Sheffield Soup!

I have applied to take part in Sheffield Soup, the sociable crowd-funding event currently held a few times a year. It sounds like a really interesting concept, it is definitely worth finding more about this if you can: https://sheffieldsoup.wordpress.com/

I would like to get some funding to make my ‘Boob Tent’ to support breastfeeding mothers and to encourage young women to consider ways to feed their future children.

I have developed a design for a collapsible tent, more like a geodesic dome that can be transported to various venues, including parks shopping centres and festivals and would be big enough to fit at least five or six people in comfortably. The size means that this could be used to house a breast feeding support worker along with some comfortable chairs for feeding in good weather, but also for the information displays and such, during bad weather.

It’s been a while

Err, well, i have been a bit rubbish about putting stuff up online. I plan to remedy this in the next week, updating on what I have done for the past nine months, then adding to it as I go along, and progress to the end of my Masters.
Watch this space, if there’s anyone out there!

i am a bit rubbish

Hello world!

err, yes, hello world.

this is my second attempt at blogging. i tried another one, but could never really settle with it. i always fantasise about creating a fantastic, witty, good-looking blog that people flock to. it’s about time i put it in to practice.

writing has never been my forte. i am an actions kind of person. and those who know me know i function best when given a few hours to air my opinions without interruption. obviously, this is not very popular with a lot of people, so maybe this should be the best step forward.

i don’t want to turn this into a blog of verbal diarrhea (which it could very easily become). i am gonna try to be as concise as i can.

i am not going to be falsely modest. i have and hope to continue to make some good stuff and have good ideas. but i also know when something isn’t good. i will be proud of successes and the first one to admit my dodgy attempts at crochet moustaches.

i quite like this, feels like i am writing myself a blog manifesto. might think some more about this.

i am tempted to make an anne frank style pact to write in this every day or twice a week, to make sure i document all progress, physical and mental.

i am going to start off this blog though, by going back a few months, almost to beginning of my current module. a web-based update for those who have been wondering what the hell i have been doing all summer.
