I'd like to introduce you to a nightmare that kind of worked out in the end: I have a LOT to say about this dress and pattern, but won't bore y'all with it here. Take a squizz at my blog for more details if you are so inclined. I used some beautiful vintage buttons my friend gave me for my birthday to create a kind of yoke detail to make the whole dress a bit more exciting. The dress is made from an...

By now you will have read everyone else's blogs regarding the Fair. Most were quicker off the mark than I, but this is the first opportunity I've had to upload my (blurred) photos. Thankfully a few are OK! I'm so glad I travelled up as far as Almondsbury on the Friday afternoon, to stay in the same hotel as Donna and her lovely Mum. We were greeted with a fair amount of blue sky when we set off on...

I was at Games Day back in September when they were handing out these innocuous postcards.. I grabbed one in passing and stuffed it into my bag without paying much attention to it. About an hour later, while sitting having my 8th cup of coffee for the morning, I fished it out and looked at what it said- Ultramarines - A Warhammer 40,000 Movie. I decorated the table with cheap coffee when it registered....

The first time I used Reversalist, €41.50, from Avon’s Anew range, I knew that it reminded me of something. The texture, the immediate and visible effect on skin, even the smell - almost every element of the product felt very familiar to me. The packaging did not, as was abundantly clear the second time I [...]
