Cosy Revenge Autumn

 Hi darlings x

Happy Halloween!

I got some Halloween chocolates from an LA Chocolate company, my dad got me them as gift when he was in America recently.

New Camisole

I decided to get my sewing machine out, I hadn't done any sewing this year... my sewing machine was in storage and the idea of getting it out just overwhelmed me, like I wasn't in the right headspace.

Anyway, I made a camisole using a UFO fabric I got ages ago. I fell in love with this fabric and I can't believe it has taken me so long to use it. 

The sewing pattern is free from Tammy Handmade, you can click the link here to get the download. It has a scallop neckline, which on mine is... subtle. It doesn't have darts so its very easy to sew other than the slightly fiddly scallops which you can omit if you fancy. I think it is great pattern and I will defo use it again. It is a very quick sew and one of those reliable projects. 

Please overlook the terrible photos-  my back camera was playing up (my phone is 5 years old and the back camera likes to just decide not to work from time to time) and the room has the worst lighting!

I am very happy with this and I just know I am going to wear it allll the time.

Wintery Things

I have started doing some planning for winter and Christmas. I have been putting some money aside weekly for Christmassy gifts and activities. There is going to be a Winter Wonderland style of event in Lewisham this year. I have booked in advance for the Ice Skating... and I am actually excited; I think it will be nice. The location is really lovely.

I have decided to make a few gifts for people this Christmas. I want to make my sis some pyjamas and my friend I will make him some pyjama bottoms. I have the fabric for both projects, so I just need to get cracking and do my best to project manage them to get them completed on time.

I also have like other Christmas craft plans... but its literally fucking November next week so I need to get cracking. I want to make some cross stitch cards.

I have been seeing lots of DIY rosettes on Pinterest (google what I mean) and I think I might make one for my sister- something cute like 'visited by Santa' or 'I am on the good list'. Hopefully you are seeing my vision.

Also I am sort of fancying sewing a stocking for my partner. I don't know I have a lot of idea but you really have to plan ahead to get everything you want to do before Christmas.

I am feeling the Christmas vibes this year- normally I am mentally checked out of Christmas but I am feeling the vibes this year.

Revenge Friday

I was having a convo with someone today about how Friday evening is such a struggle. I don't have a social life tbh so... I am always at home on Friday. But I am too tired to do anything but I am also energised and excited for the weekend. I want to do something but I can't think straight because I am so knackered. I am just couch potato but I am too restless to even focus on a TV Series or a craft project. 

Give me advice if you have any.

I think its my hormones tbh. I am looking forward to a pedi on Saturday morning and yeah just read my book and relax, get a matcha.

Speak soon!
