27 things to do before I'm 28

Hello people. Seeing as it is my birthday I have decided to take inspiration from this post from a blog I follow and admire and write myself a list of things to do before my next birthday. Each year the list will grow by one number (just like my age will) and keep me on the path of motivation self improvement - hopefully.

So here it is:

Now to pull my finger out and get going..!

Cheerio xx

Inspired: Karin Soderquist

I'd like to share with you some work from an illustrator I recently came across - her stuff is really cool.

 I think the first one is my favourite.


Ok bye xx

valentine yarn craft

This has got to be my favourite valentine inspired craft tutorial yet...

 Find out how to do it here.

Bye for now xx

This week I have mostly been...

It's been a long week, but the weekend's here now and it's an extra long one for me!! Yes I have four whole days off work and I can't wait to fill them with fun.  Anyways, here's a catch-up of what I've been mostly doing this week...

EATING:

Curly Wurly - left over from Christmas again! People can't believe it when I tell them I still have stuff left over.

WATCHING:

 Mad Men - still.  I finished the second series this week.  It's brilliant, I love the characters and plot, and am totally in love with the styling!

LISTENING TO:

 Yeasayer <3

WEARING:

 This hat.

MAKING:

 Granny squares (for a project - I'll show you soon).

I hope your week has been well.  Cheerio for now :) xx

Year of the Rabbit

It's Chinese New Year!! The year of the rabbit.

"People born in the Year of the Rabbit are articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip but are tactful and generally kind".

 Picture one, two, three, four.


Happy new year :D

Robot Notepad

Look at this freaking amazing notepad I found in TK Maxx the other day...

 I love all the little details, like the dots instead of lines and the orange crosses in the corner... I told you I had a thing about stationery (and robots)!!


Ok bye :D xx
 

Wearable Plant Pots

I just came across this and had to share...

 Found on this website.

How cool is that!?  Huh.  Ok bye xx

wishlist: Birthday!!

Hello, and happy February (my birthday month)!  Seeing as it's one week until my birthday I'm doing a special wishlist birthday edition (how many times can I say birthday!?).

Shop Fronts of Sheffield

Hello!  I have one of my pictures posted on the "Shop Fronts of Sheffield" blog.  Take a look here.

They picked this picture (above), but I also took some night shots which I think make the shop look a little bit magical with the dresses all lit up...

...what do you think?  Magic.

Tired...

It's been a tiring day (lots of fresh air will do that to you), so now I'm just chilling with my laptop and a snack :)

Sunday walk

Me and Floyd went for a walk today around our neighbourhood.  We had ourselves a veggie breakfast from the Buddhist Meditation Centre's cafe, and then stopped by one of my favourite furniture shops.

 I fell in love with this chair..!  The picture is a bit blurry but I wanted to share it anyway.

 Then Floyd took me to a spooky cemetery!

 ... and this is what you saw when you looked through the hole:

 We had Michael Jackson's "Thriller" stuck in our head for ages afterwards!!

 Ok, bye for now xx

Spaceman

Say hello to my little spaceman friend.  He was a Christmas present from one of my best buddies and guess what... he can dance!
