SPOTTED: Cardboard Stampede

I have decided to add a new blog feature... "SPOTTED", every few days I will share anything cute and original I have found and love with you all. I found this completely randomly on google image search but absolutely love it! It's called 'cardboard stampede' and you can find details on Design Sponge.

Ebay Love

Have been having a lot of fun on ebay recently both buying and selling, here's a little summary of some of my favourite purchases from the last few weeks! I have been really bummed out this holiday as a recurring problem with my vision has returned but some lovely visits from my brother and seeing friends as well as my nice man being sweet, as well as my ebay fun, has made it much less frustrating! Am really loving my giant headphones and blue leather sack bag at the moment... more to share very soon

Blog Redesign

Hello all, I have been having a play with the blog header and have come up with this! Hope you like! Has been pretty wet and rainy today so finally got round to playing with this Polaroid maker! It's so annoyingly fun, and you still have to wait 2 mins for your pictures to develop!! I took a few of a few recent bits and pieces.

The new header anda few new projects were all made possible by my new toy - a super Epsom scanner/photocopier/printer! It's been working very hard over the past few days, so lots more to share soon...

9 Things About Me & New Dress Idea

Hello All

So I have been thinking I need to spend a few of my summer holiday days making a dress or two to get over my clothes making anxiety! I have been reading loads of really cool clothing blogs recently (tavi-thenewgirlintown, streetstylelondon etc) as well as frequenting burda style and although I have been looking SO HARD for a pattern I want to make I cannot see past the weird drawings on the front and work out what the dresses might look like in my fabric on my body :S

To cut a long story short it then just hit me that why bother with all the measuring and drawing, why not use something I love and that fits as a base! So here we go, I am going to turn this:

Into a new strappy sleeved slightly bigger skirted dress in a very cute tiny star very dark deminy blue dress with buttons (I have just learned to do buttonholes so am very excited - it's so easy by the way if you have not tried, but use your own manual, much easier to understand than the webvids I viewed).

I have been putting a lot of time into my other creative things recently (work, food, other hobbies) which I don't share so much here and suddenly thought, why not! I should share, so I made a grid of nine things you may not know about me! Do you have a nine things to share?

I Love Summer Pudding

Got it right this time! So, as well as making odd little chequebook holders I also made my favourite food ever...SUMMER PUDDING!!! It's amazing, if you have not made it look it up NOW although you will have to wait overnight before you can eat it!


Lot's of my family and friends have summer birthdays, so have had loads of fun wrapping, here's my current favourite, the prezzie is a secret though...

My garden even managed to survive our holiday unwatering (must have rained), I love my pretty herbs and my runner beans are so so tall. All for now xxxx

Been too Long

Hello Lovely People

Sorry it has been way to long, somehow the more free time you have the less you want to do anything, do you find that? Anyway have been meaning to put a few things up but my eyesight is being dodgy (getting better now though) and have been on holiday with my lovely family but now I am back and have lots to share, so here goes....

First off, I made myself a chequebook holder, not exactly that functional but very funtional :P

It has actually been so long I forgot to add the pictures first and have made this post impossible to edit, so more above xxxxx
