fingers crossed

i preordered these girls months ago and the final pics are out. arent they cute! loving Mango (L). fingers crossed i get my order as the last 2 i've had have not gone through.

i went to london..

on saturday i went to london and.....


looked at pretty porcelain in Fortnum and Masons..



....bought yummy macaroons from Laduree...

..wandered around side streets, admiring buildings, got excited when i finally found Chanel (for when i can finally afford the 2.55 bag) and worried i would get a parking ticket due to unclear street signage....

spur of the moment days are fun.

a category and a sketch

its new category time over at category stories, with our guest this month being amy lapi! the prompt for this month was '---was one of her very best friends'. my Lo is about my friend nicole and how we always pick up where we left, even though we dont see each other much any more.

I also doubled up this LO for sketch 39 from twisted sketches which used the twist 'fabric'. As you can see, my flower embellies use the twist.

friday faves

I forgot to highlight the links to each photo so im very sorry that no credits are displayed...

yay!

im getting a new car! a hyundai i20 in green!!

ive never had a new car so this is huge for me. i cant wait.

the new sketch is up at twisted sketches, and this week the twist is wood. ive used woodgrain paper for the title, kittyrobot woodgrain buttons and a real wood button. journalling tag from shabby chic crafts and handmade flower.

speaking of shabby chic crafts, have you checked out their new spring items?? yum!

i had a lovely lunch today with someone i work with and her baby. we went to wagamama and had yummy noodles followed by an also yummy starbucks. i bought some clothes and saw my boss in a shop and made a fool of myself. silly.

marcus and myself are currently looking for a house and think we may have found something. only thing is it wont be ready until next year, but that gives us plenty of time to save.

i bought some new eyechips for one of my Blythe's and some new eye lashes, so thats a job for when they turn up. im also going to attempt some freckles.

i had a go on my sewing machine last week and almost threw it out of the window! me thinks i need a new one..

here's my january 52 weeks of blythe..

hey folks, the new sketch is up from Twisted Sketches! Come and play!

if i had a time machine.....

its a new month which means its time for a new challenge over at category stories. this month we're doing 'if i had a time machine' with a sponsor prize from our very own Bre! i used some pp and embelishments from the KI Memories prize pack i won from Ali Edwards blog.

in other boring news, im currently sat in waiting for the garage to come pick my car up for a service. i was expecting them over an hour ago as im going out for lunch...still no sign.

Glee last night was fab. loved their version of Queen 'somebody to love'. gave me goosebumps.

Hoping to add a couple more hats to my etsy. i want to try a few new colours but dont want to buy any yarn if no one will buy the finished products. what do you think? more spring/summer colours for blythe hats?
