Merry Christmas everyone...

Hey my lovelies

My stockings are finished and images and pictures are coming.

Our Christmas decorations are up! I love this time of year and we always put Christmas carols on and enjoy hanging everything up : )

I have just finished knitting my brother one if his presents for Christmas, it's only a little present but I will upload some pictures and instructions soon...

In the meantime here are some pictures of our Christmas decorations.

Even Minnie and Mickey mouse get Christmas decorations : )

Then once we put the Christmas decorations we sit, relax and watch it's a wonderful life!

Merry Christmas!

Whats been happening...

Hey my lovelies
Sorry I haven't posted anything recently I have been really busy at home and at work, but hopefully now things are sorted : ).

Just thought I would keep you updated on what's been happening. My Christmas stockings are done! and I am so pleased with them. Pictures and instructions coming soon but there is a picture on instragram if you follow me.
There will be a few more knitting projects in the next few weeks so watch this space...

Also I am trying to find some old maps to do the love heart maps DIY picture frame but I have been really struggling but don't worry I will find some soon : )

We had to babysit on Friday night, which was not what I had in mind for a Friday night but it had to be done : /. Anyway here is a picture of what I did with my hair...

It was just a simple side plait with my fringe in a deep side parting. I find copying peoples hair styles really difficult cause my hair is impossible sometimes and the hairstyle never comes out like it should. This was done on 2 day old hair and if it can be done with my hair and look ok then it can be done on anybodies hair : )

Hope you enjoyed reading

A bit about puff daddy...

Hi my lovelies

This is not about the rapper puff daddy but about these...

I love them!

They are from Christian Meinderstsma but they might be out of a lot of people's price range so Pickles has made one herself and allows people to use the pattern.

I am thinking of doing one when we move house they would work so well as a comfy foot stool or as a work of art if you stack them on top of each other.

Hope you enjoyed reading : )

A bit about knitting a snood...

Hi my lovelies

I have finished my snood!

And here it is....

The pattern goes as follows

I used size 6 1/2 mm needles with the thickest wool I could fine. The colour is a light cream but you could do it in any colour you want.

~Step 1 ~

Cast on 90 stitches (I worked length ways)

~Step 2 ~

Work 2 Knit, 2 purl for 3.5"

~Step 3 ~

Work garter stitch for 10 rows

~Step 4 ~

Work 2 knit, 2 purl for 3.5"

~Step 5 ~

Cast off
~Step 6 ~
Sew up the middle and attach whatever buttons you fancy
DONE!

Here are a few pictures...

The only thing I would possibly change, if I had to change something, would be the width I think it would be worth it to make it bigger, like 100 or 110 stitches but its up to you.

Hope you like it : )

Any questions I will try and answer

Autumn Weekend...

Hi my lovelies

Hope your all had a nice weekend!
Just thought I would share a few pictures from my autumn weekend. My extended family came down from Wales so all in all it was a really nice weekend.

As you can see from the picture above Adam (my fiancee) was having a game of tug of war with millie and  her toy rat (aptly named Ratty), don't worry for the people out there who think ew! he has a dogs toy in his mouth, it was a new toy and no doggy germs were on it when he placed it in his mouth. 

We have a small farm at the top of our garden and this little fellow is one of animals, he hasn't got a name so any good names, leave in the comments!

Millie likes to sit on the bench with her new toy : ) 

Dad, dog and new toy 

Hope you enjoyed reading : )

Coming Soon...

Hi my Lovelies

Just a quick note to say a knitting project will be coming soon.
I think a winter snood is in order as the weather in Yorkshire is starting to get a bit nippy

A bit about pets...

Hi my lovelies

I thought today I would tell you about my pets : )
We do have a dog but she is more of a family pet as she lives with my mum and dad. As you can see from the picture below she is a cutie. My mum and dad got her when a woman at my mums work didn't want her any more so she just gave her to us.

She was treated badly before and it took all the family a long time for her to trust us. She is still nervous around strangers but she gets better all the time : )

I know a lot of people will say their pets have a personality but millie is something all together she has got such a character and in the coming months I will try and upload images of what she gets up to cause some of it is just unbelievable.
Watch this space...

A bit about me...

Just thought I should tell people a bit about myself : )

My name is Amy and I live in Yorkshire in the UK, I live with my fiancée and his cat but we will get to them later on.

To get things started I will say that I love crafting and making things, I like experimenting with fashion and hairstyles (to a certain degree), just learnt how to knit, I also like food, especially chocolate, and to say I am a chocoholic is a HUGE understatement, I am getting married next year to my amazing fiancée and for the wedding I am creating a lot of the stationary, favours, centre pieces etc. I love relaxing with a good book and can spend hours just sitting in the sun reading : ), I love dogs and have a black Labrador retriever as our family pet.

I graduated university in May with a degree in ICT and now have a grown up job with responsibilities and everything. One of the reasons I started this blog is to help me deal with my job and sometimes everyday life as I suffer from panic and anxiety.

I love my family and especially my fiancée cause if it wasn't for him I would have been lost years ago.
Hope you enjoyed reading and it gave you an insight into what type of person I am
