Oh, such a happy happy day

I'm mega happy today! I'm with the people I love most and having a fab time. We all drive the 7 long hours from caister to Manchester (via Sheffield of course to pick up my lovely sister) and then headed off to the 21st birthday party of a very lovely friend of ours, who incidentally is one of my bridesmaids when I get married! Sharry and I actually had a little dance tonight, which we dot usually do an haydn was dancing til he fell asleep in the middle of the party!



My sister, Laura is so cute! She made these cupcakes for Rhiannon (the birthday girl) and they are amazing, I cant wait to have one!



I get to spend the rest of the week with her as well as she's coming to stay with us!



I'm going to bed a very happy lady tonight!

Night loves,

It's all about shrinkles and wreaths

Hi there, so I finally found my phone, hurray! I feel whole again. I also changed my screen cos it had a huge crack in it. Now I'm blogging from it's lovely uncrackedness!

Here is the wreath I just finished, I think it's cute and summery, me like!


And here are my first ever shrinkies! I wasn't sure how small they would shrink so I started with them pretty small... Then they baked... And oh my goodness... The cutesy little plastic tiles popped out! I Love Them!!!!


See how small they are in relation to a pencil! Eek!


I love these, I'm going to experiment with different pens and sizes to see what I like best.

Tomorrow, I'm going on a mini road trip for a 21st birthday party. I also get to see my little sister which I am very excited about! Then we have a whole week to make cute things!

I am up really early tomorrow so it's sleepy time now!

crushing on kitchens

Evening all! Well I was supposed to have a post aboutmy new blue and yellow wreath that I finished yesterday and also my first ever Shrinkles...BUT i have currently misplaced my Iphone and that is where the pictures are....hmmmm. That post will have to wait until tomorrow me thinks.

So I got to thinking...just for a change about kitchens, I have a vision of what I want mine to look like...and secretly I kmeep storing items away that I like hehe. These are some ideas of what I would like for my kitchen but with a Missy twist added in for good measure!

I just love clean white kitchens that have  a 'calamity jane' cottage look to them.

  

Cream kitchens are good too. I would love to throw some red in here. Yum...that's the colour scheme I would like to use!

Now, open storage is an absolute must if I have any spare space at all! Perfect for my coffee pot collection!

and this...well just wow. All the pretty colours. In Love!!

What is your style? Do you get as excited about homely projects as I do?

Love Missy

i NEED to learn to knit

Wow wow wow....just look at these amazing projects by Amy Butler. I'm so totally in love with them. Especially the leg warmers. They are without doubt the cutest I have ever seen....ever!

These projects have been designed to compliment her range of yarns (she has her own range...fabulous!)

They are such pretty ideas though and different from the usual projects...that tbh sometimes look a bit old fashioned?

These coffee warmers are too cute aswell! So anyway...I need to learn to knit really fast so I can started on those leg warmers!!

As for the rest of tonight, this picture about sums it up...

sometimes I don't like technology

Good evening, well...it is now I am about to go to bed! I was just finishing off a little piece of graphic work, it was all ready to go to the printers then....Eeeek...the computer made a booboo and lost half my work. So now I spent the whole evening sorting it out and couldnt do any crafting. I want to do some now but I'm soo sleepy! Boohoo. Nevermind...tomorrow will be here soon enough. Yay!

I could seriously have used these cushions earlier...even though I'm using a mac lol!

Happy post tomorrow I promise!

look how cute this space is

Hi! I've had a bit of a funny evening tonight. I slept for most of it and then woke up to watch Remember Me, with (Robert Pattison in it) It was actually a really lovely, moving film, not at all what I was expecting and it made me think. Now however, after already sleeping half the evening I am WIDE awake. So I thought I would share this studio with you. It's from a pretty blog I found called Making it Lovely.

 

It's such an exciting looking space. I am a huge fan of open storage (I kind of freak out a bit if all my crafty stuff is put away cos I forget what I have and how to use it lol) The colours are so nice too, and the table....well...I'd be scared to use it incase I damaged it! Gorgeous!

Now I'm not sure what I would use these for but I'm sure I could find something. I want!!

I'm really excited to think about my own craft space...which will be in the house I intend to buy soooon! (as soon as we get the money together that is) So many possibilities, I'm not sure I'll be able to decide!

So tomorrow, I have a whole 3 hour craft session scheduled. No work, no children, no cleaning! Just me, a little bit of Marina & the diamonds and creativity. BLISS.

Do you get as excited by alone crafting time as this? I feel a bit bad for wanting some alone time but I learnt the hard way, that I do a lot and every now and then I need a little bit of me time. So, roll on tomorrow!

I think the birdie will be a brooch? I'm not sure!

Hi friends! It's a pretty early post for me tonight. It's a pre craft post rather than post craft post. If that makes sense. Anyway, today I hve been mostly sleeping, cleaning and looking after my boy. So tonight plan includes lots of crafting a little planning and some cherry sourz with lemonade! Oh and some jelly beans.



This is pretty much what my evening looks like! What are your evening plans?
