Sia's going solo- any feedback encouraged :) (with pics)

Weekends aren't too different for me at the moment- i am only studying 2 days a week & my OH is studying too so not too much temptation. When i start uni in sept it will be different though, but no different to working full time, hopefully a bit better.

I am studying Art & Design & this is the first half of my final project- i am currently researching how different practitioners work with the theme of memory, so i am doing loads of research in my sketchbook while trying to make it look visually interesting.

Oh my goodness,fair play to you doing art and design, I know even at school when people did it for gcse it was really intense and time consuming.

How have you gotten on today since lunchtime?

 

[Sia]

I have edited my diary from earlier. I have had a bad day- 20syns+

The crab linguine and chicken tikka with coconut rice sounds amazing! Are those recipes online?


Also, I saw quinoa in asda and wanted to try it but I'm a bit scared as I don't really know what I'm doing with it lol

Just reading through you're diary and getting really inspired by the different dinner recipes. I'm definitely going to have to try the Teriyaki Salmon. Good luck with it all.
