ok, so i know this is late...and i also know i haven't been blogging much lately. bad millie.
it's just work. 
work. work. work.
i always said i would never say that. in my youth (yes i am only 23 and i am using that phrase. thats how bad things are.) i would roll my eyes when people said that they couldn't do the things they loved because they were so busy doing work they very much didn't love. i would simply shrug my shoulders and say very unhelpful things like 'so get another job' or 'just quit! life's too short!'.
a few weeks a go i wanted to slap my younger, blonder self in the face and shout 'stupid girl!'. but now, maybe i should start taking a leaf out of her book. 
and for goodness sake i really need to STOP MOANING. i have become The Moaning Queen. 
and on that note...
the day for mothers came and went as did the traditional 'family meal' and a rather spontaneous jaunt through the daffodils.

the mother and the brother

the mother and the uncle

the uncle and the nan

the nan and the mother

and me and the brother

and yes, there was lots of getting up and playing musical chairs in order to get all these photos (and all the hundreds and thousands the uncle insisted on taking and that the brother insisted on escaping out of) before the food and drinks arrived.

my yummy starter of mellon (which was actually ridiculously filling and i had to wimp out and get the brother to eat half)

vegan curry and chips. happy millie

good coffee. mucho happy millie

then we all decided to go catch some pixies in the daffodils.

my little place in cyber space

hello lovely beings.
just thought i'd let you know that i have eventually got myself a little etsy shop :) i've not been feeling too well so at the moment i have only put on a small collection of bracelets. but there is still sooooo much more to come. i have been crafting like crazy lately, and am so keen to hurry up and get it on etsy. 
if you'd like to go take a browse please do :) (i wish it was an actual real life shop because then i could make you all a cuppa tea and ask if you wanted cake)
HERE IS MY SHOP!

blue skies make me smile through everything

my latest tattoo...

so whenever i'm feeling a bit sad, i can just open my hand and i'll always have a small piece of the blue sky with me.

roll up! roll up!

blue

sometimes, the world gets so heavy. 
it's like i don't notice the trees melting, and they drip sticky sap onto my bare shoulders. 
the sea is so thick, it pulses against rocks and they crash in my head and my teeth grind with the pressure and i can taste the blood but i can't stop. 
i'm underwater and i'm drowning, i'm slipping over stones. someplace far away over the miles that stretch before me i can hear the drones.
i am weak. a weak pathetic human. what surrounds me is stronger, it will not relent, give in or give up.
i know i will fall, crumple into the ground. my last retching breath and aching bones will smear into that deafening sound. 
sometimes the world is too heavy.
