Birthday Report - I'm Old!

Hello again!
As you may have heard, it was my birthday last Wednesday. Oh my I feel so old now! But I had a lovely day, despite not being at work and being congratulated all the time, or getting an office birthday present (although that would be a first anyway!). I went to St James Park to find one of the eggs that had recently been restored. Yes, we're not entirely done just yet!

It was nowhere where I thought it would be, but I found it in the end :) I of course also posted this in my post about zone 5 to make it more complete. I'm nothing if not organised!

 I find that giving London a chance has really made me appreciate it more. I suddenly notice all the old buildings and statues a lot more.

 Plus the parks are so pretty in the sun :)

 This is one of the royal buildings, and even the street lights are wearing crowns!

 When I came home, the bf was there already with flowers and presents. :) He got me this cute basket with flowers, so adorable!

 I also got the movies Twilight - Breaking Dawn (or Twilight 4A as I like to call it), and The Help. I LOVE The Help, it is such an amazing movie! I saw it on a plane once and must have watched it 4 times during the flight. Twilight is a must because this installment is so hilarious that I need to watch it with the bf and listen to his comments. He always has the best comments so this should be fantastic.

 Afterwards we went out for a steak dinner in a nearby restaurant. The last time we went here the service wasn't too great and while it started off a little troubling this time too, we soon got the good waiter and the evening was a hit. The food was amazing and I had my yummy big cocktail :)

 Our best friends joined us as well, which I didn't know and I was pleasantly surprised when I saw them again :)

 I ate so much that I didn't really want dessert but I did want the sparkler and the song so I asked if they could do something. We went here as well for my friend's birthday and I asked for her which was so funny! So they lovely 'good' waiter got me this plate with a teeny tiny dessert and a lovely birthday wish. Plus I got the sparkler but I wasn't fast enough with the camera ;)

On the way home we spotted this car which was just too funny not to photograph! Not to worry, I blanked out the license plate just in case, but isn't that funny! I could imagine driving this, though maybe in purple plush ;) 

Now I feel old... I have two the same numbers in my age now! I had a lovely quiet birthday and to top it off I will make the bf watch Twilight with me very soon. Muahahaha! 

Don't forget to enter in my birthday giveaway! It will hopefully be the start of a regular pattern but it would be great to have lots of people join in :) Have a great weekend everyone!!

Scissor Sock Tutorial

Image
Hi all! I've had so many request from friends for these scissor socks that I wanted to share the tutorial with you. I've been sick for a while so this tutorial is well over due. This will be my first sewing tutorial so I hope it's clear enough :) Feel free to make you own or for friends or family, but please don't use it for commercial purposes or make them to sell. It is after all not my pattern. So let's get started :) You need: 2 pieces of fabric with different print Interfacing (with ironing option on one side only) Cord Ribbon 1 button  Beads Cutting mat and ruler Rotary cutter and scissors Some sort of circular template (I use a small plate) Needle and thread Cut the fabric and the interfacing to a rectangle of 9x12.5 inches (23x32 cm). Decide which fabric you want where, this will influence the next step. Use your circular template to round one corner. The fabric you want on the top and bottom of your sock will have t

Easter Prep Stage 3 - Happy Easter!

Image
Happy Easter everyone! I hope you're having a great day and no matter where you are you've had your fair share of Easter eggs whether real or chocolate. :) I was a bit late as usual so had a few last minute projects to complete last night... Lots of cool Easter projects though, let me show you:  I started this at last week's Craft Meet. Everyone around me was knitting and I felt a bit like a 5-year old with my paint chips cutting out eggs, but there was a need for it. I found a great idea on Pinterest and just had to try it. So I rushed to the DIY store and got a pile of paint chips... Taadaa, the Easter bunting! Isn't it the coolest! The original idea was found here (please link to the ORIGINAL POST when adding this to Pinterest if you want to pin this) , and I just love it! The paint chips I used were a little different from what the original post shows, and I thought it would be nice to have some diagonal eggs as well. THAT was not such a good id

Fabulising February - Men's Shirt Dress

Image
Hi everyone! Fabulising February is nearly over and this is the last project I have managed to complete.Tomorrow I'll post a short recap showing all the finished projects. Wanting to go out with a bang, I tackled a men's shirt that the bf bought online many years ago and forgot to return it so I wanted to make something nice out of it. Seems a waste to be throwing away a brand new shirt! Granted, it was white and while probably cotton it was very thick and stiff material. So I dyed it purple. Of course. Once it was purple, I then had to try and do something with it. Easier said than done! I finally found a cute idea for a dress in blogland (didn't save the link though) and I really wanted to try that. But the instructions were super tricky so in the mending pile it went. This is the shirt. Much too large even for the bf but purple at least ;) And a bit wrinkled for being in the bag for a very long time. But with only a little time left in my Fabulising February
