A New Direction, An Old Pleasure

After working more or less non-stop for a year and a half in a job going nowhere. Doing something that i have no plans to be doing for the rest of my life i decided to get my hours cut down a bit so i can focus on my designing a bit more 

so i finally went and bought myself a dress making mannequin i went 3 years of university without one but i have now finally got my very own 

maybe this will give me the push/motivation i need to start doing more in designing as i have dearly missed it and wanted to start it up again for so long 

so fingers crossed i take it up properly 

i saw this on ebay and thought it is time this is the perfect time to start up again its cheap enough and better to put my wages to good use otherwise id just end up buying more dvds and underwear even though those two are loves of mine haha.

Next thing on the list is Pattern Cutting Paper 

so for now i will leave you with a picture/design of what i'm working on at the moment i started this in uni a few years back but never finished it due to not knowing how and time management so i thought before starting something new all together id finish the un-finished 

the project outline was "Hireath " we had to come up with a collection based one something to do with wales and its history so i looked at Saint David's Day (also my birthday)  so my collection developed in the direction of flowers/cakes and wools 

the trousers in this design were finished but the blouse never got finished as i had trouble with planning/manufacture of the flower on the blouse but now i hope to finish it.

watch this space xoxo

bye for now 

Date

The Dating Game Does AnyOne Still Play?

So been talking to a guy and was asked if i'd like to go on a date sometime i said yes of course.

Then he asked "what sort of dates perfect for u?"
and i then realized i've never really been on a date not because i haven't wanted to just more to the point of never been offered that much and not by people i have liked or not even by people i have been seeing, as seeing is just dating with out dates.

So any you guys been on dates recently?
Are they still done?
What's the prefect date if one exists?

He also said "How can you have Boyfriends without Dates?"

Question to you : Do you believe that you can have Boy/Girlfriends without actual dates?

Because i've dated people without actual dates. I think i have been on one date in the past 5-6 years and not to sure it was an actual date LMAO

universal message of the sweet kind

Today while in work i had a craving for bakewell tart and a few hours later while on my lunch break with one of my coworkers i mentioned it and she asked me why?

 So i told her how me and my grandmother would cut a whole bakewell tart in half and share it. i saw some on offer at sainsbury's and just had to buy it.

I had a phone call off my cousin but couldn't answer it due to being in work so i text her when i had finished asking her if why she had called then she replied that it was so i could point her in the direction of our grandmother's grave and didn't think anything of it. I made my trip home and emptied my bag and i pulled out the bakewell tart i had bought and it hit me Today 13th june 2012 was the anniversary of my grandmothers death 

So it would seem that the universe was sending me a message of past/but much loved sentimentality without me even knowing it.

So R.I.P nanny Always Missed and Never Forgotten XoxO <3

So A question to You has anything like this happened to you where you've wanted something you get it and then find out there's a deeper meaning behind it without the realization of the fact?.

Good Old Days

Saying it at only 24 years old sounds rather depressing but if hit that point where you miss the people that mean the most to you and where conflicting schedules make it almost impossible to meet up or its got to the point where sadly grown apart it happens to the best of people where you say to yourself that no matter what you'll stay in touch but at the end of the day it unfortunately doesn't happen. I came to that revelation just the other day there i was out with colleagues and it hit me i just missed some dear friends i was sitting in a club where they play all the oldies and they where songs that me and very good friends would be dancing and singing at the top of our lungs to but the company i was in where really separated there wasn't a close friend atmosphere it made me actually bored and that wasn't so Fun.

So just wanted to share that with you guys and see if any of you guys had this feeling?

how many people can you fit in your bath tub? haha. this is one thing i miss total drunken random moments with friends deciding to see how many people would fit in the bathtub and we still got more in haha

one things for sure i need to not let work be the centre of my life even though it is.

Jade's Legacy

Just finished watching a documentary on Sky Living about Jade Goody called  Jade's Legacy: The Fight Goes On

Its been three years since jade died and since then screenings for cervical cancer so all i have to say is no matter how scary you think it maybe its vital that people get tested Spread the News make sure people know, make sure they get the test that could hopefully save their life.


sky Living has created an app Called Release Your Butterfly to pledge that everyone remembers Jade's Legacy


Make Sure You Have A Look- read about the cause  and watch the documentary

Views of the O2

 

Light fixture inside the O2 Arena 

Costa Coffee and other restaurants- i love this architecture as a designer this would be an amazing inspiration for patterns.

Leaving the Cinema on one of the balcony's 

The O2 Lit up after the concert

London

                                                            London Town

Went to London to with my mum and sister as they were going to the O2 Arena to see Westlife's Farewll Tour.
Had so much i was going to do while they were traveling to the Arena but of course that didn't happen as they weren't confident on knowing where they was going.

So first we got a bit lost on the way to the hotel haha, which took a bit longer than hoped so going to explore the V&A like i have done previously but this time i had a list of things i so wanted to see but nevermind there's always next time

ME and My Sister at the Hotel about to leave for the O2


Had a few hours to kill so went to so went to watch Avengers  at Cineworld loved the movie the sound was totally immense is im guessing thye do this to drown out any sound from the concert the picture and action was brilliant.  One thing i was a bit gutted never saw Thor's girl in this one haha Chris Hemsworth is a popular man this summer :P  so what you guys thought of the movie
