First attempt at making a video... failed

Today I got all excited and ready to make a ukulele video. I guess I should've known that a lot of practice needs to go into playing and singing at the same time. Also my video camera isn't being very nice, it doesn't want to be found by my computer. So I tried to record with my phone camera, how silly! Anyway it was fun preparing for it and getting my songs ready. I shall practice a lot more and then try again.

Oh no, more options...

So I found a new website with a whole lot more ukulele tabs. Then I also realized that you can do guitar ones as well but obviously play it in the ukulele chords. So I have a lot more options now.
Like my brothers said, I should pick one song and stick to it until I get it 100%, that makes sense. But I guess I'm trying to find the best song for me to play. There's a lot of cool ones but I'd like one that comes the most natural to me. So I'm working on that.
So this week ahead will be filled with me attempting to finally play (and sing) eeek! A whole song. Also I need to start thinking about making things that could sell for the next markets. I've been toying with the idea of having a clearance sale and just giving up on that for now.
I'd like to say I'll give it up for a real job but that's not as easy as it sounds. I think I'm quite keen to leave this place. I love it here but it just seems so much more difficult to actually live here. If my family wanted to, I'd be happy to leave tomorrow. Anyway, for the time being I'm happy just doing what I do.

My little zombie that I need to re-create. 

 

 

 

 

 

Awesome day

Hey everyone!

This week has been really nice and chilled. Tomorrow I don't have a market to go to and sell at for the first time in a while. So my Saturday can be nice and chilled. We rented X-men and got KFC and we're going to have the yummiest ice cream sundaes. I kinda love my quiet little life :)

I'm excited, my friend found her grandfather's ukulele and now we can ukulele together! :D

Oh also I didn't end up doing a video today, I'm sure I'll do one on Monday.

Ukulele Covers

So I really want to do a ukulele cover now and perhaps put it on 'the youtube'
I'm deciding which one to do first. Here is my little list of options;
Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Bubbly - Colbie Caillat
The song from the Blue Valentine attraction
Such Great Heights - The Iron and Wine version.
Follow you into the Dark - Deathcab for Cutie.

Hmm, I don't which one. I'm going to try it out tomorrow. Fingers crossed I can actually sing :p

Me, Mimi and Uki,

Awesome song my brother made

Brown Sugars
Click the link above to hear it. It's 'witch house.' Really cool, have a listen and comment on it :)

Monster High

 

I've become somewhat addicted to Monster High. If you haven't watched any of the webisodes and you've got some free time; it's a whole lot of fun. This is the first episode. There's about 80 or so episodes so far. And I couldn't resist getting a Ghoulia doll. She's in her blood splattered jammies and she's eating brain puffs! I love it! I'm pretty sure she's not the last one I'm gonna get... what? I love collecting toys! :)

My ukulele

It doesn't have a name yet. I know, that's disgusting! I had intentions of calling it 'Elvis' or 'Mahalo' but I found myself forever calling it 'Uki' so I've kind of stuck with that.

Anyway its so fun! I started out thinking that non-hawaiin people playing ukuleles were just down right silly. But I started warming up to the idea of being one of those silly people. I saw that the music store had one for cheap and one day I saw they had a pink one for even cheaper! I decided that I had to have it! So I made a bit of money and I marched in there, my mom demanded a discount and I got my pretty pink uki for only R200!

So I'm not talented in the instrument department at all. I've tried to play other things but I'm just not that way inclined. But to my wondrous surprise the ukulele seems easier to me. Maybe it's just because I've never been more interested in learning to play other instruments before.

Here's a picture of Uki.

So I'm learning to play slowly but quicker than I thought I would. So you can maybe possibly expect a video soon? I dunno. I'll see if I can pluck up the courage to do it.

Hello again

Hey everyone!
So I've been really busy with the other blog but sometimes it's nice just to have something that's not all business.

As you can see I changed my blog a little, the colours and some pictures. This blog is no longer in denial about being a blog for my baking and stuff. It tried and it failed. So this is now just my outright personal blog.

Currently I'm obsessed with my ukulele, so you better believe there's going to be a lot of new posts about that. I wanted to add a uki post in here but it deserves its own post.

So that's all for right now.
