My Worst Habit.

We all have bad habits and I would say my worst is starting something but never finishing it. Whether it be something little or big. It's not that I'm over the said thing its just I get caught up with something new and flashy. I know, I live life on the edge! ho ho ho. I just like to keep moving and be excited and inspired by new things. However, yes I leave projects half completed BUT I always go back to complete them...it just takes a bit longer than normal.
Two clear examples of this would be a cushion cover and bunting. Both rather simple, well they were until I got a hold of them, but took me longer to complete as life rushes past me!
Tbh, the bunting was me just being lazy as! So here goes..the complete bunting and cushion cover!

I love where I live :) I love cows, they are definitely in my favourite animal list!
Below: is a selection of the materials I used to make the bunting, as the photo didn't make all the materals come out in the best possible way :)

Here is the cushion cover! I decieded, for some unknown reason, to make a simple cushion case extrememly complicated. Now that I've done it, it will be easy to replicate but with the addition of frills and ties...well I nearly gave up. But, I'm proud to say I powered on through!

I'm lucky to have so much material at my disposable its all because I follow in my Mum's footsteps of being a huge hoarder and I will pick up things from everywhere I go. An example of this would be that the above fabrics (within the bunting) the blue Beautix Potter and the Pink Floral are both from Brighton and were picked up on my many travels! I know when I'm old I wil be that crazy woman with too much stuff but at the minute I'm able to reach out and create whatever I want, which makes me extremely lucky and gracious!
Have a small peek at my material collection!

Now I'm off to fend for myself again! Well, not really Kelly says she will bring me Muffins to eat while we play scrabble and drink coffee. Yes, I'm too cool!
Hope everyone is having a good week! xx

Hey Kids!

I've been back from Download for over a week now and it's been so hectic!
The weather has been delicous and every day has been a mini-adventure. I really need to start taking my camera out more, which will be resolved today, even though I don't feel I will get many taken!

Download was amazing! The weather the first couple of days was a bit dire and from that the happiness diminished but come Friday and lo and behold, the sun came out! Many smiles came with it, I can assure you. The bands were amazing and I throughly enjoyed it apart from being waken up to Justin Beiber's teenie weenie? song! What a loser start to the day! Well Justin Beiber plus the copious amounts of planes landing a mere mile away from our tent! (Photo being of Jared the God from 30 Seconds to Mars; he's beautiful but can't sing live. Disappointed but still pretty to look at! Apart from the budgie haircut)

Since I've been back I've caught up with all the washing and other things that need to be done when returning from a trip as well as being out practically every day just because!
When I am at home my life focuses around the Big Bang Theory, Gilmore Girls and toast. Oh what a life, not even a joke!

Oooooo exciting news! I have been given an old Singer Sewing machine which I just adore. I loved it anyway but then I found out it was ELECTRIC and well I've been making everthing ever needed! Even if I don't need it. I have a modern sewing machine as well but using the old Singer makes me feel a big antique-y and just well, its beautiful!

As well as this my Mother asked me to return a dodgy router to a store in Team Valley and well for some reason they gave me cash, so even though it wasn't my money and I know it's wrong, I became super excited and hit TK Maxx, naughty I know but I loveeeee it! I got a new French Connection top and a straw basket (to replace mine that I broke about 3 years ago! a bit late but still!) I decided to make a cover for the straw bag to keep prying eyes and hands from forming attachments with my belongings! It's beautiful and I loves it! (Bag TK Maxx, Material Laura Ashley)

 So overall, even though I've been near silent I've had a wonderful time and a fab start to the summer!
