Mid-Week Blues

Hi everyone! Do you ever feel that Wednesday, is just another day in the week that just doesn't need to exist because, it's neither close to the weekend or close to the start of the week. Well my advice to make Wednesdays bearable is firstly wear pink ;) but, secondly bake some cookies...

I hope you have a great week

Gifts for anyday of the year No.1 Felt Fourtune Cookie....

Hi Everyone! I know it's after Valentines Day and I said I was going to show you some other little projects related to it, but instead I thought about it and decided that I wanted to show you some little cheap and easy gifts you can make to brighten someone's day, any day of the year!

Firstly, I'm going to show you how to make these Felt Fortune Cookies with customisable messages...

You will need:

Felt

Paper

Scissors

Hot glue gun

bendy wire

pens or pencils

Step 1: Cut out the felt in to circles and cut a rectangle that would fit the diameter of the circle.

Step 2: Next cut some paper strips out and write cute little messages on them

Step 3: Then measure a little bit of wire that fits the diameter of the circle and glue it on with hot glue

Step 4: Glue the rectangle piece of felt on to the piece of wire like so..

Step 5: Place the message inside and fold the circle like this (BEWARE: It can be a little tricky to get the hang of, but you'll get there in the end)

Step 6: You can either just give one for a special someone or make loads and give them to all your best friends...

Have Fun

DIY Heart Valentine Gift

Hey guys! Sorry I didn't post last Friday (slaps wrist) I literally had so much to do. Anyway I wanted to make a little series of quick and easy 'DIY Valentine Gifts'! They are basically ideas that anyone can make and you will get another two projects this week (does that make up for my lack of posts?)

 

So here it is...

You will need:

fabric

scissors

thread

needle

Stuffing Fluff

and a button

Step 1: Cut out two identical hearts or you can cut out a template from online to guide you

Step 2: Then turn the front faces down so the back of the face is looking up to you

Step 3: Next sew around the edge but leave an inch not sewn at the end

Step 4: Turn the heart inside out through the hole you left

Step 5: Stuff the heart and make sure it is nice and firm!

Step 6: Then sew up the hole and adjust the heart to your liking

Step 7: Thread the needle again and attach a button to the middle of the heart

Step 8: Wrap it up and give it either to a friend or your Valentine...

all my love

A Birthday Wishlist

Hey sweetie pies, so next weekend it's my birthday and I can't tell you how excited I am! I think Christmas and Birthdays are just the best! I always love making wish lists because wishing is one of my favourite things too do! Here is what I really love....

For the longest time ever I have been eyeing up these gorgeous Chelsea boots from New Look and love that they aren't too expensive!

Then on my list is this lovely Leather jacket, I still can't believe that I haven't owned one in my life before! but this one is in the Topshop sale which is an added bonus.

Lastly is this beautiful Navy Blue Dress from ZARA which would look lovely with the Chelsea boots in my opinion.

What have you been wishing for recently?

How have you all been?

Hey guys, how are you? I for one have been lacking so much inspiration recently but that just happens sometimes doesn't it?! Oh...last weekend I went and saw 'Frozen' and just saying how cute is Olaf! I have had so many of the songs stuck in my head all week my favourite is let it go though. I was wondering if you wanted to have some posts like, Monthly favourites or a Bedroom Inspiration post let me know!

Quote of the Day...

Here is where this was from!

Hope you had an amazing day

Little Blue Bird for your Keys

Hello everyone! Its Back to school season after the Christmas holidays (which can be so hard, I know) and because of that, I thought I would  show you a DIY project! Today, I'm going to make a Little Blue Bird that will keep your house keys from getting lost in the black hole that is...
.... a handbag! This DIY takes a little bit of preparation but is easy if you follow these steps!

You will need:

2 pieces of blue felt

a little bit of light blue felt

a tiny bit of green felt

a bundle of thread

2 black beads for the eyes

some stuffing

some Ric-a-Rac and a piece of ribbon

Extra Embellishments (use whatever you want):

some cotton fabric (mine is dotty)

different coloured felt

Equipment:

Scissors

needle

a lanyard clip (this is the metal thing that attaches the bird to your keys, however if you don't have it the alternative is just ribbon)

and a template of a bird here is a pretty one, I used a template I had lying around!

Instructions:

Firstly cut out your templates and cut them all out. You need to cut two blue bird bodies out of blue felt, a circle for its eye out of light blue and cut two leaves out of green felt. Feel free to add any embellishments you want to your birdy..

Then sew on all the embellishments like so..

Next add the ribbon on to the bird and attach to the lanyard clip

MAC Lip Glaze 'Hue'

Hey everyone, sorry that I have been lacking in the blog post department, I just haven't been inspired to sit down and write about something that I'm not interested in. I decided this week (yes it's a little late for a New Years resolution, but I only just thought of it) that I want to post at least one post every week on a Friday. This means I will have a little routine for my blog!

Anyway, what I wanted to do today was write a review on MAC's Lip Glaze 'Hue' which is one of MAC's original colours, I believe (I think originals are the best) and I picked it up the other day. It is my first MAC product (gasp) and I love it so much. First of all can I just say that the "lid" click MAC lipsticks have is so satisfying, if you don't own one just go in to your closest store and put the lid on (I told you). Now, lets not get side tracked, the actual colour is pale pink with a tinge of nude. It has a glossy texture and doesn't dry out the lips. It is so beautiful. If your thinking of purchasing it I recommend it completely!

 

I hope you all have had a great week!

Happy New Year

Hello everyone, I just quickly want to wish you a very Happy New Year and hope your year will be absolutely amazing. I have to say 2013 has gone by so fast, I just stopped for a second to blink and then all of a sudden it's 2014 tomorrow...
 

 

 

Have a great night!

A Little Catch Up...

Hello everyone, I hope you're having a great day! I just wanted to have a little catch up and ask how are you? And how did you like Blogmas? I loved it, it was really fun but a little stressful at times. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas. 2014 is literally just around the corner! Have you written your New Year resolutions yet?... I know I haven't yet! I think it's really good to have aims for the coming year and I really want to keep to them :) (I know everyone says that but it's true, a New Year means a fresh start) I also want to remember next year and look back and not regret anything (cringe alert :/). Let me know what you're going to try differently next year, I'd love to know?



 I still can't quite believe I was lucky enough to receive this gorgeous perfume, I hope you all had a fabulous time!

Christmas Dipped Strawberries

Hello everyone, I can't believe it's Christmas tomorrow, where has December gone! Before you know it, it will be 2014. That's crazy! So, I've been doing a lot of baking today and wanted to show you how to make these easy Festive dipped strawberries. You can make these right now if you want to, they would make a lovely treat for your family...

You will need:

White Chocolate Buttons

Green Sprinkles

Strawberries (of course)

a Tray

Glass bowl

Saucepan

a few bowls

Instructions:

First, wash the strawberries

Then fill the saucepan with water and place the glass bowl on top, don't use too much water though, just enough to surround the bottom of the bowl.

Next, 'eye' how much white chocolate you want to melt. Stir until smooth.

After, dip the strawberries into the white chocolate then in to the green sprinkles.

Lastly place on a tray and put in the fridge until hard.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!
