Hello :) 

Finally, this morning I managed to get Lily to sleep for a little while somewhere other than in my arms! I took this opportunity to do my hair and pick out some jewelry to wear. This is a big difference to my usual getting dressed routine at the moment, which tends to be dash around super fast grabbing the first top and jeans I see and chuck my hair into a ponytail before Lily starts crying because I'm not holding her! So while this outfit may be quite boring, to me it was a big achievement!

The necklace I'm wearing is one of my favourites, I found it in a cute little handmade gift shop last year at the gardens where my graduation was held. The ring I'm wearing is one I made, more like this will be going up in the shop soon!

My little Lily wore her 'I love you mummy' baby grow today, one of my favourites! She is getting so big and changing so much already. She will be a month old on Sunday, which has come so fast! I love my little strawberry :)

How are you all?

this feels like falling in love...

I'm so lucky at the moment. The weather is amazing (that first picture is of the sky. Not a single cloud!), I feel better than I have done in a long time, I have a pretty little strawberry blonde who enjoys being carried around in our new sling all day, which means my hands are free to get in my studio and start making things again! I have been making some little flower rings, necklaces & I've been sewing again. I feel very content and happy!

I don't even mind very much that I have a little baby weight to get rid of and no time to do anything exciting to my hair or clothes! I have been living in ponytails, jeans and boring tops. I'm determined I wont become a frumpy mum though! Once I can fit in my clothes again and have a better routine I will spend a bit more time on myself!

The new bits and bobs I've been making will be going up in the shop this week, and I'm hoping to do an Easter craft ideas post too! 

Has anybody got any exciting plans for Easter?

flowers & glitter

I've had a very busy week, working lots of hours, but work has gone all christmassy this week and I love it! I have to wear our christmas makeup range and glitter all over me,  I have been decorating the shop, we have had our christmas candles burning, giving customers christmas makeovers and listening to christmas music! 


my long hours meant I didnt have much of a halloween though. I worked late at work, came home and fell asleep! My brother gave me some of his sweets from trick or treating though :)


I have been getting in the christmas mood lately and getting ready for christmas craft fairs and stock for my etsy shop. I have been making some pretty new jewelry with resin flowers and some christmas decorations made out of cinnamon salt dough that make the house smell amazing! I will be putting them up in my shop soon, I hope you all love them :)


And our little Lily. I love being able to really bond with my little girl now I know her gender and name. and she is getting ever so strong and giving me lots of kicks. she even kicked her daddy in the face when his head was on my tummy, hehe! We have been buying lots of pretty little clothes for her and gifts, and I have started reading to her too! I read that if you read a certain story to baby's in the womb they recognise them when they are born and it soothes them. We have been reading Charlie and Lola :) She really responds to my voice now, it's so lovely!


How are you all? are you in the christmas mood yet? did you have fun halloweens?
