The Yesterday

Firstly, sorry for the splurge of posts yesterday, ever get one of those days where you just have too many ideas in your head to save for later? Yeah. With my memory it's best to get them all out at once!

Wasn't yesterday gorgeous (UK'ers at least?), I couldn't help but be cheered...even work didn't deter my enthusiasm for the weather, my desk gets the morning sun and with the window open I could have been outside.
Walking home, no coat on and bare arms was the most delightful feeling.

Anyway, enough waxing lyrical about the weather; I am a true Brit! Here's what I wore.





You can't really see but the tights are patterned on the front and block black on the back (thanks Hannah!)



Accessorised with Timex watch (ugh to the time!) and Ruby Rae Love bracelet

And my all-time favourite necklace from Go Jewellery



And lastly,
now I know Matt has received his fiver challenge parcel, here is what I made.





I can't believe it is Thursday already...seriously time...what is going on?

P.S. tomorrow is the closing date for the London Wishes giveaway...enter now!

Fun with a Fiver

Some weeks ago I was contacted by the lovely Michelle from the charity YouthNet asking if I'd like to be involved with a project they were via TheSite.org

They are hosting a competition on their facebook page where people tell them what they would do with a fiver (£5) and to kick it off they wanted to enlist some bloggers,
so along with other fab bloggers such as MJ and Kavita I hopped on board!

The challenge involved creating something with a fiver and sending it on to the person next in the chain, in return you received what the person before you had created.

The person before me happened to be Kavita

I picked up my parcel on Saturday and here is what she made (I am so in awe of her skill!)









I am actually in LOVE.

It's been really interesting to see how creative people get, MJ for example made an incredible clutch bag!
I'll post what I've made when Matthew receives it...it was much harder than I thought to create something for a boy, I must admit!

I also found this octopus lurking in the parcel, AMAZING
