EssHaych Gets Fit

Currently Listening To: Many A Horror - Biffy Clyro/ Making: Bear Ear Headbands/ Reading: The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold

Sorry for the lack of updates this past week, I've been up to my eye balls in custom orders and haven't had much time for blogging! I am currently in the middle of making 20 bear ear headbands for a lady I met at the Southend Craft Fair, and I have just this evening completed a Girl Guide leader doll for an Etsy customer...

She was a challenge! Dolls usually are for me - I finish the head and body in one sitting, then sometimes take about a week and a half to do just the arms and legs. But I got all of this one done in just under a week :) I hope the lady I made it for likes it!

Also this week, as the title suggests, I've been getting fit!! I know, hard to believe lol It started last week when a new Sports Village opened here in Basildon. It has about every type of sporting facility you could imagine - a pool, gym, courts, stadium, loads of halls for sports and gymnastics etc. So I thought I'd have a go, first at swimming.

I was a little nervous - I haven't been to a public pool since I was 13 :S But once I was in there it was all ok, and I actually managed to swim abit! Only about 3 meters at a time, but it's a start (I'm so unfit, seriously). I went again today with my Mum, who also enjoys a good swim. She's much better at it than me. I also plan on joining the gym haha! I even bought a new polo shirt and shorts today so I have something decent to wear! I don't know how long all this can last...

Aaaalso this week I am starting to teach my Mum how to use the computer. She already knows abit, but this week she and my Dad were treated to a new laptop, so obviously want to know how to use it properly. I know she checks out this blog, so 'Hello Mum!'

Hope everyone has a nice weekend :)
