Snow Days ♥

We had the very best snow days last week..it was wonderful!

The days were spent with my favourite people and consisted of yummy lunches, mulled wine, snowy walks, rum hot chocolates and Christmas films..we even squeezed in a bit of dancing :)

I'm getting SO excited about Christmas I really can't wait! It's my turn for the Festive Film Night on Saturday and I'm hoping to have a go at eggnog, I'll let you know how it turns out...

Here are some of my favourite pics from the past week :)

Looking Forward To...


As you may have guessed, it has been an incredibly hard month. Many things have gone wrong and at times it seems difficult to see a way out. I've been lucky in that I've had some truly amazing friends to sort me out ♥ thank you!

In an attempt to find the positive again, I've decided to make a list of things I am looking forward to :) Maybe I can focus on this instead of the bad!

1. Putting up the Christmas tree and decorations
2. Festive Film Festival...the lovely Caketin has come up with this fab idea! All our friends are taking it in turns to host a Christmas film evening :) Mine is going to be Santa Clause The Movie and I'm hoping to make eggnog, mulled wine and Christmas cupcakes...hurrah!
3. My parents moving in to a beautiful old cottage..and getting a dog!
4. Return of craft nights and getting my knit on again :)
5. £10 nights out. I need to dance my socks off and have a bit of fun.
6. Dressmaking. I'm determined to have a go, my mum is going to have to help massively!

There you go, a list of 6 things to look forward to...I don't think that's bad :)
Fairly therapeutic and I recommend doing this when you're having a really rubbish day!

P.s Huuuge thank you to Caketin for sending me the Darwin Deez 'Bad Day' vid I posted last...it helped a lot!

Hello again...

Oh my, it's been a while since I've been on here! Been so busy recently, that when I get home, I don't have the energy to blog but hopefully that will change :)

Had a lovely Christmas with friends and family, they're the best :) A little late, but here is a pic of my lovely tree...I'm about to take it down, boo :(



I have been getting a little crafty (heh) recently and making some of my headbands that I got overly excited about! Here are the two I've made so far:




The top one is my favourite I think :) I have plans for some more vintage 20's flaper inspired ones , musical notes and military (found the cutest rosette the other day!). They only take about 30mins to make and I'm rather in love with them ♥

Went to my first Knitting Club fairly recently and loved it :) Very relaxing and yet ultra quirky and cool! Unfortunately as with many of my projects, I started knitting lots and haven't picked it up in many weeks. However, I need to get my bum in gear, as we're apparently moving onto hats soon and all I've knitted is 6inches of a scarf! A few quiet nights in and I'll get the buzz again :)

Sadly I cannot update with any inspirational pics at the moment, as my right click has broken (beyond annoying!) so I'm going to look out my window again and check for any more snow! I ♥ it!
