Always with me..

The 4 month mark is hitting in a couple of days. I've been told that this is the time you become really really homesick and start hating everything about Korea. I can safely say that this hasn't happened yet (touch wood).

Of course I miss my family and friends a ton. I think about you all everyday. I also know that you're all stressing out about the threats from the North but we are still all okay and if anything happens I promise I'll be on the first flight back home or somewhere safer before you can say "Kim Jong Un" (touch wood.. again) 

Besides all the drama, I know its also super cliched to say but I finally feel like I am supposed to be here, like what I'm doing is making a difference and is actually pretty worthwhile. The kids I teach have warmed up to me/ started hating me a little less haha!  and I am seeing results that they are actually learning something from me too:) Its also warming up here so I've decided to stop being a hermit and have finally started exploring Korea a bit more. I'm making some really great friends along the way too.

In saying that, I am still not much without my friends and family back home so I've decided to put you and some of our memories on my wall:) the start of a little diy art project if you will.. 

DIY project: Sticker Art

A little while ago I blogged about these awesome little artworks and illustrations made using stickers and other useless little things here. As I've been a tad bored lately on my days off I thought I would preoccupy myself and take on this little DIY project..

I love the way it turned out. Now to find somewhere to hang it! :)

DIY Inspiration: Sticker Art

Remember the days when we had sticker books, and the more stickers you had the cooler you were? A while ago I came across this homemade artwork on the Lucky Pony blog. A bunch of old stickers turned into something really cool and unique.

A couple of other clever artworks using stickers, sequins, tiny toys, paper clips, coins and other stuff that would be regarded as junk recently caught my eye on Pinterest.

My hoarding has now become a bit of a blessing because I still have my sticker book and all its glory :) Hello DIY sticker art!
