Merry Christmas Everyone!

Merry Christmas Lovelies!

Thank you for reading my little blog for the last year! I wish everyone of you a happy Christmas and a wonderful new year!

The site will mostly not be updated over the festive season, but should return to it's usual scheduling in January - for more updates you can check out the facebook page here , twitter here or instagram here!

But now for a super fun and amazing announcement! The site is getting a total make over with new logo, layout and formatting! This will most likely be implemented before January! This is something I've been wanting to do for awhile and I'm very excited that I can now make it happen!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Crochet Presents!

Hello Lovelies!

I've been super busy recently creating some lovely presents for Christmas! I recently taught myself to crochet using a magazine! This is a big thing for me as I've tried soooo many times to crochet and failed miserably (not quite as bad as my attempts at knitting though which always end up triangular!)

The great thing about crochet is once you get the hang of it you can make things pretty quickly - it took me a little while to get used to the double crochet stitch - I still haven't quite got the idea of reading a pattern or other stitches yet but I'm really happy I can do this now!

I started off making a few very boring, single colour scarves to practice the stitch. I then tried making a single colour snood and following the success of that I tried out a purple snood for my beautiful friend in America to go in her present box.

Then I tried making a Sailor Moon inspired snood for myself. My youngest sister like it so much that she asked me to make her a Chibi Moon scarf! By this point I'd more or less got the idea of what I was doing and felt more comfortable winging it!

The last few things I've made as gifts I love so much I'd quite like to keep for me! Especially the turquoise and glittery pink snood! The colours are so bright and cheerful.

Can any of you crochet? How about knitting? Do you like to make presents for your friends too? Let me know on the comments below!

Reading Toy Run 2014

Hello Lovelies,

Today's post is all about 2014's Toy Run!

This took part yesterday and there were nearly 2000 bikes taking part, plus pillion passengers too! The idea is to take a toy to donate to children who may not otherwise received a present at Christmas. It was honestly very impressive and I didn't expect so many spectators either!

Christmas is on the way and you can definitely feel the spirit of it!

Christmas is coming! Happy Holidays!!

Hello Lovelies!

It's the holiday season and Christmas is officially on its way! Most of you know that this is one of my favourite times of the year. Everyone seems a bit more cheerful even though the weather hasn't been great and its now dark before 4:00pm here in England. It's also FREEZING! But this mean it's time to break out the knitted jumpers, tights and dresses! Not to mention boots! The downside is that it means I now need a bunch of thermal layers on before even getting on the bike! Wind chill makes a surprising difference this time of the year.

Some of my favourite things so far are these cute little cup designs from Costa (I might be a bit addicted to the Gingerbread latte).

I also made this little Santa from a magazine sewing kit (I have more to do, yay!)

I found this for Harry in one of the pound stores in town for Harry - how cute is this? It's also bone shaped which I thought was pretty funny. Now I just need to buy some treats to put in it!

I've shockingly finished all my Christmas shopping! I hate doing it last minute so try to do it as early as possible! Have you started you finished yours too or are you more of last minute person? Why not let me know below in the comments! <3 p="">

Hello my lovelies!

It's official! The holidays are coming! 'Oh no' I hear you all groan! But yes it's true, the days are getting shorter, the weather is getting cooler and winter themed items are popping up in stores, and I for one couldn't be more excited!
