I think this may be my quietest year, convention wise, since I started 🙁 – That pesky thing called money limiting the amount I can go too! Well, not so much the money, but that it’s now spent on other things – like bills. Here’s a run-down of the ones I’ll be attending this year (since I suck at keeping my events page up to date – haha): Memorabilia Show…

Valentines Day 2014
I don’t celebrate Valentines Day as a rule – I think it’s just a silly commercial holiday slapped in between Christmas and Easter. Having said that, I do seem to end up doing something – whether I’m a relationship or a singleton. This Valentines Day, I worked 08:30 – 16:00 and came home to this in the living room:- Basically a dozen red roses displayed over the house in small…

Wardrobe Organisation and Starter Shopping List
I’ve been meaning to sort through my wardrobe(s) and chest of drawers for some time now. They’re full of clothing I no longer wear for a number of reasons and items (such as board games!) that should really have a home elsewhere. Today I decided enough procrastinating/excuses and to actually make a start! First I took everything out of my wardrobes and my chest of drawers and dumped on my…

Restoring a vintage wicker shelving unit
This wicker shelving unit has been in my parents house for as long as I can remember. I’m not sure how old it is, but it was my Gran’s. It used to be in my parents living room, then when I moved out, made its way to my bedroom for storage. I’ve always liked it and was told take it or we’re binning it (!) – so I did. 🙂…

My Favourite Novelty Cakes as a Beginner
One of my favourite hobbies is baking and I’ll often bake a cake for friends and family on their birthdays. Whether that’s a single tier cake, cupcakes, cheesecakes, or even experimenting with novelty cakes. It’s a great way to learn more about my hobby, especially as a beginner, and do something nice for my loved ones, too. My first novelty cake was a snooker cake for one of my friends…

Winter is Coming
Winter is Coming – It’s definitely getting colder lately! The clocks went back last weekend (27th October) in the UK, so the days are shorter and it’s getting darker a lot earlier. 🙁 The thing I love about this time of year though is how colourful it is! Leaves changing colour, dropping from trees and going ‘crunch’ under foot. 🙂 I also love Halloween and fireworks! What I’m not loving…

Moving into our new home!
We’ve been in our new home for over a week now (nearly the end of the second week in fact! – We moved June 15th) and it’s starting to look homely. 🙂 Here are a few photos of the house so far which Artur took on his new GoPro. We still have some unpacking to do (so you won’t be seeing the spare bedroom 😉 ) but it’s coming along…

Easter 2013
Happy Easter to those who celebrate it and happy Monday to those that don’t. 🙂 I’ve just had a lovely four day weekend. Here’s a quick run down of what I did: Good Friday Traditionally in the UK we eat fish on Good Friday (so my mum tells me), usually smoked haddock. I’m not a fish lover so skipped that tradition! Instead mum and I went to the cinema to…
