Snow snow snow!

The whole country has been talking about the snow...well I'm no different. I love it, especially when it is fresh. I was worried at the weekend that I wouldn't make it home but thanks to good old public transport and lifted rail restrictions I made it home and back with no bother at all!

Best part of it all...seeing my mum and my old lab Pacha who has been poorly but best of all, being able to play in the garden and make a cute snowman! 
Can you ever be too old to make a snowman?? I certainly hope not!!!

1 hour later Snowman 2013 and Snowdog where born...

Home Sweet Home

Home is where the heart is and this week we will be viewing properties in search of our first time home. I'm excited about finding my 'castle' our 'kingdom', something which we can call and make our own! Budget and pennies...that's what is important now!

In the mean time this little gift is for a dear friend and her new home. This hand stitched heart, with 'home sweet home' message and cute heart shape button on the centre back, is a thoughtful gift which I hope she will love.

All in a Bloom

I fell in love with these flowers when I went shopping on Saturday. The shades tie in perfectly with my decor in the flat (I love a splash of pink and lime green)!

Bought from an independent flower man at Sheffield market, these flowers where not only a bargain at £6 for 4 bunches but have definitely brightened up my weekend!   

Not normally a fan or carnations, these flowers have an extra wow with the paintly, tie dye look (a big trend for AW13) J'adore!

 

 

 

 

 

Home Sweet Heart

This summer I gave my flat a fresh lick of paint and on a roll I took to some finishing touches too. Being a keen sewer there's always lots of crafty pieces in my flat including boxes and boxes of fabric. I think we all have one of those boxes filled with, 'oooo i love that material, but I'm saving it for something special'. I am guilty of this and as a self confessed hoarder I've always got fabric to hand! 

Saving and utilising scraps from a recent bunting project (I knew I was saving them for something) I set about making some art for the flat! I hope you like the results...my bedroom certainly does!
