Fascinating Fascinators!

I am very excited to say that I have found a new crafty thing for me to do! I love jewellery making, it's a relaxing activity and I enjoy it :)
However, I have decided to start making fascinators and other hair accessories.
I have been making a few today and love it! I have used a variation of different coloured feathers, plastic jewels, felt and hair clips and grip...not forgetting the glue gun which my mum had nicely stored away with a billion glue sticks! 

Here are some I made earlier...always wanted to say that!






                                          This one is my favourite!


I hope you have enjoyed, any tips or advice would be most appreciated!

Weight Loss...yay...

Ok guys so I am officially fed up with my current weight. I have steadily been gathering fat stores incase of sudden hibernation for a while now...ok i've been a piggy. But its time for things to change!
I used to be quite fit and enjoyed feeling, well, alive! Over the last three years i've not moved too much and the sluggish feeling of dragging myself through day to day life is rather irritating.
Im not massive but plump!

Anyway, there is a metal device in the shape of an excersise bike sitting in the backroom gathering dust..lots of dust. Its time to dust that baby off and get going.



That bit I can deal with; what i really need help with is diet!
I'm not much of a chef so my diet is limited.
Your mission readers is to inspire me with deliscous, healthy meals which are relatively easy to make

Thanks guys :D

Hampton Court Flower Show 2011!

For those of you who are interested in plants of all shapes, sizes and colours this event is a great opportunity for you to go and develop great ideas for your garden! For many of us our garden is our haven. The escape and place of peace after a hard day of week at work. So don't be afraid to fill this space with big bold plants as well as the smaller ones!
I only got a half day ticket but would have easily stayed for the entire day. The flower marquee was brilliant and full of colour.
 This is my mum! She her worn the perfect top for flower camouflage! These chairs are lovely. There were a few stands with flower surrounded furniture which gave the perfect picture of what your garden could look like.
There were many brilliant  gardens and one i particulally liked was this pink garden with great levitating tap water feature...im going to have to get one of those.
Here are some more highlights from the show.


The garden by Anglian Windows! Good idea...i get it,  but surely they wont survive for long like that!


What? It was Pimms O'clock!


And after a long day walking around and picking up ideas and eating ice cream, the day was completed with a full rainbow :)

I hope you have enjoyed this post.

Leopallooza!

Leopallooza!

This will be my third year going to this small music festival in Cornwall. The two previous years were great!
Everyone is relaxed, friendly and up for a great time. The food and beer is good but bring your wellies just incase! Of course the music is brilliant too, from indie rock to jazz. This festival is a great chance to open your eyes to different music and great performances.
There's a lot to look forward to this year so take a look :)
