Not too long ago I completed the Instagram phenomenon of 100 Happy Days, so for those of you who don't follow me on Instagram I thought I'd share what I was up to over those 100 days (it may be 102, because a couple of days had 2 photos, so maybe I added a couple of days or I was just too excited and had to have more than one photo; I'm not sure).
Day 1: Sunshine and clear skies (I was at the train station waiting for my train to work).
Day 2: Started a new book with pretty over art, really like it so far (there is a review on the blog).
Day 3: Made mini bunny cupcakes for after Easter Dinner. Happy Easter (these were delicious).
Day 4: Finished my dress for my technical assignment at Uni (I think in the end I got a 2:1 for that project).
Day 5: Shooting Lauren for my styling shoot- domestic disturbia (This was so much fun, and my tutor loved the photos).
Day 6: My trend booklet is now complete and printed out (all of my family was very impressed with these booklets- oh and I got a 1st for that project).
Day 7: Sad to have finished my teatox, but happy to report that I've lost half a stone (there will be a review on the blog at some point).
Day 8: Rearranged my little corner of the office, I really like my new layout (it's been altered a tiny bit since then).
Day 9: Uncle's 40th Birthday at the Guilder Rose (the decor there is lovely; very rustic).
Day 10: I may feel like death, but at least I have a hot water bottle, peppermint tea and especially cuddles from Dan (I had a new found love for peppermint tea).
Day 11: Still feeling awful, but dinner and football at out local is making me feel a little more human (especially the profiteroles).
Day 12: Completely finished my CAD project, finally! Thank God!!! (There had to be a supporting sketchbook as well as the booklet from above).
Day 13: Finished my technical making project- technical file and all! Yay! (I never got given this back I hope they haven't thrown it away).
Day 14: A lovely Costa caramel hot chocolate to celebrate today being my last official lesson of the first year at uni, now all is left is to hand in my projects (which I think were all pretty much completed- I worked my self to illness over the Easter Holidays).
Day 15: Fajitas and a movie with Dan (nice way to relax- I think we watch Moulin Rouge a little too often).
Day 16: Dinner and Drinks at Birkers, although apparently we are here to watch the football; hmm (I was not impressed, if he'd asked if I wanted to come and watch it I would have said yes instead of it being sprung on me once we were already there).
Day 17: Had a lovely day in bed with Dan; eating yummy chocolate and playing video games (which we don't do much now as we've pretty much completed them all).
Day 18: Starting summer clothes shopping soon so looking on Pinterest for some inspiration (I really liked the green dress, but I can't pull that off).
Day 19: Roast dinner for tea, it was absolutely gorgeous (we love a good pork roast dinner- not had one in a long time).
Day 20: Have FINALLY bought myself a new jacket. I love it!!! (I really do).
Day 21: Final day of my first year of university; everything has now been handed in and I'm free (I got a 1st for my portfolio- but I completed the entire year with a 2:1).
Day 22: Redesigned my blog! I promise to start blogging more (I've been ok, but had a large gap once I got back from America).
Day 23: It's strawberry pimms time! Having it at home is amazing! (Recipe is one the blog).
Day 24: got some new cute little black shoes as my other are in need for repair (these ones have broken too now).
Day 25: a nice night sky always makes me feel nice and relax (I only learnt recently that full moons last 3 days).
Day 26: Nearly finished reading my book while enjoying a peppermint tea before work this afternoon (the train gets me into town about 45 minutes too early so I have to find some way to kill some time).
Day 27: Took my Grandma out for lunch for her birthday on Friday, it was lovely (the Office is usually quite expensive but they do a good lunch menu).
Day 28: Got some Pink Gerberas to mark the Anniversary of my Granddads death tomorrow, his favourite colour was pink and we were Gerberas for the funeral (you can read a little piece on the blog that is a letter to my Granddad).
Day 29: Set up a Facebook page for my blog and selling prints (not that much goes on here).
Day 30: Having a lovely afternoon sat in Sue's garden, isn't her Wisteria lovely? (pretty sure I got sunburnt that day).
