I'm starting my masters in Edinburgh this September, and so I spent this weekend hunting for somewhere to live! I'm so excited to live in a city that I love, and looking at flats (and decorating them in my mind) is one of my favourite activities.

I'm sorry I haven't posted in such a long time. I had deadlines, and then I was partying to celebrate the end of deadlines, and then I was sleeping to recover from all the partying.

Over the summer, I had lots of fun dying and bleaching clothes. The first thing I did is tie-dye some t-shirts, which is pretty simple but really fun!
(You can tell these pictures aren't recent, it's nowhere near as summery as that now, sad times.)
Here's how to do it:
You will need: A white (or light coloured) t shirt, salt, rubber bands, fabric dye (I use powder dylon dye), rubber
