Hello .

I've just put up a new website that I'm kinda giddy about. I'm now the proud inhabitant of www.aoifeodwyer.com.

It's pretty much a portfolio so that I might make a better go of this whole "art" thing I have a tendency towards!

I've also set up a Facebook Page so if you do happen by my site and like my creatives then I could definitely do with a bit of FB support!

Keeping on the art note I'm also working on a tattoo design for a friend of mine which I'm totally excited about because it's a pin up style design, it's not done yet but this was the latest update..



I think it's going ok, still have to finish the shading and colour obviously but considering this is the first time I've really done something like this I think it's going ok so far. I'll update with the finished design when I get it done.

Also...I'm now a bit of a gif addict. Made this...



UPDATE:

Finished version -

Look at my sleepy Mommy circa 1979! I've been playing with some of these awesome old photos of my parents, I found a load of 'em lately....scuts.

My Jennie graduated last week! Yay! So proud of her! She was all modest about it 'cause it's only a Level 5 but it's still an achievement! Plus it led to her getting into Social Science in UCC (next year - she deferred). It was actually a really fun day and I took a bazillion photos of her...cutehead.




Us before we left...

We also stumbled across the lovely events in Cork for the turning on of the Christmas lights! Lots of loverly things about...







I've started a new photo diary/blog thingy too for all these daily photo snippets!

It's called a secret .

My friend Kat(arzyna) invited me and Jen to her new flat to celebrate her moving into said flat with her manfriend with a major Indian(ish) feast! And it was epic. We had all manner of yummy foodstuffs along with a couple of very palatable beverages which included a certain version of tequila sunrise and baileys with milk & crushed iced. Yum.

So I had a birthday last week. I'm 24 now. How fun. It was a bit of a non-event if I'm to be honest but on the plus side I got me a surprise breakfast from my Jen and a flower and my parents took me out to dinner and my friend Tara baked me millions of buns! Yay!

Also as a bonus my buddy Bryans bday is in December but his parents decided to buy him a bunch of Kings of Leon tickets which happened to go on sale on my bday and he managed to nab the last 4 standing tickets going! Uber birthday combo karma sooper dooper-ness! So now I'm going to Kings....for free! I love Bryans bday!

This week I heart . . .

It's been a very tough week...

My lady had to put down her dog. Her name was Flossy and she was a 15 year old border collie. She was her best friend for all those years, listened to all her secrets without judgment and with complete and utter unconditional love. Unfortunately her age got the better of her and she had very advanced breast cancer that was causing her a lot of pain so it was best to put her out of her misery. It's an incredible hard thing to decide to do and to actually go through as any pet owner will appreciate.

On a completely separate note I've designed a date for The Diary Project 2011. I did 28th February cause that's my ladies bday! This is my design:

Oh Joy!

I've got internet again! Woop woop! I was so sad cause I'd just managed to avail of this awesome gift membership and then the free wifi I was mooching from the very nice pub across the road died.

But now I have tv, phone AND sooper dooper fast internet! Yay!

Lola's getting big too!

Hey,

Well I realise I've actually lots of news seems I've been missing for 2 years but stuff that seems very relevent at the moment includes my new kitten Lola who is now 14 weeks old and such a cutehead! I <3 her!

Also I'm taking part in The SCOOP Art Auction & Exhibition in September which I'm really quite excited about! It's a great cause and even though I've only really made a small contribution I'm still really happy to be involved!

The SCOOP Foundation (Save Children Out Of Poverty) is a great charity that are trying to raise €35,000 to build a school in Cambodia!

I've donated a couple of (soon to be very tastefully framed) polaroids that I hope actually get bought and make a few quid towards this cause!

...so yeah, if you happen to be in Dublin on Tuesday September 14th do feel free to stop by the Ormond Wine Bar on Ormond Street for the opening! The exhibition runs until Sunday and then all the awesome artworks will be auctioned off on Sunday the 19th too! So if you're on the market for some artworks it might be worth a visit!

YAY!

Hello there.

So it's been a while but some sweet sweet awesomo anonymo gave me a 3 month membership gift! So thank you so much to you and your most generous fantasticalness! I was only thinking to myself recently that I really was starting to miss this place but I've barely enough moneys for rent these days!!

Anywho that doesn't matter today on this day of epic joyfullness! Today really is a good day, I've got SG back, I'm off until next Thursday and myself and my Jen are going to see Fight Like Apes in Cyprus Avenue tonight to celebrate loving each other long time...5 years long time since yesterday!



So in essence...

YAY!
