Running - Big Fun Run 2014 for MS Society

Hi all!
I hope you're having (or had) a wonderful weekend! Mine was super busy and it all started with a run again :) The last run of the year, at least that's what was planned before I found out about Christmas runs LOL, this one was the most important one as it was for the MS Society. 

 
I arrived in style of course in my orange tutu which was very Halloweeny but also matched the MS Society shirt. There were so many runners supporting the charity, it was great!

There were other great costumes too, this guy made me smile :)

And there was a Stormtrooper who was running with a mini Darth Vader, too cute!

I made it! It's been tricky over the last year having MS and I really want to keep running for as long as I can. I hadn't run in a couple of months but still made good time (4.84km in 29.46 mins. I was all the way at the back and leaving the pack was a little tricky, but all in all am quite pleased)

Lots of people finishing their race...

I caught these guys on my way out, they did the whole course in these costumes!

Very impressive

 Sadly, the bf was sick at home so he was unable to run with me, but he was proud of my time too :) As this is the last charity run I'll be doing for a while, let me share my Justgiving page with you, just in case you are inclined to make a donation. No obligations of course! At least the next 5 runs will be just for fun and I will not be fundraising, am starting to feel a little silly really. It's a shame this race is always the last one as the MS Society doesnt have their own event so this is the only way. Thank you in advance!

 Soon I will have some lovely 'in season' posts so watch this space :)

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
