Coming soon...

Heya I have been a really really bad blogger lately and realised I haven't posted in over a month, but I have started a couple of projects and plan on starting some other stuff and so I will have some posts coming up very soon.

For starter I am in the process of making a dress from a patten I already have and altering it slightly I am not sure how it is going to turn out at the moment but I will put some pics up soon.

I also plan on starting a bit of embroidery, and making a cover for a folder or something like that :P

Lastly I am painting over an old canvas picture that my friend gave me because she didn't want it I loved it at first and then decided that actually it doesn't go as well as I thought it would with my room so I am painting over it and hoping maybe eventually when I get my craft room which should happen in the next year or so :P it can hang lovely in there.

I promise to post more very soon! :)

Winter warmers

Hello, So today I took a trip to George with my mum and spotted these beauts :P

I bought a pair of fleece lined tights last winter for work an they were so comfortable so when I saw these I had to have a pair :P

The purple ones are such a lovely colour and they feel nice and soft aswell I couldn't resist :P

I also decided today that I am going to go as close to my natural colour as I can not that it really matters because I leave my hair for months without dying it but at least I wont have to worry about roots.

Problem is I am pretty much guessing what my natural colour is because I have been dying my hair since I was about 16 so we will have to wait and see, it also depends if I like it, I will probably find myself going back to my live XL platinum blonde a couple of weeks after :P

Right this again is not the best outfit picture but its the closest I have to a full length :P

pretty simple outfit for this night as it was just down the pub

I paired this with my creepers which I should wear more often I forgot how much I love them :P

The shirt and vest top are from Primark and the skirt is from H&M

And that is one of my closest friends in the picture with me :P

21st birthday week night 1

Heya! I apologise for my lack of posting I haven't really kept up with taking pics of my outfits but here is a quick one on what I wore on Monday night.

I booked this week off so that I could go out with friends and not have to worry about having work the next day. 

I apologise in advance for the picture as I had had a few beverages before it :P

My dress is from Tkmaxx I have a black studded clutch bag which is from select and my wedges which you cant see in this picture are from Deicheman (not completely sure how it is spelt) :P

Painted Marilyn Monroe

So, just a quick update on my room upgrade :P

This is what I am most proud of. I made a paper stencil of Marilyn Monroe and cut it out and used a sponge to paint using black acrylic, I am so happy with how it came out I really thought I was going to mess it up and black is not an easy colour to paint over :P

But this is how it came out: 

This is my favourite part of my room at the moment. It isn't completely finished as I need frames put up holes filled in (which I should have done before painting) and a few bits need changing e.g a new black silk throw, I have seen the perfect one in primark but will have to hope it is still there on payday :P

Re-upholstery

 Heya!

So I have been really busy lately but I wanted to show you something I am quite proud of :) my friend built this Ottoman a while ago and decided she didn't have the room for it any more so I said I would have it as I have always wanted one but they always seem to be so expensive.

Anyway recently (as you may know from my previous post) I plan on redecorating my room (bit by bit) :P

I bought some black fake velvet fabric a little while ago and thought maybe I can make a dress or something. Then I thought actually I could use it to re-cover my Ottoman. 

So that is what I did :)

This is it before I pulled it all apart and re-upholstered it.

And this is it now :)

It will go better with my room when I get it all finished :P

Room Make-over starts :P

Right, so I have decided to try and focus on getting my room sorted because I have never been completely happy with it so I thought I would share my ideas and suggestions are welcome!!

Plus I think this project will take a while because funds are short at the moment :P

Anyway I will show you what I have done so far which isn't a lot really.

This is my photo wall, I am so proud of it :P I love just looking at it :P

Th light pink wall next to it I am considering painting dark/hot pink, It will make it dark but I don't mind.

And I have a question, How many colours are suitable for a colour scheme? 

Because I wanted black cream and hot pink but I have a lot of purple stuff that is really nice, would it look right??

I have always wanted a decorative letter thing that you put on the shelf like when you can get the words 'home' or 'love' So I made my own following this >> http://greenzebracrafts.com/diy-paper-mache-letter/ tutorial.

I love it!!!
