Growing up

"The only constant in life is change."

So why do we find change so hard? Being in your twenties is a time full of change. Filled with excitement for the future and nostalgia for the past.

Those memories of long summers with your friends by your side are fading. Now summer comes around and your friends are scattered around the country or even the globe. Responsibilities, careers relationships and money occupy their time. All you want is to relive those carefree days. But we must remember...

"Growing older is a privilege denied to many."

And I'm grateful, I really am. I just need time. Time to adjust to this new "normal". It wont be long before the pitter patter of tiny feet surround us and we look back on our "carefree twenties" and wonder what we found to worry about.

Christmas

I had a really lovely Christmas this year. Despite an exceptionally poorly week leading up to Christmas I managed to improve enough to be able to enjoy the day!

I got some gorgeous crochet, craft and baking books which I can’t wait to make use of! So, hopefully, now that Christmas is over, I can start some new projects and post more frequently about them. I'm definitely looking forward to working through some new crochet projects and baking more regularly :)

Anyway here is my favourite picture from the day of me and my mum.

Major lack of updates

Whoops, haven’t updated in ages. I’ve been busy starting volunteering towards a vinspired award which is exciting.

I hope to do a crochet post soon as I’ve finished my granny stripes blanket and started a gorgeous new hexagon blanket!

And I’ve been getting super excited and busy planning Christmas! So here’s a couple of festive pictures to get you in the Christmas spirit…

Happy Halloween!

So I’m not normally a big Halloween person but fancied carving a pumpkin this year! It was actually really rather fun!
Here are the results….


And my gorgeous dog sitting with the pumpkin!
It took ages to get her to sit next to the pumpkin because she was scared of it!
Happy Halloween! xxx

Happy days

Its been gloriously sunny for this time of year which has meant a few unexpected trips to the ice-cream van in October!

I also have various crochet projects on the go at the moment.  Will be posting photos when complete! I can’t wait to see the gorgeous alien finished! He just needs 3 eyes and 6 legs!



And as usual I’m getting in to the christmas spirit too early for my family’s liking! But christmas crochet makes me all excited!!

Much love xxxxxxxxx

Orang-utan adoption

So I just adopted an orang-utan from the WWF and this is the adoption pack that arrived :) The teddy is really rather cute and Molly has her eye on it! It was quite interesting reading all about the orang-utans  and the WWF.

 

Cocktails and cakes

So the idea of turning 18 is freaking me out somewhat but, on Tuesday, the girls came round and we had cocktails and cake and I really enjoyed it. It was lovely to see them all, though half a cocktail in and the migraine kicked in but I managed to stop it in time. I <3 Migraleve! And the pain the next day was definitely worth it! I’m not quite so scared about my actual birthday now. I think I’m learning to enjoy it. Age is just a number. Anyway, here are some pictures…
