Crafts :)

Hi all, 

So just wanted to add a few little things I have been doing/ buying recently. A few weeks ago, it was Father's day and typical my dad's birthday was a few days before! that is just cruel for me xD. For his birthday, we went to our local Wetherspoons :) I love that place! After eating my amazing Jack Daniels chicken burger, I used the sauce to write a nice little message to my dad :) 

I love doing stuff like this, took a while though xD

Also I made some lovely and simple wrapping paper for his presents.

This is so simple, I used a Letraset promarker pen and simply drew lines in two different sizes. These pens may be good for manga but are also amazing for wrapping paper. It makes an amazing line and looks really professional. My dad thought I had printed them off! xD
A craft session well done! BTW, you can get Letraset pens here, amazon or anywhere that sells craft supplies. I got mine from Hobbycraft.

Hope you give this a go for yourselves. Home made wrap isn't only cheaper but much more personal, you could do any design you choose. Whether it ties into the present, or the person you are giving it to :).

Toodles for now (enjoy your crafts :D) xx

A homely touch

Hi all,

I'm the kind of person who likes to feel homely. I love vintage looking stuff even more, or stuff with travel things on. I recently watched 'Austenland', a film about a Jane Austen fanatic goes to Austenland, a place where you can experience the world of Jane Austen. This made me really want my room to have a 18th century vibe :).

Here is my new duvet cover set, from Ponden Mill. I got this on sale for £14. It has a lovely monochrome flower pattern across. I didn't like it at first but the flowers aren't actually too in your face :).

The cushion on the bed is from Homebase, avalible here. It has a postcard design, which spoke to me :). Another addition to my room, (although it was a while ago) is the lamp, in the background. It's white with travel stamps and various travel things on, I believe it has a saying on too. I got the lamp for Store Twenty One.

I aim to co-ordinate my room more as its a mix of cream, white and grey xD. But every little helps :).

Shopping trip haul

Hi all,

So after 1D, we had a little shopping trip in good ol' primark :). I realise, this was a while ago xD, but I had this post planned and never got around to actually writing it :/.

So here is what I got :). I realise this picture are a bit poo, and look a bit like an eBay advert xD. I am wanting to add pics of me in the clothes soon :).

 So let's start with this dress I got. I saw this at first in Navy and thought it was lovely, however after seeing the white version, I fell in love. I don't wear much white so it was definitely different for me. It's strapless which is so cute :). This was £10.

 Now this top....I have a thing for New York. I must have about 5 tops with different pictures of new york or anything to do with new york :). Need to go there soon! I also loved the idea it was yellow :) lovely and summery! I like the fit of this top too. This was £3 I think :/....

I this visit to primark, I loved the amount of t shirts with cult stuff on, (is that the word for it? LOL) There was so much Disney, I wanted it all. However I found this uber cute jumper with Dumbo on :). This jumper is a shorter style then my usual jumper but I think it gives it something special. This was on sale for £5.

This top, was a MUST HAVE!

 As soon as I saw this ^^. I almost ran to it. People must have thought I was crazy, by the frantic run and smile on my face. My sister definitely thought I was odd until she saw what I was hurrying to. This Hogwarts top is now one of my fave tees :). This was £6. You don't get many places that sell Harry Potter tops for £6!!!!

Another 'cult' Tee. This Jurassic Park t-shirt was an instant love also. This was.....erm £3?? oh crap xD

Now onto PJ's :D. I was on the look out for new pyjamas. I don't get to visit Primark as much as I used to, which is probably a good thing!

Another buy which I had to have as soon as I saw it. These Winnie the Pooh pyjamas are so cute, and they are thin, perfect for hot summer nights. The shorts are my fave, if you can't see it in the pic, it has the map of 100 acre wood, with all the important places marked. Like in the animation :D. There was another set of pyjamas with trousers but they weren't nearly as cool. This was £8 I think.

Having seen these pyjamas, I had to buy them :). I absolutely love marvel and at only £5, not bad for pyjamas with trousers :).

So that was my shopping haul for Primark, ages ago xD. Hope you enjoyed and love Primark as much as me :).

What do you usual buy from Primark?

A day in the woods :)

Hi all,

It's been too long since my last blog post! I've been busy at work as usual but it doesn't take long to write a post huh?

Well anyway, on this fine day, i'm sitting in the sun :D. Hope you're making the most of the sunshine too! 

This is where i'm sat at this very moment, next my local, would you call it a woods? Lol

I love to come out in the sun, lets you breath and think. Nice to get outside :). I love the sound of nature, the wind in the trees, the birds tweeting (not on twitter! xD) and bees flying around. I'm pretty sure this is what heaven is like :).

The woods have grown so much, there definately wasn't this much foliage before :/ how things grow fast and yet die so swiftly too. 

Even has a cute little bridge! :D 

Mind one things ruins it! The cars in the distance :(. Although even they are actualy quite soothing!. 

Also wanted to share with you what I got in the local charity shop today. This amazing lamp. I believe it may actually work but afraid to try it :/ silly I know. Even for decoration though, its magnificent :D. 

Oh bloody hell, there is spider on my backpack! Knew this would happen. Have no fear readers, I shan't kill it :). I am in natures land haha. 

I should probably head back into shade, sitting in the sun is not healthy xD.

Hope you are enjoying the weather. Let me know what you get up to in the sun :)

Papertoy Monsters Calendar: June

Hi all,

Well here we are....in June already. I think I say this every month but I just can't believe how fast this year is going!

So to start, here is the monster template 

Looks promising, excited to make a dragon :)

Well this little buggar was tricky!

His damn legs would not go right, it took me about 5 mins to just do the legs, then when I finally did it. I felt so stupid because it was so simple :/. 

Here he is in all his glory. He is called Abagon :) looks cute from this angle anyway xD

This is his lovely background, a little plain I think. Probably one of the plainest one yet actually. I guess he likes to be alone on his little island...

So lets see what he is like, oh she....sorry abagon....awkward *awkward turtle gesture*. Aww she is so helpful! Would love to see her with full wings :D.

And lets not forget the little info tag!! :) 

I really like June's monster. What do you think? What's your favourite so far?

Toodles for now :) xx

Where we are tour!! 2014

Hi all,

Omg!! I had an amazing time at the one direction concert! 

People may say 'god, your so sad' but I really don't care, I love One Direction and I know secretly you all love their songs and sing along! You can't lie to me, I'm a blog and I can read minds.....yes you do want to eat that whole bag of doughnuts ^_^.

Me and my sister went to the first uk venue, in Sunderland. We werent too impressed with the weather though :(. We got drenched and my feet got soaked from queuing in a field! But in the end, it was so worth it when they came on! And the rain even stopped :). Didnt stop harry falling however xD bless him. 

This is the top I bought for the concert, says 'styles' and '94' incase you cant rea it :/ and my sister got 'malik' '93' :). I'm telling you, my hair did not look like this once I was in the stadium! Don't know why I bothered xD.

My wristband

Stadium filling up

2.8 hours later

Hi all,

So sorry that this post is late! I'm a little behind on my blog :(

Zombies, they're here!! On saturday, 24th may, i had a run in with some zombies :/

I attended 2.8 hours later, which is a zombie survival event. Basically you and your group have a mission to complete, while avoiding zombies. If caught you get marked, dun dun dun!! Once marked you may become a zombie 😱. 

Me and my sister went to the one in edinburgh because the one in newcastle was sold out. Definately would recommend it, and so glad I went even though I had a mini breakdown. 

About half way through, there were streets dotted with zombies. Having to run past to avoid them. Near the end I almost gave up! I cried *cringe* and was just soooo tired! But after being told, the end was just down the road, we went for it :D and made it untouched :D get in!! 

Here is a pic that was taken after inspection 

Here is my survivor stamp and freaky veins xD 

Even got a zelfie! This guy made the creepiest noises in the street! Btw, this was at the zombie disco after, I didn't stop in the street while avoiding them xD 

And we got a pic with a few of the zombie :) 

They do these events all over the uk, so look it up if your interested, you wont regret it :). Oh and it cost £33 for a ticket to the event. 

Almost forgot the hoodie I bought at the end. (Soz about the squint pic :/) this was £16. 

Hope you all give it a go :)
