Just to say...

I have finally purchased a satchel! Although not the one from my wish list, I changed my mind at the last moment. This is the one I've just bought:

From urbanoutfitters.co.uk £48.

It was so hard to choose between this one and the other one, thankfully Hannah was at hand!

Can't wait for school.. *hint sarcasm*

Where did half term go! Knowing that I never have any time during school term, I started and finished my latest art project in almost a day. So chuffed! You may remember from my bedroom post (here) that I mentioned jazzing my big dressing table mirror up a bit..so that's exactly what I did! When me and Hannah went to the Hospice Shop on Monday, I picked up a really pretty china plate covered in a beautiful oriental pattern. So what did I do? Smashed it up and stuck it round my mirror! We had to take the mirror down to do it though, so that's where the main kerfuffle came in! Here is the outcome..

What d'ya think? The pictures don't show it off very clearly, but you get the idea. I would love to know of any things like this you do, I'm always looking for new ideas. I'm now working on my next little arty project, keeps me busy! Maybe I will do a post on it when it's finished...
Have a nice rest of Sunday and Monday (if that's possible). I'm off to enjoy my Sunday Roast!

Why hello there!!

Why hello there!! The half term week is nearly over, yet it has gone by so quickly...
I've recently really gone into photography alongside my sewing.
Ever since I got a Fujifilm Camera, I'm constantly taking photo's of everything and everything.  I also found a really good website to edit my photo's!! Here's some I took earlier...

My London Bus keyring

Tape measure

As well as taking pictures I have to say my sewing skills have dramatically improved since my mum drew the sewing machine out of the loft!!!  I've done so many things with it including making a red riding hood costume for Izzy and making Rosie a cushion.
If you read my last blog post, I said that I bought a skirt from a charity shop.  It was way to big for me and the length was down to the floor, so it took it up and drew the elastic into the waist.  I finally finished it and I'm so pleased with the result.
I thought I needed a new school bag, so why not make my own!!  I hadn't got a clue what the handle should be, so I got a belt from the hospice charity shop and made it into the handle.  It's great!!  I don't have a picture of the bag, but I'm sure i'll get a picture in my next blog.

Just one last thing, I had a lovely time out with Rosie today.  We went to Bean and around the world coffee shop and had a huge mug of chai latte whilst wondering how tanned Izzy's got in south africa.
I hope you enjoy the last few days of your half term!!!
Love

Rosie's Wish List

....which are things she'll never be able to afford. But we won't dwell too much.
So here's the first thing, the almighty satchel! I still can't believe that I haven't bought a satchel yet, but I just felt that I couldn't find one that ticked all the boxes. But I think I've found the one! I reeeally like it, even though I always thought that I was after a completely leather one.

From Urban Outfitters, £44.

Also, I'm craving to take those dreamy snaps with this little beaut...

Diana F+ from various online sites, £70-ish

And, most of all, a new iPod! I have got a lot of artists (10 pages of!) that I want to be able to listen to without needing to go on the internet. I did have an iPod, but then my brother somehow 'adopted' it, but I need one with more memory anyway.

160gb iPod classic, £197. (^^I wouldn't listen to that, haha!)

I don't really care what it looks like or how 'up-to-date' it is, I just want one that will do the job, so this one seems good.

I'm trying to keep this post short, so I'm going to leave it there. Just realised they aren't exactly the most interesting things you see on a wish list, but there you go!

Have a good rest of week, 

Rosie. XXX

Wouldn't it be dreadful to live in a world without tea??

Hello for the second time!!  I hope you all enjoyed Rosie and I's joint post on Monday to fill in for Izzy.
Yesterday, I enjoyed a girls day out with one of my friends.  There's nothing like chatting in a coffee shop for hours whilst warming our hands around the mugs of our chai latte's (I thoroughly reccomend this drink)!!!  After that, I couldn't resist but having a peep in the charity shops.  Surprisingly I found this lovely skirt, it was quite long though so I'm going to take it up, that's another job for me to do!!  I can't wait to finish the skirt so I can add it to my ever growing s/s wardrobe...Whilst looking through one charity shop, I saw a cute little mannequin which would have been perfect for put my clothes on when they need sewing. And so I took it to the counter only to find out that it wasn't for sale...VERY embarrassing!!
After that, we went to have our hair cut.  I decided to go for a small side fringe with relaxed layers throughout.  I was really impressed, so for any of you who are looking for a good hair salon, I definitely recommend Toni and Guy in town.
Soon my friend and I parted and I decided to have some me time in town myself.  So, I bought a copy of Elle magazine, bought myself yet another cup of tea to go and sat on a bench in the royal square and read my magazine.  It just goes to show that treating yourself doesn't have to cost a fortune...

And so to today.  I got up super early and did 4 hours, yes, 4 hours of revision.  I got stuck in and did it.  Once my revision was over, I treated myself to a tasty bacon and lettuce sandwich (with tomato sauce obviously).

And thats about it!!
I literally can't squeeze anything else out of my brain...so what ever you're up to this half term...treat yourself!!! You deserve it...

Lots of love
