Completing Pencil Case

Hi !!!
I always seem to start lots of project but never get round to finishing them. In my lounge I have a basket (about to overflow) of unfinished projects and things to mend. This weekend I decided it was time to delve in and start finishing things I had started many months ago.

I had started making this pencil case ages ago, I used the fabric from an old skirt for the lining and everything else I found around the house. To my surprise it didn't take long at all to finish, only about 10 minutes. I really like how it has turned out and I wish I had finished it earlier.

Hope to write again soon !!!

Tiger Print Pocket Square

Hi !!!
For an art project I have been studying tiger prints and I have looked at the patterns of their stripes. I used this as inspiration to make a pocket square. I designed a pattern, silk painted it, made it into a pocket square and then photographed it.

I really like the design and the outcome and when I was browsing the internet I couldn't find anything like it.

Happy 1st Birthday !!!

Hi !!!
This is just to say Happy Birthday, one year ago today I started my blog.


I had wanted to this for a while but I didn't know what I wanted to blog about. After browsing other peoples blogs, I had an idea of what I wanted to write about and did it ... However as time has gone on this blog has done what I wanted it to, what I have blogged about has changed during this year and I have found what I am interested in - photography, so this blog has given me a reason to take photos. I have really enjoyed blogging this year and it seams to have flown by and I look forward to what the next year brings...

Hope to write again soon !!!

Very very Muddy Walk

Hi !!!
Recently I have tried to find new places to walk and as a result I have been walking more. I have been on a few walks where the weather has not been good so I have no good photos from them.

I have just been on a walk near Summer Leys. The walk was a bit muddy for my liking and in place I was carrying a lot of mud with my on my boots (sooooo heavy). It was a really nice walk apart from the mud and towards the end of the walk I got to see a murmuration. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of that as at the beginning of the walk I dropped my camera in about 2" of mud (I couldn't have picked a muddier spot), so instead of my camera I used my friends and the shutter speed was not fast enough to get any good photos of the murmuration.


Hope to write again soon !!!

From the Old to the New(ish)

Hi !!!
I have never really liked change and will always stay with the old for as long as possible rather than switching to the new.

I have no clue how old my Nokia brick is or how long I have had it, but all I know is it was starting to wear a little too much for my liking, as:
  • 3 tiles were cracked (2 on the way)
  • Silent didn't work
  • It randomly received texts from months ago
  • Has hardly any memory for texts
  • Doesn't always receive texts
  • Doesn't receive mass texts
So with New Year coming up I thought it was time for an "upgrade", a friend had very kindly given me an old iPhone 3(I don't know what) that they weren't using and didn't want. After it had sat round the house for I while I finally thought it was time to switch and the New Year was a perfect time to do so.

New Year ... New phone


Although I don't completely know how to use it and don't have many of my previous contacts, I am gradually learning and so far I am glad I changed!


Hope to write again soon !!!
