Let everything else float on by

This week I've been pretty much alone, I've come home for the Summer from university so everyone else in my family is still occupied with work and school, what a snooze fest. But saying that, it has let me get on with fitness DVDs and do some sewing in peace and quiet. I wore a completely perfect outfit the other day for such an occasion of slobbery:

Light and comfy, and when the not so summery night began to draw in I just chucked on a denim shirt and hey presto. The racer back top is from urban outfitters and I'm absolutely in love with the top plus the leggings combo. I can see it becoming one of my summer wardrobe staples.
But anyway, onto a success story. I completed a scatter cushion! A cupcake tapestry with crochet lace... My first cushion! It's rather wonky but I'm sure it'll look absolutely fine once it's been stuffed to the brim! The tapestry was a gift from my boyfriend and the cushion an old one that needed a bit of a makeover. I only had to buy the crochet trim and the stuffing which came to £5.39 all together, pretty cheap for a unique cushion I'd say! I'm so happy with the result.

But now I've finished my first sewing project I just can't stop, and I'm in the middle of doing two cross stitches which I'll be able to photograph once they've been completed. It gives me something to do!

It's a new dawn, it's a new day.

Nikki,

Guess what? You're back to blogging again! Well this is the beginning of the motion anyway, this is your space on the big bad Internet. Your space to write about exactly what you want, and post pictures of anything you want.

It's the Summer, the holiday in-between your first and second year of university. And what do you have planned? Absolutely nothing! Just chill out. Use this space to log your craft projects, no matter what stage of progress they are at, your purchases and the important events in your life.

Remember the google advert you saw the other day? The dad writing emails to his daughter... Remember the tear it brought to your eye? Remember the feeling you got when reading the time traveller's wife over the past week? They inspired you to do this, they motivated you and gave you the drive. If you ever get readers of the blog, don't worry, no one ever reads the first post. (If someone other than me, myself and I is reading this HEY, you're one of very few!)

Let's hope this blogging stint is longer than the previous one,
Let's look forward to the future, but also remember that the here and now is just as important.

Love,
Nikki.
