Heya guys, sorry for the lack of blogs, but unfortunately our uni house has no internet and won't do for another 2 weeks, the horror and frustration of which is indescribable! Currently swapping homemade cakes for internet at friends' houses (which is working well so far), but I'm also suffering from the absence of a sewing machine and fabric. In the meantime though I can provide a new top five songs for this month which I am currently listening to in Cafe Nero (hence having internet).

1. Welcome Home, by Radical Face
2. Walk on By, by Noosa
3. Creature, by Penny and Sparrow
4. Dirty Paws, by Of Monsters and Men
5. Hello my Old Heart, by The Oh Hello's

And pretty much anything by Fat Freddy's Drop or Jack Savoretti who will both always have a place in my musical heart :)

Using this blog my mum made me this wonderful leaving gift to go back to uni with- Humphrey the humpback whale (in caricature :P )

This is the product of my day's work. It isn't quite finished yet, but will be later this evening, I realise now the last VW is wonky... but in the words of my mum when looking at imperfections in textiles "it adds character".

There are some really poignant and meaningful endings in here, worth a quick flick through.

Continued from Saturday

Henna-time :D Will be adding more to the bottom one when I have the time (Monday possibly)

Sorry for the lack of blogging- I've been working unsociably long hours for a newspaper in London to earn some much needed money, which hasn't left me with much time, well for anything really! Last week before I go back to uni, which means a lot of things to do: making cushions, pincushions, cute stuffed elephant chains, anything else I have time for really in-between seeing friends and relatives.

The top three photos were taken on my phone whilst at the Oxted & Edenbridge Show (we go most years) in the flower tent, the last proves how early I've been getting up to work in London as this was the beautiful sunrise on Thursday :)

Saw this shared on facebook today and am now seriously considering doing something similar in my room (which I have spent all day cleaning, so proud of myself for finally doing it after putting it off since I've been back from Cornwall!)

Bunting! 

Had great fun quickly making this with my mum- I've been looking forward to this all summer, and now have 5m (maybe 6m by next week) all ready for my uni room :) Now to just make the cushions for our living room!
