Lincolnshire - High Field

This weekend was yet another beautiful autumnal few days! We took a trip to my Gran and Grandpa's to help out in the garden, and I took the opportunity to take a few snaps! I'm afraid this is going to be a very photo heavy post!

Autumn Bucket List

This autumn is shaping up to be beautiful! The colours of the leaves are spectacular! I want to be productive this autumn, and try and do more regular posts on here. I work best when given a list of specific goals that can be looked through and completed one by one!

1. Go for a walk in the forest

                                               

2. Bake Viennese finger biscuits

3. Find the perfect pair of cosy boots

4. Try out Lomography

5. Do a night time outdoors photo shoot, using fairy lights

Moving On

Yesterday was my brothers last day at school, until him hopefully moves on to University College London. Its hard to put into words, but there was a whole feeling in the school of things changing. There have been rumours of new arrangements and school hours being muddled around, but everyone knows someone who is not going to be seen around the corridors any more. Whether a sibling or a friend. There was a hint of sadness at the end of the day. It just hit me that everything is changing.

On another subject, in three weeks I will be going with my language class to Germany for an exchange trip. Everyone is massively excited! So I hope there will be many photo's to share with you after that!

Also, I have applied to be an extra in a TV drama series! Fingers crossed that will all work out :)
I'm hoping to take singing lessons soon too, after being inspired by a trip to see 'The Phantom Of The Opera' in Manchester. I really want to be involved in that kind of thing when I'm older!

The Etsy List

Its come round to that time, where I am admiring other people's handiwork on the Etsy handmade pages! I can't get over just how clever people are with their hands. So here are my top five pieces this April.

emandsprout - red fox shoes

shirae - healing art print

Linnette G - Red Heart Hard iPhone Shell

signarama -  London underground posters

JoyMerrieManpaperie - Sketchbook for things to remember

The Sewing Cafe

Last Weekend I went to stay with my Auntie and Grandma. It was a really fun stay! Near them, there is a newly opened sewing cafe, which my aunt was dying to try out, but had to no-one who liked sewing to go with. So when I turned up, it was the perfect opportunity! When we arrived, it was a lovely atmosphere! The principle behind it is a internet cafe, however instead of computers, there are sewing machines! There is also a beautiful range of fabrics to choose from which were all beautiful. I thought that this was a wonderful chance to make the plush fox that www.abeautifulmess.typepad.com has a tutorial for on her blog!
So we bought along some stuffing and buttons, chose our fabrics and begun to sew!

My Magical Rainbow Adventure

I saw a youtube video the other day, showing how to make amazing multicoloured pictures using crayons!

I thought my days of crayon pictures were over when I left primary school, but not so!

I did a video response on Youtube of me creating my picture and I thought you guys might like to see it too!

Honestly, you have to give it a go, its the easiest thing ever, you just need to be careful and have a bucket load of patience when it comes to removing the fiddly paper wrapping from each crayon...

oh and yeah. ~I just realised. I got the guys name who I did the response to WRONG.

My face is red now.

And he is *quite* popular on youtube.

Ahh well, maybe he'll like the new version I made up better and CHANGE his name!?

~.~ so embarassed right now.
