I think all bloggers can appreciate a good photograph. I mean, obviously a good blog has to have good content, but I would argue that the photography is just as important. My photography has come a long way from where it begun but there is still a lot that I want to work on. Most of my photography inspiration comes from other bloggers, and I find their photography tips really useful. There are lots

The eighth autumn stitching club pattern that I've completed is this yummy stack of doughnuts! I don't really associate doughnuts with autumn time, but they are a good idea any time of the year so it's okay. When I was little and I had a stomach bug my mum would buy me jam doughnuts because that's the only thing I could eat. Most of the recipes on my "food" pinterest board are doughnut based, so maybe

Having a gloomy day? Here's a yellow polka dot rain coat to cheer you up! And some blue wellie boots! Yellow is one of my favourites - I don't own a lot of yellow clothes but it's just the happiest colour.

My most recent Halloween decorations are these ghostly visitors! Ghosts, bats and pumpkins are probably my favourite Halloween characters. I like that these ghosts are so mobile and you can prop them up anywhere. If you have a garden by your front door, you could stick them into the lawn like scarecrows! I think one by itself would also be cute, but I thought if I was making one, I might as well make

As soon as I saw this dress I thought of the 90s, and more specifically, Clueless! Congratulations if you picked up on the Clueless phrase in the title. It's one of my favourite films,and the wardrobe is incredible! If I ever see a plaid yellow skirt suit, I will absolutely be buying it. I still want a computer to help me pick out what to wear in the mornings like Cher's. I found this dress on sale
