This morning post is a little but different, no outfit post this Saturday. I was sent this lovely little box from the girls at crafty creatives to celebrate their first Birthday in July. Unfortunately life got in the way and I only got a chance to experiment with it last weekend. Hidden inside is a selection of craft materials to inspire your creative side. They … Continue reading She Left Me Roses by the Stairs
The maxi skirt is one of the must haves this summer. They are absolutely everywhere just now. I’m loving all the patterns available. They are pretty versatile and you can style them up or down easily. The only problem I have is with 34inch legs, I know I shouldn’t complain, it can be hard sometimes to find one long enough. I figured I could make … Continue reading All I Really Want
Bank holiday weekend rolls round again, don’t you just love May. The sun is shining which for Glasgow is some kind of miracle! This is a weekend to be spent in beer gardens, having BBQ’s and long walks with Seb. Unfortunately we have no BBQ so that’s out, we took Seb and monster walk yesterday and then had homemade burgers instead. Today is the Scottish … Continue reading Let the Sun Shine

I’m inspired and I’m going to buy some patterns etc … Continue reading Don’t even need to buy a new dress
No wed-nails-day today because the roses are still in tact. After saying I wasn’t too happy with them last week I love them now. I’ve got a little DIY for you instead. I love this top, I think it’s a fun way to add a little something to a plain vest. I followed for the most part a tutorial I found from Laura over at … Continue reading Zip-a-Dee-Do-Dah
I’m embarrassed to admit I have no wed-nails-day post for today. I could dig an old nails photo out but doing that two weeks in a row is just cheating right? I normally do my nails at some point over the weekend. This weekend though I was away boarding, on Saturday, as you may have seen. On Sunday I was being all domesticated tidying, shopping … Continue reading Free as a Bird
Last night I was feeling creative and had some spare time on my hands. I decided to finish off a dress I had started ages ago. I didn’t take any pictures to start with so you’ll have to bear with me, you may recall my diagrams aren’t the best! It’s really simple dress to make and only really takes about an hour, I had issues … Continue reading I would go out tonight, but i haven’t got a stitch to wear
