What do you do with finished embroidery? I normally frame it in a hoop but I turned this one into a shoe bag for a special pair.

I'm planning a wall of my Halloween hoop art this year. This new design will hopefully join my others. It's free to download as a pdf on the blog along with lots of others. Why not stitch your pumpkin rather than carve one this year.

First batch of my homemade vodka liqueur looks even better with a lovely label made on my @cricut_uk

Ad-gifted After 18 months of basically living in yoga pants and t shirts at home. I am ready to embrace dressing up when leaving the house. Sadly my underwear drawer has seen better days. ? Thankfully @maidenform sent me two vintage chic bodybriefers. An all in one bodysuit with built in bra and sculpting panels. Available to buy from @amazonuk I haven't looked so well formed in years! ? Swipe to see the before and after photo and the bodybriefers in black and buttercream.

I actually went out-out last night! For the first time in nearly two years, went to see @jonathanpienews at the symphony hall in Birmingham. He diddn't fail to disappoint and I managed to get back home and in bed by half 11. ?

Not the prettiest picture but look at the difference switching to daylight led bulbs has made. Really want to switch in the kitchen now, much better for taking indoor pictures in winter.
