Spring list


At this point in the Southern Hemisphere we are going into (natural) Spring! The weather is warming up, the cherry blossoms are coming out and school finished yesterday so I decided to come up with a list of activities I plan to do in the holidays and Spring more in general.

1. Drawing
I'm terrible at drawing but I am determined to get better and draw anyway. Lately I have found lots of inspiration on Instagram particularly of Disney fanart accounts and I would like to be able to draw ( obviously not to the standard of some of those accounts) but something to an extent which you would be able to make out what it is actually supposed to be. If I am successful I will post pictures.


2. Floriade
Floriade is a flower festival held in Canberra ( which I will be posting more on later in the week) its hard to explain because it is about more than just the flowers, there are shops, roaming entertainment and other activities and best of all its free! I plan to go a couple of times throughout the holidays.


3. Write
As I have said before at some point in the future I would like to have a career that involves writing, so I would like to get some practice not just writing stories but also experimenting with other forms of writing like script writing and song writing. On top of that I will also try to post as often as possible on this blog in the next two weeks. I also have an English creative due the first week of next term so my holidays will definitely be filled with lots of writing!

4.  Craft
I'm not quite sure what type of craft exactly but whatever I can find the resources to do and can figure out how to do. Last holidays I tried making miniature food items with my cousin out of clay and I was ok at that so I would like to try something unique. If you have any suggestions feel free to comment.



5. Cupcake/cake decorating
I have made a few batches of cupcakes recently but haven't had the time and resources to actually decorate them. The last time I decorated cupcakes was for the RSPCA cupcake day last month and the last time I decorated a cake was for a show in February.

6. Photography
By photography I mean taking photos using my iphone not a fancy camera. I have a talent of taking the worst pictures using my phone. I may not have the best camera but I would still like to attempt to take good pictures which hopefully I can incorporate in future posts.


7.  Spend more time with my dog.
 Over the Winter I have neglected spending time playing with my dog and only really spent time with her at night but with the weather warming up I can hopefully spend more time with her outside.

8. Bike rides
I haven't ridden my bike sadly for all of this Winter so I hope to ride my bike down to my local lake which is lined with deciduous trees which in Spring are full of peach blossoms which makes the atmosphere very nice.

9. Dance
I have learnt so many different dance routines over the last term that I would like to just dance without a purpose without having to do set steps. We also have a task where we have to come up with a dance based on a musical ( my group is doing Matilda) next term so I will try and come up with some ideas for that.

This picture is kind of  misleading because I'm not actually allowed to use my pointe shoes ( its a long story).

10. Juggling
Another one of my hobbies and I got inspired by watching some street jugglers last night to try new tricks and juggling different stuff like clubs. At the moment I can only juggle three balls and two in one hand.  I know that these tricks can take ages to master but when I first learnt how to juggle I was so determined that I spent about three hours straight throwing three balls up and only catching them half of the time. I don't think I have ever been so determined to accomplish something in my life (which is kinda sad). Along with this I would also like to practice some more magic tricks, I have several kits of different stuff (which I haven't touched in years).

What are you planning to do this Spring/ Autumn/ fall?

Blog under maintenance


Hi again,

Sorry it has been a while I have been so busy with assessments lately that i have been finding it hard to have time to post ( I will be posting my Liebster award sometime in the next couple of weeks). On top of these assessments I have also had a dance performance, a music performance and Tournament of the Minds so it has been a busy couple of weeks. Term 3 of school finishes at the end of next week so i plan to spend some of my holidays working on my blog and improving it.

Which brings me to my next point, my current design of my blog is basic and lacks originality so during this time I will be experimenting to create something more interesting and unique which reflects the overall style of my blog. I have come to this decision after looking through many blogs and seeing that most appear to have personalized buttons ( I still don't know how to make these so if you have any suggestions for what my blog should look like or how to actually make a blog feel free to comment) and widgets and themes that have a personal flare. As some of you might be aware I have also been having formatting issues that I have been trying to fix (I have taken note of your suggestions and have started using chrome).

If you have any suggestions and ideas about how to improve my blog feel free to leave a comment :)

Sorry for the boring post I promise more interesting posts are to come.

Does anyone know how to fix formatting issues

Sorry, like the title suggests this isn't a very exciting post so feel free to skip it, but I would really appreciate some help if you know anything about Blogger and how to fix the issues I have been experiencing.


Basically I have been experiencing several issues including the following:


1. Whenever I try to upload photos the screen freezes and I have to close the page down


2. Some of my pictures are disappearing when I edit pages yet seem to move when I attempt to click on things with my mouse.


3. I have been getting some rather weird spacing which DOESN'T appear when I edit the page.


Your Help would be really appreciated so please comment if you know anything about these issues.


Thanks,
P.S now that I have finished most of my assessment I promise I will attempt to post more.

Winter (Summer) rewind

Hey sorry that it's been a long time since I have posted anything I've had a stressful couple of weeks.


So I'm sure a lot of you have heard of the Summer rewind to mark the end of Summer in the Northern hemisphere, but due to living in Australia and Spring starting here instead I'm doing the Winter rewind.
Thanks J from The Journeys' of my beating Heart for nominating this!!!!



The rules include:
1. Thank the person(s) who tagged you.

2. Post about five to eight things that you did over the summer or upcoming in your summer schedule!* Pictures are optional.
4. Answer the ten summer/fall questions given to you.
6. Tag 5 or more bloggers and tell them by commenting on their blog.
5. Ask ten new summer/fall related questions.
7. Share the banner above when you publish the post and credit the photo and the tag origin (http://theworldthroughmywindowsill.blogspot.com/). 

Things I did this Winter:
1. I went on a plane by myself for the first time! I went to the Gold Coast to visit my cousins and we went to some of the theme parks, watched Harry Potter movies, made paper mache (for absolutely no reason), made miniature clay charms and even got to swim at the Beach (and it wasn't freezing)!


2. I participated in Tournament of Minds an Australian competition done in Teams and my team made it to the regional final for language literature which is in two weeks!

3. I completed the KUMON English programme. Not exactly the most exciting thing, but I started in December last year and managed to finish by the end of August which makes me feel like I achieved

something.
4. I made lots of cakes. I even decorated some as dogs and sold them for RSPCA cake day

5.  I wore my two onesies a lot. One of them is Hello Kitty and the other one is a minion one.

The questions I was set:
1.What is your greatest achievement over the winter ?
Probably completing the KUMON English programme.
2) Sneakers or Flats?
3) Do you tan or burn?
Burn... unfortunately I have extremely pale skin so have never tanned :(
4) Cycling or strolling?
It depends... I like to walk around my local lake juggling sometimes when I just want to relax but I also sometimes enjoy cycling when I feel like spending some energy.

5) What is something you've learnt over the winter?
To Never ask your parents for help on studying/ an assignment on a topic they know a lot about, I learnt this mainly through my friend who learnt the hard way when asking her dad about how the immune system worked. He told her that it would take 5 years to explain (and he was not kidding).

6) Favourite song ?
"Shake it off" by Taylor Swift
8) What do you look forward to doing the next winter ?
Next Winter is so far away instead I am focusing on Spring which includes Floriade which is Australia's flower festival which has lots of stalls and activities.

9)How much have you read over the Summer?
Not that much except To Kill A Mockingbird for school.
10) What is the favourite picture you took this summer/ fall/ winter/ autumn ?



I took this picture here on a beach on the Gold Coast and had to write "Do you wanna build a snowman several times before actually getting a nice picture. I haven't taken that many interesting pictures lately and I suppose I love the good memories it brings me and the irony ( who doesn't make snowmen on the beach?)
















Sorry for the bad image quality.


















And my questions are:


1.What was your most memorable moment during Summer/ Winter?
2. What was your favourite movie you watched over the Summer/Winter?
3. Where would you have liked to spent your Summer/Winter?
4. Do you prefer beaches or snow?
5. How much did you read over Summer/Winter what were some of the books you read?
6. What are some of the main activities you did during the Summer/Winter?
7. If you could do this Summer/ Winter over what would you change?
8. If someone asked you about your Summer/Winter what are 5 words you would use to describe your time?
9. Would you rather have Summer during June-August ( Northern Hemisphere) or December- Feburary ( Southern hemisphere)?
10. What sports did you play over the Summer/ Winter?
