QUALIFIED YAYYYYY

So I have done it!  I have become a qualified nail technician in gel nail, gel polish and manicure and pedicure.  I am so pleased with myself.  At 35 years old (almos 36) I never thought I would be starting a new career but here I am.  It is amazing and I am loving it.  Unfortunatly I have an issue where I am allergic to gel that you put on the nails so I have to wear gloves when I have a client.  I won't be giving up, even if it mean contact dermatitus on my hands!  I thought I would post a few pictures of some nails I have done!

CHARIZARD

By far the most complex I have made is the Charizard which required wire and all sorts of jiggling around.  I am so pleased with how it turned out.  this was for a prize for a  Pokemon Go Cornwall competition and over £120 was raised for cancer research which is amazing!  I also have made a little Jigglypuff...another super cute Pokemon!






Mew and Vaporeon

I have always liked Mew and it was great fun to make and very easy.  I love Eevee and all of the evolution it can become but Vaporeon is my most favorite Eevee evoluition




Pikachu

This is a Pikachu I made for a little boy, love Pikachu always found him very cute



Pokemon so far






These are the Pokemon for the first Pokedrop that I did.  It went really well and got a lot of good feedback!










STARTING AGAIN

Some may have noticed that this isn't a new blog but is an old blog I am recycling.  I always seem to have great ideas of starting these things and then I never follow through I never stick to anything I think I know why!  I have been trying to blog about things that are personal and sometimes difficult to write about, and also things that arn't that intresting!  So I have come at this froma new angle and I am going to start this blog about something I love to do ad something that gives me enjoyment and stress relief....CROCHET.  What I hear some people say, crochet is for old people....I will stop you here as crochet is for anyone.  I am 35yrs old and I love it.  I suffer from anxiety and depression and I find that crochet really helps to relieve it all,  it isn't a cure and won't work for everyone but it does work for me.  
I enjoy all types of crochet but I very much enjoy Amigurumi. 
 Amigurumi   is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small, usually cute stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures.

I am currently crocheting a number of Pokemon characters which I hide at Pokestops in my area for people to find!
