look and they weren't even in the sale. It wasn't until I tried them on at home that I found out the zip wasn't stitched on properly so I had to redo it, which only took 10 mins so I didn't mind. Then I tried them on with my biggest pair of heels to find that there still too long! I normally ware a 33-34" leg up to 36" if the heels are killer but these were still too bloody long! So today I took the hems up with the wonderful invention of hemming tape - <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/05/06/3752.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/05/06/s_3752.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Note to self, try things on before you buy them! This rule payed off this morning as I tried on three pairs of trousers and one pair was huge, the second too small and the third were very unflattering - all three from the same shop! No wonder women take ages shopping! <br />Ooo and whilst I was out I picked up these gorgeous shoes! They should have been £19.50 reduced to £8.00, it was the only pair they had and I've wanted some this style for ages! It was meant to be! <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/05/06/3753.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/05/06/s_3753.jpg' border='0' width='320' height='320' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />That's enough randomness for one day! <br />Its 12.42am, time to sleep! Sleep well.<br />V xxx<br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br /><br />VixieAsbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13125506685689325951noreply@blogger.com0
