It’s True

On St Patrick’s Day, everyone is Irish for the day. We love making St Patrick’s Day badges. They have the best slogans & we know they are being shipped round the world to be worn by people who are going to PARTY!

Friday i’m in love

We had a busy (non badgeing day) yesterday, which is quite a novelty for us as we seem to have been workinf 7 days a week for ages. So we went to Manchester with a couple of friends to watch Metallica yesterday, we had a great day. We managed to fit in seeing the Leonardo da Vinci exhibition at the Manchester Art Gallery. Its a collection of 10 Drawings from the Royal Families private collection. It was quite something. Really glad we got to see it, as last time we were in Manchester we were a dasy early & it didn’t open until the 14th Feb… Doh!

We had a lovely meal at my fave noodle bar Wagamama. I simply can’t get enough of that place & it was our frinds first vist & i think i have converted to more fans! Then what can i say about Metallica, what a show! They played some truly classic old school songs & a few new ones. Thier stage & light show rocked. The crowd were really there to have a good time & yes i rocked hard. The ratio of men to women was crazy & that meant for once the ladies bathroom was empity, no queue for the loo!!!! The men on the other hand were queueing out the door, quite a sight.

So now it’s Friday & thats come round super quick. I love Friday! Hope you all have a fab weekend.

Eye Candy

A little bit of what has been going on at koolbadges this weekend. Is it Monday already!

Oh & Valkyrie was great, i recommend it! It’s a story not often told, about those that opposed Hitler and his views. I give it an 7.5 / 10

Keep me away from the pancakes

Yes its official i have outdone myself & toally pigged out on pancakes this weekend. I am to be kept as far away from the pancake mixture, lemons, sugar & maple syrup as id humanly possible. Its for my own good.

John & i have had a quiet weekend, just pottering around the house sorting out some old magazines and paperwork. I am getting things in order for when we move. I seem to have a fear of having too much clutter. I am sure i have spoke about this before. I hate having unessacary clutter & bits and bobs that people give for (often as gifts) that you do not want but have to find a suitable spot in your house for. For me thats the bin. I try and keep all the lovely things (sometimes not so lovely), but they stress me out & they have to go. At first in a draw then eventually in the bin. Everytime we move & thats alot i have to scale down our belongings get rid of things i haven’t used. Am i mad or do you do the same?

I finished Fast Food Nation, i know I am late in getting round to reading it. WOW i am not sure i shall be eating at low end fast food places anymore (not that we are frequant visitors to them). It makes you think about the price of your burger and what they put in it. I have started a slightly more lighthearted book, The Promise of Happiness. I seem to be reading books at a rate of one every 2/3 days. I read them then either give them to John or send them to my mum or my friend Emma. I believe in passing good books on.

We are just about to watch Valkyrie, hope it’s good as i do not normally like Tom Cruise.
I will leave you with some St Patrick’s Day badges we made on Friday for a lady in New Zealand.

Pancakes & Books

I have been eating my weight in pancakes these past few days & pancake day isn’t even upon us. I love love love them, drowned in fresh lemon juice with fresh stawberries on the side. YUM
Ok so i am not very good at flipping them over, hence it looks a little bashed.

When i was out & about in the big city i came accross these cute Penguin branded products. I love it very old school indeed.

Part of me (a big part) wishes i bought some of this gorgoeous stationary from the new Orla Kiely Stationery Collection

Ok i am so ready for the weekend. I have been making badges like a machine.

We are here

We haven’t gone AWOL (although i’d like to). We are just pushing on with orders koolbadges is going from strength to strength. I have a million & one badge pictures to add to the blog but have been Very LAzy on uploading them this past week. So all i can say for now is … its almost the weekend. x
I am addicted to this Blog Le Love. This image is from there.

Make it out Alive

So ok today i am simply moving at a snails pace, it does not help that i am sinking in a sea of badges in different states of done. Half cut out, printed, made & waiting to be posted. I just can seem to get anything finished. I have made myself THE biggest cup of sweet tea ever seen & i may sneek a chocolate biscuit & dunk it too.

What i really want to be doing is reading, but that will just have to wait. Oh me & my yummy husband (yes i can call him that) watched MILK the other night. I had no idea of this story, but adore Sean Penn. It did not disappoint it was a story very well told. Highly recommended.

Hope you’re having a more productive Tuesday than me.
