Monday was my first day of university; how scary is that. It bloody was scary, I'd spent the 2 weeks before hand in tears, stressing about this and that, so Dan being lovely said he'd come with me on my first day. Remember how I said that Dan and I were planning to move to Preston before I started uni (my university is...

A couple of weeks ago I went camping with some of my family members, it was pretty much a girls holiday except for my little brother and the dogs. So I thought I'd share some photos and tell you a bit about it. When we first got there it was raining...a lot, so I might have stayed in the car a little longer...

 I realised I haven't blogged in a very long time! Like, a very long time, but guess what? My laptop has broken again; wooo! And Dan uses his for work and then in the evening we want to spend time together, so I don't get too much access to his laptop. But I've stolen it for a few minutes while he's reading! I...

Basically, my boyfriend and I have been arguing a little bit lately, and I just wanted to remind him how much I love him (which is a lot, by the way, in case you haven't gathered) and I came across this tutorial on  Pinterest. I just thought it would be a nice little present. And as he has been in America this past...

Ever since a little trip my Mum and I had to IKEA and I spotted some lovely Toile De Jouy bed sheets, I have been in love with the design. So she bought me a single cover for when I go to Uni. However, because I've moved in with my boyfriend, there isn't much need for a single sheet, but he did say...

This is a DIY that I did last summer, but shortly after putting the photos on to my laptop and deleting them off of my camera, my laptop decided to die, so yeah... But nearly a year later I am finally posting it, hurray! Now as some of you have probably gathered I like jewellery, really like jewellery, which is sad when my...

While I was sat at my sewing machine last night, sewing together parts of my one of my bodices for my final outcomes of my final major project, I was taking pins out as I sewed along and I was just putting them at the side of my on the table in a pile. Which obviously isn't safe; imagine if we had an...

I have realised that it may be a little silly trying to decide what cushions I want when the living room doesn't really have a proper colour scheme and I can't really decided on one, because again it wouldn't be fair if it was ultra feminine. But we were told about a marvelous website the other day called Design Seeds, which has loads of images...

So for those of you who read my post yesterday, you will know I have moved in with my boyfriend and I am very excited about CUSHIONS! But I can't quite decide what kind I want for the living room, so I've been looking all over the blog world for some lovely DIYs and I have found a few.  If I don't use...

So blog world, I have some exciting news... I've moved in with my boyfriend...well...pretty much, everything of mine that was at my Mum's is now at my boyfriends, as she's moving soon and it's far easier for me to live with my boyfriend...I feel like such a grown up. The dining room is currently a mess, we just plopped everything down when Mum...

(This post is copied from my reflective journal blog for my Final Major Project, but as I can't have any comments on it, I've decided to spare it here too). On the 7th March, Esther and I went for a workshop at the Tate Liverpool with Jennifer Collier. We started off the morning by looking through her portfolio, most of which I had...

Right, it is no secret that I'm not exactly skinny, and since I pay £24 a month for the gym I am determined to lose some proper weight this time...and keep it off. When I first started at the gym I went every single day for about 2 weeks, I lost 7 pounds in the first week, but surprise surprise that all came...
