Introducing my new project

You don't know how hard it is to not sing 'popular' from Wicked after this title. Anyways, I have exciting news. It's my 21st in June and all my original plans have had to be scrapped, well, postponed, due to my health. No worries though, I have more manageable ideas which are closer to home, in fact, in my home.

Today I purchased my first 21st birthday present. It's something not many people would probably want on their 21st birthday, but I can't wait. It's going to give me a little bit more freedom, my own space and a place where I can have friends over to chill out. Guess what it is yet? A summerhouse.

My summerhouse is a bit different mind. Its going to be more of a mini home. I'm getting it insulated, with double glazing, plastered and with electricity. I'm ever so excited. I think I'll be camping out there a lot. It's getting built, from scratch, to my custom requirements in 3-4 weeks. 

This is the one I'm getting. A nice, spacious 10x8ft size. In these colours too! The inside, as I said, will be plastered and I'm going to have it painted neutral colours. I'll also have a nice light in, a heater (a must have for me!) and I'm going to buy a sofa bed too. I'm probably most excited about making the inside 'my own'. I'm going to put some of my own art in, comfy knitted throws and things to make it nice and homely. Most importantly, it's going to be a place I can put my ipod on & chill. I'm hoping to make it my art/music haven and no doubt my guitar will be featuring in here too!

So with this summer house, I'm planning on having a small garden party which will be a kind of 'house warming'. I'll blog about ideas for this and for my summer house to keep you all updated.

Before I go, here's a little doodle I did this morning, which is totally relevant.
