DO IT YO DANG SELF! NYE!!

I love New Years Eve almost as much as I love Christmas. 

Any reason to dress up and drink sparkly drinks is good by me!

I wanted to have a tiny shindig at my place before we head off to The Cube for the evenings festivities.

In my quest for inspiration I found myself on Pinterest. 

Here's some of my favourite tips,tricks,& photos. (p.s. You can now find us on Pinterest!)

Itching for Halloween!

I'm absolutely itchy with Halloween spirit! I keep peeping into supermarkets and 

shops hoping for Halloween decs. 

To tide me over I  found the little cuties!

I adore anything vintage and sorta creepy.

What to do when it starts raining again...

My most favouritist part of summer is a glorious picnic. There is nothing like sitting under a tree on a blanket,and getting grass between my toes, and watching life just happen.

That's what I miss the most when winter approaches.  So when I saw this picture on Design Sponge I knew I had to share it with everyone. A miniature picnic! It comes with grass standard and the best views!

photos found here.

I think this is the loveliest present you could give a friend or yourself.  Full post and diy here.

Who would you give a suitcase picnic?

Horsey faces.

I probably  link to this blog far too many times, but today I noticed this tutorial. If you are like me, you cannot have enough cushions in your life!  And it looks like an easy project as well!
