'You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!'

So, this blog post is going to be boring, no pictures or anything, yeah, I'm sat in a digger at work. It has made me realise, I make to many plans. So far, I have to finish off my dress, my skirt, a jacket and a patchwork quilt. As well as start some shorts that I have material for. Also, doing my liebster award post! I have even started planning other things to make. I just get so bored sticking to one thing! My mum has even put an order in for me!  I even know what I want to make after, a film bag and some decoupage doc martens. My issue with both these things though is that it's going to take a while. So this is my pledge! If anyone has any old 35mm films, used or expired would you send them to me?(; I'd love to make a bag without spending a fortune! Also, if anyone has any doc martens(I doubt this one) I don't even mind if they're not my size, and extremely battered, if just love to decoupage a pair but would hate to spend a fortune on some and ruin them! If you have any of these items, feel free to email me!(: Thankyou all! I will post finishing pictures!

'Do or do, there is no try.'

So these past few weeks i have bought 2 pairs of shoes! And they're heels at that! I LOVE shoes, and wish i had millions of pairs!! I just can't help myself! Pair number one were from bank. Normally i HATE shops like that, never have i bought anything from there before, mainly because it's so expensive, and i think some of the things are a tad cheap looking. However i fell in love with these shoes, and they're only £19! In the sale from £55! And the next pair, of the market in Birmingham  on my day shopping trip there! (I didn't even visit the Doc Marten shop!) Both have spikes on, another thing i vowed i would never wear! They're both incredibly high, but for a short girl, i need high shoes! 

I'm always looking for a bargain pair of shoes, and next on the list is a red pair i think! It's so difficult for me to buy shoes i like, one foots bigger then the other, i hate my feet so i won't wear sandles/peep toes! And it's summer, there are NO nice shoes about! If anyone has any shoes they'd like to donate to this cause, i'm a size 5 in heels, or 6 in flats! I like Doc Martens, these will be greatly appreciated! Haha! Has anybody got any good shops/online shops they'd recommend for reasonably priced shoes?

P.S. The pink/blue ones are from Bank, the black ones are from the market. I am aware the photo is the wrong way around, but i'm lazy, okay?

'Well, nobodies perfect'

How many people have heard about/done/doing/thinking about doing the 30 day shred? Well in 57 days(no I'm not counting!) I'm going on holiday. I understand that being a size 8/10 isn't a big size, so I don't really need to diet, however I am the heaviest I have been in a year. So I'm planning on watching what I'm eating and doing the 30 day shred too. My question to you is whether I should do it twice, right after each other, to make it 59 days. Or, only do it in the week. Or, spread each level out over 20 days instead of 10 days to make it longer. Argh! I don't know what to do! Anyway, me and my boyfriend are going to do it together, so we can be beach babes together! It's more about us both feeling confident in beachwear as apposed to needing to loose any weight! If anyone else is doing it, keep me updated, as i'm one that gets bored with things like this SO easily! So does it actually work to any of you that have tried it? And is anyone else going anywhere lovely for their holiday this year?

"After all, tomorrow is another day!"

Everybody has a dream in life, right? Some people's are to do with a house, or a car. Mine, is to own my own clothes shop. It'll be one of them old fashioned tailor shops, where ladies come in and have clothes designed and made for them. I even know what it'd be called, and it'd be next to Prada in London. Harrods and Selfridges would stock some clothes too, as well as other large department styles stores. All major cities around the world would have one of my stores too. There would be 'off the rail' items that people could buy, then tailored clothes, made exactly to people's specifications, and body size. Their clothes would fit like a glove. Dresses can be made like this, but id make all clothes, exactly how the customer would want them. My grandma would work there too, knitting things for me, because I can't knit, and I have no desire to learn either. 

My grandad said to me today, after showing him everything I've made 'you'll be supplying mark and Spencer's soon!' Everybody also has reasons they can't accomplish their dreams, there are currently a few reasons I can't. Funding being a main one, I need to learn how to draw patterns, and to learn you need money, and someone to teach you. However, working nights makes this harder too, as I can't go to night school. Another issue, I need a kick ass sewing machine, another thing that needs a lot of money, of which I don't have. I mean, my sewing machine is adequate, but it just doesn't do all the fancy things it needs to be able to do. Time is another big thing, between working, and spending time with my boyfriend, I sew. It's not enough time to learn, or teach yourself new things. When I deem myself good enough, I will start making small things to sell on, not made to measure though, to try and make some money for my future. If anyone knows of someone/a place that'll teach me how to draw patterns, on the midlands area, can you let me know? And if anyone has any business ideas/ways to start funding my business can you also let me know? If you look at my 'a blog sale page' all money made from there will go towards my business too! I really want to make my dream my life, so I do something everyday that I love! If I dream big, maybe one day ill be big. No point underestimating myself!

'There's no place like home'

Sorry it's been such a while since i did a blog! Here goes! A few weeks ago I found a Facebook business that made beautiful jewellery, at extremely reasonable prices. Not only were items between £1-£5 they were all original and very me. I happened to notice a competition they were running and entered, because you can't win if you don't enter! Yes, I did win, £15 worth of my choice of jewellery. I was so excited! Maybe with how my luck is, ill win the lottery soon! It took me HOURS to choose which items I wanted, and decided on 3 necklaces and 2 sets of earrings. A few days later they arrived, all packaged nicely. 

 I've never really been a jewellery lover, but these items were so vintage. I've worn them all since I got them, and I'm so happy with the quality of them all, especially for the price! They live up to, and exceed my expectations, i would've been very happy to pay £15 and receive these beauties! Lots of people have commented on how beautiful they are! I will definitely be back for more! I'd love for you all to go over to Blahgah Jewellery, and give her page a 'like' and tell her I sent you! You may just find something you fall in love with!

'Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'. That's goddamn right!'

Please help me!!! 

Just a quick post today! I'm looking at buying a film camera. You may have read that i wanted one in my wish list i posted here.(Click!) So I've found two that i love! One comes in two different options. My main worry is getting the films, and getting them printed, and how much that all costs! If anyone knows of any good prices/places to get films developed and where you can buy films let me know! These are my three options (camera option one and two are the same, they just take different films.) Also if you have any other film camera that are within a small budget, let me know! Please note, i may not be buying the certain design, and i won't be spending this much, as i'll be ebaying them!

Option no.1 

Option no.2

Option no.3

The main reason i have found these cameras and i love them is because they look so vintage and bright! So if you have any ideas, make sure they are similar! I know that 35mm films are cheaper to buy and develop, but do 120mm photos look better? I have no idea about these much! But i would love one for my trip to London this weekend so would need to make a hasty decision if i'm going to buy one and which one!
