Sunday Catch Up: Artwork, Moving, Look After Myself.


Bonjour!

I hope this weekend is going well for you all :) This is my favourite part of the week, because I get to sit back, organise my workload, take stock of how the week has gone, and pamper myself a bit. Though as a freelancer, I can work to any schedule I like; I do enjoy keeping Sundays as those days to chill out still.

This week I've been creating a lot of artwork, both simply for myself, for my Etsy shop and for custom work people have booked with me. It's been awesome overall, but my tablet did die on me this week and cause such a hassle, but that's all sorted now thankfully! My favourite creations have been the 'Girl Power' print shown above, and the cute heart garland shown below. I love anything girly as you can see!

Desk Tour


Hi guys!

It's only been two or three days since my last blog post, but I feel like I've been absent for ages! Life last week seemed to just pile up on me, and blogging was put on hold for a few days; meaning my usual post-every-single-day-sort-of-schedule, got kind of messed up.

But anyway, you may have seen from my Snapchat or Instagram (which always stay active by the way!) that I recently redid my whole workspace and bought a new desk. I'm so happy with how it turned out, that I thought I'd share some snaps of it with you guys today.


15 Things That Happen When You Get Engaged

There's no denying that someone proposing to you, like, actually getting down on one knee and asking you to spend the rest of your life with them; is a huge deal. It's life changing (if you say yes..) and a story you'll probably tell over and over again. 

But what about afterwards? After the putting on the ring and saying yes bit? After the promise to stick it out until you're old and wrinkly? What then?

Here are fifteen things that happen after that moment (well, here's fifteen things that have happened to me)...



1. You immediately have to tell EVERYONE. I don't just mean your mum and BFF, I mean every single person you possibly can. You want that news out there, in Twitterland, on Facebook, with Insta photos. Who knows why? Maybe just because you always found it annoying when an engagement popped up on your Facebook feed, so now you want your own revenge? Maybe just to avoid phoning everyone in your family, or having friends say 'Why didn't you tell me?!' as soon as they find out. Either way, you better believe the whole world is finding out, with pictures.

Have we called the local paper yet? Surely they'll want to know!

7 Things I Miss From My Teens



1. Being an emo.
Yeah, I said it. It's just not socially acceptable anymore. Plus I'm nearly 30. But by god I do miss that heavy AF black eyeliner, emo fringe, fishnet gloves and only living in band tshirts.

2. Nickelodeon TV shows.
Sister Sister, Sabrina The Teenage Witch, and Kenan and Kel were MY JAM once I got home from school. I swear I could never decide which was my fave (Sister Sister, maybe). They were the perfect trio of shows that played one after the other. Ooh! And remeber Nickelodeon used to do that 'Vote or what plays next' thing? God the money I wasted.. (Sorry Mum).

Get To Know Me; The A - Z Of Jemma


Why not eh? Let's get to know the top tit behind this blog.


A - Alcohol - I like it, a lot. You can often find me drunk snapping/blogging/youtubing. It's a thing.

B - Best friend. Her name is Charlie, she's a little bit Chinese, a lot scouse. She cried when she 'came out' to me, and I met her at college. She is a big personality and I adore her.

C - Colourful hair. I don't tend to stick with natural colours, so blue, green, purple, pinks, etc are all okay with me. It changes often too.

Also Criminal Minds is one of my fave tv shows ever.
