About me!

Coming soon! Honest!

Long time.

I've been very absent from the world of blogging for quite some time, I suppose that i've been feeling a tiny bit uninspired, and Freya has been keeping me fairly busy to say the least.

A few things have happened, some productive but most of the time I find it difficult to tidy the house and do the washing up, nevermind focus on being creative. I've set up a small sweet treats business called Sweetly Sweetly, where I do car boots when I can and custom orders. I enjoy making cakes but it's not where my heart lays. I secretly have a dream of making beautiful animals and dolls, painting and drawing all day. I'll get there one day I know I will! I just need my motivation to kick start and last.

Anyhow, Freya's growing so beautifully.

And breathe...

Yes. Renegade has come to the UK. I've never been so happy! I even let out a little scream when I found out. I've been secretly wishing it would come over here, in fact it was making me miserable that America seems to have such a wide variety of wonderful craft fairs, there doesn't appear to be a lot over here. It's the first ever on October 8-9th from 11am-6pm. I have every intent of going, and even more intent on having a stall next year.

Bedroom Decor.

I moved house a few months ago, and my house is in desperate need of some love. I think i'll start on the bedroom first. I just LOVE these photo's for inspiration. I'll be starting making myself a quilt this weekend, it'll probably consist of my two favourite colours, pale pink and teal. Im lucky enough to have a versailles look-a-like dresser and adore the idea of the lovely neat bra's in the drawers like in the first picture. It's always the little things that make a room lovely for me.

In other news! - I've attempted a clay dolly who isn't going to wonderful. I don't know what's wrong with me, I just can't stick to one craft, I have to start and try something new before i've even finished what i'm doing. It's so irritating. But i was really inspired by the black apple her blog is so lovely and filled with lovely-ness, her ability to create as much as she does has really pushed me in the right direction to get my bum in gear. My shop will exist by the end of the year, I promise myself it will. I'm still sticking with the name Quilted Chivalry, i'm not sure why I like it so much, or even where I got it from.

I'm also going to learn photoshop as soon as possible, to help out with banners/images ect. As I should, SHOULD (fingers crossed) be getting my camera this weekend, I've been trying to get one on credit but can't, so i'll be going in store to sort something out. I can't wait!

Swing.

A little wish of mine has always been to learn to dance. Before I became fascinated with the 50's I remember growing up watching my grandparents dancing and it was the most magical thingi've ever seen. The only thing stopping me is nobody I know is interested in the same things as me! There are classes in a nearby town, which i've been tempted to go to. I just doubt there would be many that would go alone!

I have to share this song, its a new favourite.
