I've moved!

Heyo, I've started a new blog here: http://aracelisrandomness.wordpress.com/

Sorry Blogger, you were just not doing it for me.

Introducing Lord Percy Percy

Growing up we always had pets at home. By pets I mean more than the usual, dogs, cats, fish... We had everything you can imagine, both in cages but also running/flying around our various houses: from every single type of bird you can image (parrots, finches, canaries, hummingbirds, robins, chicks, galahs, budgies, a mina, a tucan) to iguanas, chameleons, a snake, turtles, frogs, a porcupine, hamsters and even a monkey at one point.

Since leaving home 6 years ago I'd always missed the company of a pet and now that I am living by myself, I was craving the company of a low-maintenance pet, preferably a bird, who would sing to me in the mornings and keep me company. Last week I had some good friends over for dinner and they brought Lord Percy Percy in lieu of wine. Such a great present, I am taming him in earnest and hopefully within a few weeks he'll be able to fly around and perhaps, if lucky, perch on my shoulder.

Before and After - the Met

First in what I hope will be a series of "before and afters" - one of the many pictures I took of the Met last Christmas in NYC and then my interpretation of the building.

I do hope Messrs Vaux and Wrey Mould wouldn't think my version an aberration of their glorious museum...

Third time lucky?

It's time to remove the cobwebs of this blog for a third time - it seems that spring is the time my body craves creativity and sunshine in equal measure. I have very exciting craft projects waiting to take off and would like to write as they come along... hopefully.

Also, I ended up moving across the Atlantic last autumn and Canada is my new home.

More to come soon....
