Right, before I begin, I hope you like the updated design (and if you have had the misfortune of not visiting before, I hope you like the design fullstop). I am not very good at creating backgrounds and changing the fonts and making titles and changing settings and all of that so it is a bit of a struggle for me to come up with something remotely Internet worthy.
Anyway, moving on. Welcome. Again. I tend to have the habit of starting a post on this blog saying how dedicated I am going to be and then not following through, which, for the record, I am not at all like in the real world, but I would like to assure you that I am going to try my best this time to post AT LEAST once a week. And you can hold me to that. This is one of my New Years Resolutions.
My New Years Resolutions:
- Be more organised
- Conduct better time management
- Write a blog post at least once a week
- Healthy eating and lose some more weight <- oh what a cliche
- Get accepted into University.
So moving on from the relentless, often failed, NYR's, I will update on a couple of things I have been up to over the past couple of months. As you have probably already have guessed if you have read this far, this is going to be some-what of a long post but I will try and keep it as 'short-winded' as I cant :)
So, in the run up to Christmas I finished off one of my projects for my college course titled - 'Cloth, Clothing, Craftmaship'. Basically we had to create an original print and use this to create a shirt. Here is the finished piece...
And there was of course, the mad Christmas rush, luckily, I did a lot of my shopping online, I know that defeats the object a bit but I did manage to get a few bits from little treasure troves here and there and when I went to London to go to an Open Day, accompanied by my cousin and good friend Alice. This trip definitely got me in more of a Christmassy mood as well, with all of the twinkly lights, and Christmas window displays, Christmassy markets and amazing Christmas themed department stores. Just CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS! As you can tell I am a little bit of a fan. Sorry if you are a cynic, I promise I will stop now. It was a really lovely couple of, very tiring. days, and a great way to kick of the festivities.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, 'bumped into' Gwyneth Paltrow in Harrods kids section. We are practically BFF's now. I know, amazing, she's so lucky :P
Then came Christmas Day, oooops, sorry I lied, more about Chrr... So I had a lovely day visiting Family, had a lovely dinner and was well and truly spoilt rotten with gifts, which I am hugely grateful for. I won't bore you with a list or something of the presents I received but I may do another post soon dedicated to it, including some pictures of my wrapping skills :S, if I can find any pictures of them. Haha.

I always get a bit bummed after Christmas Day as all of the buildup comes to an end and I feel like there is nothing really to look forward to, but I ended up having a really lovely NYE night. I went out with a load of friends, dressed up a bit and drank alot. Apart from one little hiccup from a certain friends ex, whom I will not mention, we had such a good time, especially because I got alot of the drinks bought for me meaning I only ended up spending about £25 including club entry and taxi, and it was a great way to kick off the New Year!

At present I have been back to college for 2 days now. Was most depressing at first but now I have gotten back into it, it isn't so bad. I am starting on a new project which I am so in love with. It's called 'Wonderwall' and if you haven't already guessed the Oasis reference, it is based on the 90's revival which is one of the biggest trends on this season and then next one. I am loving researching all things 90's as I was born in the beginning of them so grew up with the tv shows, movies, books, toys, fashion, and so on, and I have a massive soft spot for it all, even if some of the prints are some what questionable. I will be including parts of my project in my upcoming posts.
That's pretty much it to be honest, I think I have pretty much covered the major bits, sorry if I rambled on, I will create a couple of posts in the near future on Christmas, life and goings on, trends, and more on the amazing, nostalgic 90's revival. Yey.
'til then.
