#projectrabbittoy

So about a month ago.. (yes this post is just a little bit late), I decided that it would be a good idea to do something creative.. so I made a trip to Hobbycraft and bought two wooden models and a 'sew a rabbit kit'. After making both models rather more quickly than anticipated, I began to make the rabbit.

And soon discovered I cannot sew. And at the rare times when I am able to do several stitches, its never neat. Basically, it's a good thing I didn't choose to do Textiles for GCSE! However, I did really enjoy making it.

                                                   So this is what it is supposed to look like:

 

 

 

 

And this is what mine looks like:

 

It's a bit wonky.. And it also needs a name.. suggestions welcome! :)

What Abbi Did Next.

(PLEASE EXCUSE THE CAPITALS IN MY TITLE. ITS A MICKEY TAKE OF WHAT KATIE DID NEXT)

So I've finished my A levels, had a pretty good summer and am now left wondering what the next step is.

I have come to this conclusion: I WANT TO GO INTO PR.

PR (otherwise known as Public Relations) is an industry which immediately excites me. It is all about maintaining the reputation of your clients - be it in agency, a company or an individual. And the thing is, you're often supporting a number of companies at the same time. As many different problems arise, it is up to you to come up with a solution. This involves a lot of quick thinking.

PR is also about having the ability to communicate well. I think a lot of my friends would be able to say (reasonably) confidently, that I'm good at this!

It is also about being creative and thinking of new ideas which may be a little crazy or somewhat 'outside of the box'. I'm pretty crazy myself and have a very vivid imagination - which has sometimes resulted in some very disturbing dreams..

So yeah, there you have it. PR is what I want to do. I have looked into university courses which are PR or PR related and so will be applying very shortly. In the meantime however, I am looking for a job or some work experience which will hopefully allow me to develop some of those skills needed.

I will of course keep you all updated.

The hills are alive..

So last week, I went on a family trip to Austria. Normally family trips consist of at least 3 arguments per day, HOWEVER I am proud to say that on this holiday, we had 3 arguments in about one week. Pretty astonishing really!!

We had an amazing time, Austria seems to me to be the place where dragons live alongside humans, unfortunately i was unable to find little evidence of them here. Austria is gorgeous though. Seriously, go visit it! Every mountain is incredible, the human population there is also highly lacking in dirty chavs. This pleased me. As well as this, I found very little litter on the streets. So, Austria? Well done, you are a lot cleaner and nicer than England and the only things stopping me from moving is more clothes shops, friends and family. Thats it.

Austria, you should be proud.

So in our little trip we did a number of things, these included visits to Salzburg and other towns and small villages, a ride to the top of the mountain (we're too lazy to walk up it), grass-sledging down the mountain, visit to a waterfall, a medieval castle, swimming in lakes. Oh, not to mention the continuous harmonising of our four voices singing songs from the Sound of Music.

Ehehe we're so cool :3.


Another thing worth mentioning is that I downloaded the Complete Collection of Sherlock Holmes on Kindle. It was wonderful. I have read most of it, now just have the preface by Arthur Conan Doyle to go.

That man deserves a big hug, I guess I'll join the end of the queue..
