Oh dear, Its been a whole month since I wrote my last blog post. Not good.
Well, lets hope this makes up for it! A little while a go i started using Twitter properly and have gradually been gathering followers!
Its so interesting to discover what and who is out there, and can I say crafts is so much bigger and popular than I realised! It has been a busy month with my older sister moving out, my massage course getting harder and being set homework...weird and I have also got a job in a Spa. I can't help but continuously find great jewellery, home ware and great gifts for all occasions!

Here are a few I've found.

Zara Taylor has produced these creative pieces:

Find more of this jewellery at zarataylor.co.uk and follow her on twitter @zaratayloruk
Celebraties such as Fearne Cotton and Gabriella Ellis have been wearing her jewellery.

Heres more jewellery I found from Storm In A Teacup.

Big, bold, creative items which could be worn from day to day or for the occasional dressy occasion or night out! I love the colours used and vintage effect, It's nice to find someone having fun with their products and executing it well!
You can find more from www.stormteacup.co.uk or follow on twitter @stormteacup

Last but not least for now is Bill and Betty at Home.

There is a lot to chose from this website. The quality is brilliant! I have chosen these items because I am currently in love with the french boudoir vintage style at the moment. What better way to decorate your home then to pick fabulous pieces which will never age.

I hope you have found some inspiration from my blog today and I hope that my grammar and spelling hasn't been too awful.

Lots of love and fluffy stuff! xxx

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 :)

Handmade

I have begun making jewellery. There is something genuinely peaceful about it. Being happy about the end result is always a plus! I cruise the websites of high street shops to find inspiration, and although I am definitely and amateur at the craft I recon I'm doing alright!
I have found that I should using the rule K.I.S.S : Keep It Simple Stupid. :D
Don't attempt big designs until you've practiced the small ones first.

Heres a few examples of the pieces ive completed so far.
Enjoy!

A Cream Cake is Just a Cream Cake

Life is taken far too seriously these days. You can't walk down the road and smile at another like we used to. When I have attempted to i've received threatening looks and been asked what I'm looking at. It's just a smile.
People are also just people. There are some in life who will hurt you but there are many more who will support you and become brilliant friends. So shrug off those who mistreat you or hurt you, because thats only another person and theres lots of nice ones out there anyway!
I might be a poor girl from a poor family but i feel rich in family support and courage. People can save every dime they earn and end up rich in money but  poor in life experience. As humans its our nature and our right to travel, see astonishing places and  meet astonishing people. Don't miss out on this for the sake of a few quid. Relax, after all
People are just people,
Money is just money
Cream cakes are just cream cakes.
