Happy Birthday to me!!!

Today was my birthday! I can no longer officially sing "Sixteen going on Seventeen" anymore! Scary thought!
I had a great day! I made a cake, and had pizza for dinner with my family. I got great presents, too. I got three Tolkien books from Mum and Dad, some pretty lanterns from two of my siblings, and two cookbooks from another! Tonight I'm going to watch the rest of the semifinal of the Aussie Open between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic! Yay, I love tennis!!!!

Back to School! :(

Well, on Monday, I started school again for the year. It's my last year! YAY! :) It's pretty difficult getting back into the swing of things, but I'm getting used to it.
The Christmas Holidays were great, especially over the New Year, while I was staying with a friend for a week. That was lots of fun!
Over the holidays, I also saw a few movies in the cinemas: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Megamind, and Tangled. My favourite is definitely Tangled! It is really funny, and fully worthy of the Disney Princess category! I really enjoyed the music in it too, and I hope to get the piano music book for it!
I made some healthier-than-I-usually-eat muffins the other day, sort of experimenting, and they were quite yummy, so I'll put the recipe up soon.
TTFN,
Ruby

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas all! This post is a little late, but I had to wait until I had eaten enough chocolates to use the wrappers to make the above sign!

Other than Christmas, I have lately been quite obsessed with the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice. I have watched it three times in one week. It is a mini-series, so the whole story takes 5 hours. I am suffering severe withdrawal symptoms. My favourite character is Mr. Darcy.

I have also seen The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I loved it, but people who prefer more faithful renditions of books probably wouldn't like it as much.

I'll be away for a week or so, so I won't be posting til I get back, not that I have been very faithfully posting up til now!

Til next time, then.

Jewellery

I really love making jewellery. I have made plenty of simpler things, but I'll show you some pictures of the things I have made at a course I'm doing. THese are all sterling silver, and the stone in the brooch is an Amethyst.



Hope you like these,
