Welcome!

Hello!

As one of my (many) New Year's Resolutions, I decided that I wanted to start (and hopefully maintain) a blog. I thought about starting a regular journal, but I like the idea of a blog as I feel that I am more likely to keep it up to date.

I will be blogging about my life, crafts, photography and anything else that catches my eye.

Hope you enjoy!

2021 Temperature Blanket

Image
Hello! So I have decided this year to crochet a temperature blanket. This is a blanket that has a row crocheted each day in a colour that is chosen to represent the temperature for that day. Here are the colours that I have chosen and the temperature ranges that they represent: They are all Paintbox yarns in the colours: 0° and below - Pansy Purple 1° to 4° - Kingfisher Blue 5° to 8° - Marine Blue 9° to 12° - Washed Teal 13° to 16° - Spearmint Green 17° to 21° - Grass Green 22° to 25° - Mustard Yellow 26° to 29° - Blood Orange 30° and above - Rose Red Border - Paper White As I started on the 1st of January (and I live in the North of England), I have only used the first four colours so far. I'm looking forward to seeing the changes throughout the year. For now, I will leave you with a picture of my blanket as far as January 31st.

Lou Lou's Vintage Fair - Sheffield - 25th January 2014

Image
I went to Lou Lou's Vintage Fair at the Town Hall yesterday and thought I would share some information about the event. It is a great fair and has been named winner of the best vintage fair in the UK. The fair held various different stalls selling everything from clothes and accessories to vintage crockery and fabrics. In addition to the multitude of fabulous stalls, there was also a vintage tearoom and a vintage stylist, so that customers could fully immerse themselves in the vintage fair experience. I would highly recommend a trip to Lou Lou's Vintage Fair in a city near you if you get the chance, as it is a wonderfully organised fair with lots of variety. There is something for everyone. Visit their website , Facebook page , Twitter and blog for more details.

Complete Cosplay

Image
This post is rather late as I have been having laptop troubles and was hoping to write it when that was sorted, but I am no closer to that than I was a fefew weeks ago and I didn't want to leave this any longer. I finished my Captain America USO Girl costume for Sheffield Film and Comic Con at the end of August! I got lots of compliments on my costume throughout the day and I really enjoyed wearing it. Halter neck is still not a favourite of mine as I do end up with a sore neck by the end of the day, but the dress itself was comfortable and easy to wear. The cosplay masquerade was a lot of fun and it was great to see so many fantastic costumes on display. I have already started planning my next cosplay (probably Kaylee from Firefly) and I have a long list of other possibilities for future cosplays. Can't wait to get started on the next one!
