Bookmarks, Book Quotes & Bob The Street Cat

Happy Sunday - I hope you have all had a lovely Easter!

I don't know about you but I think I celebrated too hard - I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to eat chocolate again!!!!

I have returned to work full-time this week so as predicted, my updates and activities have been reduced dramatically, and I apologise for that. I hope to be back more permanently as I adjust to this. Well at least until I return to my other job (potentially mid-April) when I usually work 7 days a week. I have prepared a blog post about this on Wednesday which is scheduled to be posted next week.

This weeks updates on my site:

• If you haven't already checked it out, I have created a new page on my website - Cloud's Silver Linings Designs. This is where all my digital designs are shared. Other digital images and image manipulations will be there too!

• 3 concert photography photos in StormCloud Photography (of Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes from the Kerrang! Tour),

• 1 blog post of a crafting project in Cloud's Silver Linings (Deadpool frame in the Other Crafting Projects section),

• 6 Cloud's Silver Linings Designs - Photography Designs (found in the Cloud's Silver Linings Designs tab!!!)

• 5 book reviews in My Books & Reviews - A collection of these can be seen at the bottom of this blog update, however reviews are all attached to the photos on the webpage. The books shared this week mark the first few books I read in March.

  • 2 of the photos shared this week has some quote designs created by myself. These can be seen on the original Instagram post, the links to the posts are shared below.

My personal update:

• Since the last update, I have read 3 book.

• My current read is The Goodbye Gift by Amanda Brooke.

• My book quote design pieces this week have been shared on my Bookstagram. If you haven't already seen them, you can check them out here:

  • Brighid's Quest : photos 3-9 - LostInABook (@notanotheremptyskull) • Instagram photos and videos

  • A Street Cat Named Bob: photos 3-4 - LostInABook (@notanotheremptyskull) • Instagram photos and videos

  • Room: photos 3-4 - LostInABook (@notanotheremptyskull) • Instagram photos and videos

• My next book quote designs will be shared next week, with the first one being uploaded in tomorrow's (Monday's) bookstagram post!

• You remember the Embroidery project I mentioned in the last couple of updates that I had been hoping to start this week? Well not only did I start it yesterday (Saturday), but I finished it too! I can't wait to share it with you soon!!!

• I finished Glitch probably about 20minutes after posting the last update. Please don't ask me why I didn't wait to post the update after I had finished it (probably because that would have been the sensible thing to do and I'm not all that sensible sometimes). I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought the ending was worked so well.

• I have also come to the end of the Cobra Kai seasons on Netflix this week. After being unsure if I would enjoy the show, I really did, and I hope we don't have to wait too long for the next season!!

• I have just started watching H20 Just Add Water. It's not my usual kind of thing but I love Phoebe Tonkin and Claire Holt in The Vampire Diaries (among other programs) and I felt like starting an easy-watching program after all the other programs I've been watching, as well as the book themes. It also helps that the episodes are short (less than half an hour each), so I can watch them even though I have limited time to do so at the moment.

• I am still working out daily and I feel so much better in myself. I don't have as much time to work out for as much as I was working out for before I returned to work, however I am managing to do at least 40 minutes a day which is better than I expected.

• For weeks I have been mentioning an exciting new update and for one reason or another I have been pushing back mentioning it (due to delays in the update). Now I can finally mention it here. Over the last few weeks, I have been creating bookmark designs as part of my digital designs I've been working on. These have included my photography work, book quotes and more. And I have FINALLY got a few of my designs printed!! They are now actual bookmarks!! I will be sharing photos of them in either this weeks or next weeks Blog Craft update. I am beyond excited to finally share them!!!
