Happy Sunday

I promised myself that I was going to post almost everyday...HMMM....
Very difficult I must say. Cos right now I don't know what to talk about.
Okay I am working on my fourth novel:
Its basically a marriage of convenience story. I have always been in love with novels that have begin with arranged marriages, so I decided to write about one.
In my book I will like the lady to be plain, a little bit chubby and not a very confident person. She isn't the hero's speck it you know what I mean, but she is the practical one for the job. She will fit the profile very well.

What do you think? should the heroine be plain or pretty?

I want to add a little suspense to this work just like sandra browns books.

The problem is that It also have to deal with the fact that the nigerian police isn't like the FBI's and the CIA's so how do I write a story that is convincing and also real, to my Nigerian readers especially.
What do you think?
Should I make the nigeria police what they are not or should I look for another plot.
lASTY do you think this book will be worth your read?

And yes I just remembered in the Frankfurt airport I went to a book stand looking for books in french, to my disappointment I didn't find it.. But what struck me was that the only african author I saw was " Chike and the River", by Chinua Achebe and he is Nigerian, I was impressed.
But I think we need a lot more Nigerian and AFRICAN writers with their books translated in different languages and in almost all the bookshops in the world...

Anyways just let me know what u think about my little plot. If you want more details I will be more that happy to help.
Take care of yourself babes and have a lovely new week.

Vacation

hello guys so sorry I have neglected you all. Will try not again.
Anyways part of the reason I don't post regularly is cos of my new look on blogsville.
I am finding it hard to maneuver my way through all this.
I don't even know where the new post is located, the comments section is another problem for me.
Hmm this is so bad, but I will get around to it, I am sure I will.
Anyways just to say I am on a vacation with my darling Temi. We are going to be gone for 2 and a half months in The U.S. OF A..
Don't worry guys will gist you everything about my romantic journey so far..loll.

Anyways one of the things I love most about traveling with Temi is that he takes care of everything. When I say everything I mean everything. In fact I just sleep and know that he's got my back. from making sure I have eaten to sleeping right and just plain making sure I am having fun.
Really nice, don't you think. In fact I feel like a baby. Hmm I am in love again..Lol.
Oh well anyways I hope you all have fun this weekend and just let me know what's up with you.
Do have a lovely day and will definitely keep in touch.

Hello

Hello everyone.
I had this picture taken almost two weeks ago but I had been so busy thats y it is coming up now..so sorry.
This is what happened two wednesdays ago, cos of the rain on my way to ikeja.
I was shocked.
Thank God it is an office complex and nobody was there when the rain fell.
This shouldn't happen if we have good building inspections".
I can't even imagine what it would have been like if there were people living in this building.

Anyways just saying hi and thank you all for your comments on my bag and my wedding anniversary post..

A second bag coming soon...

My Very Own Bag

Hi peeps
this bag project is what has stolen me from you guys but I have resolved that this will not be the case any more.
Anyways this clutch bag is my work. The design is actually my teacher's but I made this.
If you look closely you will find out that there are a lot of mistakes and I still have a long way to go but I am so proud of the bag and I go every where with it even though it doesn't go well with my outfit, I don't care. I just take it with me. Like a proud parent showcasing the good child.

Anyways like I have promised, even though I do not have the time to post everyday I will not leave blogsville this long again.

I am off to cuddle and continue my anniversary celebration.
just let me know what you think, about the bag.

Do take care and have a lovely day.

N.P: " i am saying a big thank you to Zainab of zouzoumusings for checking up on me... she was worried i hadnt posted in a long while... thank you dear i really appreciate.

Happy Anniversary To Me

Meeeen!!!!! time flies when marriage is sweet I must say.
Anyways just take care of yourselves and check out my next post on my bag.

Do take care and have a lovely day.

I AM BACK

Hello everyone.
Its been a while I have posted and even commented on the blogs I follow. Pele.. I have just been busy I now have a 9 to 5 job.. LOL... (I mean my bag making lessons).

Its been taking a lot of my time. I leave the house very early and then I get how late. Men!!!! I don't know how women do this, saddled with kids and a husband to look after, day in day out. They sure try. I can't do this for long, I will surely collapse. I now know why I am a big campaigner of BYOB (Be your own Boss).

Anyways in a few days I will upload the picture of my first bag. Its shabby though but I am so in love with it, cos it just shows that there is no turning back.

Also, over time my ideology about bags have really changed. They are delicate and need a lot of time in other for you to get it right. This I am learning and loving it.

So how r u guys?
how has the weekend been?
For me I have been trying to sort myself out.
I had to go to the market in the rain... "Christ it was so disgusting". But what could I do. I had left Temi foodless for over a week. Need to redeem myself before I am sent back to my parents house..(loll).

Anyways do take care of yourself and have a lovely weekend.

P.S. " Saying a big welcome to my new followers. Also just to warn you that I think my blog has a new design. I have been tampering with it again. I am not sure. The thing I hate the most bout this new look is that I may not be able to see my followers again... that's so bad...
Hmm will see what can be done.

Anyways take care of yourself once again.

Ciao

Determination Needed ASAP

Hi guys...
Today, like my friend just said I have grown 5 years older.
Life isn't easy at all.

Okay rewind.. pause... Why am I lamenting?

Today I really , really, started my handbag journey and I must say that it is not easy at all. Did I actually think that the construction of a handbag was so easy...I was so wrong... I must have been dreaming... Or maybe in wonderland...

It's so difficult and very detailed. You have to be able to envision, draw, construct, and be so detailed about your work of art.

Yepa!!!!!! You must have determination if not you will just run away.
Is there anything in this life that is easy... haba...

Anyways in my lamentation I remembered this song I used to sing as a little child. " with Jesus and determination I will do my best".

This is my motto from now on and I am sure I will do my best.

Right now I have hushed my month about being a bag maker, till I am perfect.. loll..

Anyways thank you Amina you are a darling and God sent.

Do have a good night's rest and remember " with Jesus and determination you can do your best".

Ciao
