Style Saturday - DIY Side Crocheted T-Shirt

Hi everyone,

Happy Saturday, hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. Last week I shared with you all a DIY tutorial on how to make your own knot crop top so this week I thought I would share with you all another DIY tutorial to make a really cute side crocheted T-Shirt. This one takes a bit more skill and sewing but is still an easy make and is a great way to revamp a much loved old t-shirt into something fresh.

Hope you enjoyed this post and thanks for reading my blog

5 Wedding Items I love this week

Hello everyone,

Anyone planning for a wedding? Today I thought I would share with you all some of my favourite wedding items from Etsy. For those of you that don't know, Etsy is an online marketplace for vintage and handmade items. It is where I have my shop and is full of lots of individual shops from independent sellers.

I first wanted to share with you all this stunningly beautiful veil by January Rose Bridal. The veil has been hand sewn and has a delicate lace edge which has been made in the United Kingdom.

These wooden wedding table numbers have been handmade by Tom and Biba in Croatia.

How amazing would it be to have photographs with your wedding guests around these giant tissue paper Pom Poms?! They come in a huge variety of colours and three different sizes.

Elegant bridal hair comb made with freshwater pearls . This hair comb is the epitome of understated elegance and can be gently moulded to fit with your bridal hair.

I love this personalised monogram wedding cake topper and I love the cake they used in the photo too!

Hope you enjoyed this blog post

DIY - Knot Crop Top

Hello everyone,

I know that lots of my blog readers are creative and crafty type of people so I thought I would share a DIY tutorial with you all today. I really like this DIY idea as it is simple, quick to make, cheap and doesn't need any materials or tools apart from a pair of scissors and an old tank top!

How to make a knot crop-top ....

I also think the top looks really cute when it is just tasselled or when it just has some of the first few knots rather than knots all the way down. You could also experiment with dip dying it in a coloured dye for an ombre effect or bleaching it on the fringe.

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial, let me know in the comments below if you do attempt to make this, I would love to hear all about it or tweet me

Item of the week: Enamel apple charm necklace by The Dorothy Days

Hello everyone,

Well I know lots of you are heading back to school or university very soon so I thought I would share with you all my item of the week which is my 'back to school' apple necklace. The necklace will come gift wrapped in a beautiful organza gift bag so would make a lovely 'good luck' necklace for someone who is starting university. It could even be sent to their new university address as a surprise for when they arrive! Or, if you know someone who has recently done really well with their GCSE or A Level exams it could be a great congratulations gift!
