10 days til Christmas!

We don't have a tree, but I wanted some festive decoration in our home for Christmas.  So I decided to decorate our living room window myself and have two trees!  I took a whole day to do plus some preparation and editing but was worth it.

I used Posca markers to draw on the glass because they're opaque and they will scrub off no trouble.

The music is from Sufjan Stevens' new Christmas album called Silver and Gold.  It's very festive and a bit weird, but brilliant. (And would make a great gift for a Sufjan fan!)

I have made a few attempts to produce a video, but this time I swore I would post it no matter how it turned out.  So here goes...

And Merry Christmas!




PS. I don't usually move around like a fully caffeinated ant.

If You Love Me by BenZel & Jessie Ware

I'm so pleased to have been involved in the making of this awesome video for "If You Love Me".  The track is a 90s gem by Brownstone, reworked by producers BenZel and featuring the beautiful vocal talents of Ms Jessie Ware.




The video was produced by Studio Moross, where I helped out creating and filming some of the visual effects used.  We turned the studio into a Laboratory and made a mess with all sorts of miscible and immiscible liquids.  Yeah, I still remember a few things from my school Science lessons.

Dead Air

Hi y'all!

I have been super busy moving house, redecorating and living in semi-unpacked chaos; dealing with plasterers, electricians, carpenters, the council; receiving a million deliveries from online shopping and driving a van round to B&Q, Ikea, all sorts.  This is mine and Josh's first purchase in the property world and we have big plans and high standards (which equals a butt-load of work).  There's still plenty to do, but we're getting there.  We haven't even started on the garden, which will be an epic task in itself.

I have located my laptop, tablet and a chair to work from, and have done enough nesting to feel like I can start getting back to work.  Plus my hands and nails are wrecked from all the manual labour, they are longing to get back to the drawing board where they belong.

I will do a proper before and after with the estate agent's photos when it's a bit more finished, but for now there are a few pics below.


Sold!  To us! (it's the lower-ground floor)

My motivational lunch box: to help me with the cleaning and painting 

The flat came with built-in shutters; handy for protection against rioting
