Easter and Excuses

So. Let's start with Happy Easter and move onto my excuses for not blogging *wince*.

1. My whole family had flu and all I did for 2 weeks was sit on the sofa watching Next Step re-runs and eating yogurt. I had forgotten how amazing Muller fruit corners are.

2. Straight after the flu I had to dance every Friday, Saturday, Sunday for three weeks and slept the weekdays. No kidding.

Am I forgiven? Probably not but I tried....

So, did you have a good Easter?

I got a very adorable toy rabbit and some chocolate!!
I now have the difficult job of naming the bunny....Here are the names my friend and I came up with - it's a girl by the way -,

1. Beatrice

or

2. Hero

and if it was a guy we decided it would be called either,

1. Edward Watson

or

2. Kenneth

but it looks like a girl so I think Beatrice is the best option!!

Did anyone guess what 3 of those names mean? The Much Ado about Nothing theme?!!

Anyway I will post soon and get back to regular blogging providing I don't get ill again....

Around the world and back in time for tea


I made this shift with my Ganga and honestly I have had sooo many lovely comments every single time I have worn it out! The first time I was at a pannier market with my friend just casually admiring some candles called something about dragons (??) and then the ladies running the stall were like “where did you get your dress?”

“I made it”

“wow….”

And yah. It kinda spiralled, with a conversation about bowler hats and that pink ladies ad (they assured me they couldn’t do that even though I didn’t ask), I also vaguely remember something about fairy dust, I don’t know maybe they were selling some!


I got the material when I was looking for something to make my curtains out of, so it is actually curtain material! We kinda bought it not knowing what to do with it, just cause the pattern was awesome, but then this came around and I love it! So yah thanks to anyone who said it was cool!
 
 
Looks cute with tights, boots and a denim jacket or I love wearing it with a sporty vibe, like “Yeah, I could bring out my tennis racket any moment”! I’ve never tried playing tennis in this dress, but I am pretty sure it wouldn’t be very practical…. Wear with bare legs and sneakers in a bright colour and a sweatshirt tied around your middle. X

2 months of resolutions, let's take a look back

This time two months ago I posted a resolutions post, like most bloggers. Now I decided to look back and see how I was doing with them!

Blog regularly Well, I think I can tick this one!
 
Try not to break my phone This was always a bit of a silly one, but I am pleased to say that I haven't broken it....yet!
 
Cook more Ahh, yes. Well. This failed drastically. I even forgot this was one of my resolutions until I looked back!
 
Take a run or at least a walk everyday This was never going to work. But I do run or walk about 3 times a week on average, so not exactly, but halfway there?!
 
Dance better  Yeh, well I don't actually know if this is happening? But I am so trying harder.

Ok, basically what happened here is that I didn't follow my own advice. I didn't do the whole organise into small steps, stick stickers on your calendar thing. Nor did I follow advice number 6. which was, Don't give up on small things. Like rain. It is so hard to force yourself to run in the rain. I mean who wants to run down a country lane in the rain? That is basically just like asking to ruin your leggings with mud.

Anyway I think the conclusion of that is, basically:

I suck at keeping at things, except things I want to do, aka blog, dance....xx
