Self Portrait

Self Portrait


The other weekend I worked on a little self portrait (including Moby) for my blog and social media.
I love the way it turned out, and though I have made a few tweeks from the photograph it has made it more of a creative illustration. 
What do you think?

Finished piece - Pencil, Watercolour, Black Fine Liner Pen.

Wednesday Wishlist

Wednesday Wishlist


I've put together a little wishlist of all the great things I have found online recently that I would love to buy.
Hopefully you see something you will also like for yourself or to buy as a gift.

1. Dinosaurs Greeting Card from ladybirdlikes. Found on Etsy.
I'm having a real love/obsession with all things dinosaur recently, just can't get enough. 
Ladybirdlikes has a number of great jewellery and accessory items I have my eyes on as well. 


I actually found Cat & Bot website through her Youtube channel which I love.


3. Jewellery (more specifically the figure necklaces) from frommybearhands. Found on Etsy.
Super cute and unique, I think these are brilliant.

Need I say more?

I've been a fan of Irregular Choice shoes ever since I bought my first pair age 18. 
They are beautiful creations of Inspiration.

Diy Shoes

Diy Shoes


The other weekend I bought myself some really basic black pumps from Primark with a view to add decorations myself. I did the same thing last year with some Asda pumps, and since they are now on their last legs I thought I would create something new.

I wanted them each to be fairly plain or a simple colour scheme so they can be worn with most outfits.
On the first pair I have gone for three simple buttons in a pastel colour scheme, and on the second a line of leaf shapes mini beads in black and white. 

The pumps were £4.00 a pair from Primark and they are super comfy. 
The beads/buttons (no idea of price as they were just in my button tin - spares from clothing/bracelets or my university days) you will be able to pick out a couple of nice buttons or a small pack of beads for a couple of pounds at a local haberdashery. 
I've just hand stitched each item onto the shoe with needle and thread making sure each are looped on a couple of times to keep them secure.

Unique pumps that you have created yourself.

Recent green-ish thumb

Recent green-ish thumb


Recently I've gotten really into 'light' gardening. I say light because it is by no means strenuous or massively time consuming as I know gardening can be. All my plants come in pots or planters and a lot of them are starter kits. Anyway my light gardening started with a trip to Ikea where I picked up this little herb growing kit of Coriander, Basil and Thyme(above). It came with the seeds/soil/metal container and was really easy to get going. I did have a little trouble with my thyme at first but she has perked right up now.


I then saw these little grow your own veggies pots in Wilkinsons for a mere 25p a pot so I thought I would give them a try, and just this past week my rocket and tomato plants have begun to sprout - but the bell pepper and chilli pepper are still to make an appearance.


With my most recent trip home my mum really stocked me up with plants and flowers. 
She gave me two flowering plants in terracotta pots along with a pepper and tomato plant (above).
Some more flowering plants below - sorry I have forgotten the names.


Then some foxgloves.
I'll give another update when they are all flowering.


Then we have the plants I have managed to keep alive from last year. Yay.
Two strawberry plants and a rosemary. I'm really enjoying it this time, and I hope to add more to my collection soon.
