02. The time has come to part with a few make up things that I just don't reach for because my storage is overflowing and it's becoming more and more difficult to close the drawers! I'm reminding myself that I only have once face and I don't need so many things. Please have a little look over at my blog sale page here, I'm super open to offers, so please send over an email if you spot anything you would like!
03. I just got my course materials for my latest Open University module, it's called Children's Literature and I am so excited to start, in fact this is the module that encouraged me to sign up to The OU in the first place. Children's books are my absolute favourite; when you're young anything & everything seems to be possible and that's how it should be. Life should be full of magic and imagination, no matter what your age. Perhaps I do spend a little too much time caught up in my own dreams, my own imagination, but I don't think it's a bad thing, even if some people do.
04. I think I'm going to spend the rest of my afternoon looking for pretty stationery to purchase & watching Harry Potter. I actually only saw the final film for the first time last week (I know right, where have I been?!) but now I'm obsessed with it and I feel like I need to watch it over and over again just to catch up!
Are you having a lovely weekend?
I hope so!
xoxo
Good luck with your Children's Literature module, it sounds really good and I can really imagine you writing children's books somehow - you have such a lovely, soothing way with words haha :)

Deleteoh the children's literature module sounds amazing - the precise reasons you wrote are why i enjoy teaching children. they are so eager to soak up knowledge and are fascinated by the simplest things, it's so refreshing and wakes you up to a new perspective. good luck! x

I think you definitely should! xo
DeleteOh, I hope you love this new module Jennie (but I have a feeling you will!). And yes, new stationary is always a very good idea aha, it's nice to have a little pad by your bedside as I often find I get my best ideas at night/when I'm a little sleepy. <3 xxx
ReplyDeleteI think I will too ;) xo
DeleteLoved the catch up post and will take a look at your blog sale page. What OU course are you doing? X
ReplyDeleteI'm doing the English Language & Literature degree :) xo
Deleteooh good luck with uni :) I know someone who is trying to publish their own children stories (and they're getting close!) as well, it's such an beautiful genre. I remember my childhood stories, and I'm such a dreamer as well so I vouch for it being a good thing :P

Ooh that sounds like a really lovely weekend! <3
DeleteA Childrens literature module sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSome of your blog sale bits end up dearer than or equal to buying new when including your postage.
Everything is priced with offers in mind. Most of the higher end things have barely been used, maybe not even touched. And unfortunately postage is very expensive what with recent increases and I like to send everything via a signed-for service because of really bad past experiences. Unfortunately not everyone is particularly honest.
DeleteOoh the children's literature module sounds so amazing! Hope you tell us more about it once you start!

I will do! xo
DeleteChildren's literature seems like it'd be so much fun. -Hanna Lei
ReplyDeleteI hope it will be! xo
DeleteHope you enjoy your module! I'm with the OU too and I'm doing Renaissance Art Reconsidered next. My final module is next September though, so still got a while to go.
ReplyDeleteOoh that sounds really interesting! xo
DeleteHope the Children's Lit is absolutely fab. I did a European fairytale module at university, and even wrote my dissertation on appropriations in modern culture, and it was my favourite thing I ever studied!
ReplyDeletePlease post about it, if you can! I'm super intrigued!

Oh gosh that sounds so interesting! xo
DeleteI study with the OU too! and that module sounds really interesting; far more interesting than the modules I have studied! x
ReplyDeleteAww! xo
DeleteChildren's Literature sounds amazing! Wish we had something similar here. I'm so interedsted in things like that. You could definitely check out Ivana Brlic-Mazuranic, she's croatian children's writer. :)x
ReplyDeleteOoh I absolutely will! xo
DeleteOh I didn't know you study through the OU! I was thinking about doing that, I was meant to start uni last year but deferred as I was expecting Noah. I recently gave up my place altogether as I can't bear to leave him! So am thinking of doing OU instead xx
ReplyDeleteI do really recommend the OU, I've really enjoyed it so far! xo
DeleteThat Children's Literature course sounds exciting! I'm glad that you're pursuing something that you're interested in and that you have a passion for. Often the hardest part is just committing to making a change or embarking on something new - I hope that the course engages you and gives you some inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! xo
DeleteA children's literature module sounds wonderful. I didn't know you were studying with the OU. What course are you doing? I have contemplated doing another degree myself... where I think I have the time or motivation to do this I really don't know, but the more I reflect on what I did at uni the more I wish I had chosen a different subject or waited a couple of years before going. Oh the joys of hindsight.
ReplyDeleteJenny | sunny sweet pea xx
I'm studying for the English Lang & lit degree. Highly recommend the OU, they're incredibly supportive and there's so much choice! xo
DeleteGood luck with your next module! I'm finally finished with mine!
ReplyDeleteAww yay! xo
DeleteThe OU course sounds so good! Keep us all updated with how it goes :) xxx
ReplyDeleteI will do! Xo
