Fashion . Food . Creativity
There has been quite a bit happening around me at the moment.
Firstly.
Andrew was once again interviewed by the news paper and appeared on page two on Monday. he was portrayed as an eager uni student but in reality was not overly interested at what coarse he was accepted in to and only looked up the coarse details yesterday when questioned what the study entailed.

University offers are sent out across the state today and the Ballarat Secondary College dux will be tinkering on his car as he anticipates the mail.
Mr Bennett is hopeful of working in the music and sound industry or completing an engineering or electronic degree.
He has applied at Victoria University, RMIT and Swinburne but a number of his offers will rely on his application rather than his impressive ENTER score of 93.35.
"My first preference isn't based on my ENTER score, there is an application process," Mr Bennett said.
"It was this huge application that asks you everything about yourself.
"Why you want that course and what you hope to achieve in it."
His school mates will also be sitting by the mailbox, a number hoping for scholarships or having received grants.
"(Scholarships) opened a few weeks ago and they have all been filling forms in," Mr Bennett said.
"A few got grants just after the ENTER scores were released, so I'm sure they will be waiting eagerly."
Mr Bennett already has a mountain of achievement.
He has recently attended a Salvation Army camp focusing on social justice as well as keeping himself busy working on his 1978 Leyland Mini.
"I have just focused on relaxing and trying to wind down," he said.
"I think I will take a year of, my next aim is to raise $500,000 to give to charity.
"I am involved with sponsoring a group in Sydney called Urban Neighbours of Hope and keen on supporting them.
"You help people in rough suburbs who are part of a struggling community."
Mr Bennett is also eager to keep ticking off his life's ambitions.
"I have a car, so now maybe a house and shares but there needs to be a lot of research in that," hes said.
* University offers will be available online from 6.30pm through The Courier website at www.thecourier.com.au.
Secondly.
I have been taking steps to start out my t-shirt and custom design fashion business.
-I have registered for an ABN and such documentation.
- designed and purchased business cards and return address labels.
- Purchased an air brush and fabric paints.
- purchased sample t-shirts to practice on and give to family members. and no they do not get a choice, yet will accept the gifs with open arms and optimism.
