Curls and Creations

I have seen many versions of this top floating around various blogs and Pinterest, so I figured that it was about time that I gave it a go myself.  

I have never thought to look at the books in Poundland before, as I always just assumed that there would be nothing interesting there, however when I had a little time to spare in town a couple of weeks ago, I went and had a bit of a look to pass the time.

This post is a bit late and for that I must apologise! I want to share with you the selection of books that I got for Christmas, along with a sneaky little gift to myself that I picked up a few days ago. I received a range of different kinds of books, all of which suit me rather well. Just goes to show how well my family all know me!

This post is massively overdue and for that I apologise. Booktober did not go as well as I had hoped. I only managed to get through two of the four books that I had planned to read as I was filling my time with all sorts of random things rather than sitting down with a good book.

So it is officially Booktober! I am going to join the lovely Miss Carrie Hope Fletcher in reading one book each week for the duration of October.

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!

With Sheffield Film and Comic Con being one week away, I thought now would be a good time for a costume update.   I have procrastinated like crazy with this costume which is why I still have a fair bit to do over the next 7 days.
