New beginnings

Hi guys :)

This is going to pretty quick, just to let you know that i have started an extension of the blog, but focused more on gardening and self sufficiency 

Feel free to stop by, obviously there isn't much on there at the moment, but do keep popping back and seeing what's new :)

Sewing Up A Storm

 Hi guys! :) 

What a busy week! I have been sewing up a storm! I am determined to have an almost fully handmade wardrobe, that's what its all been about this week!

I finally added some legs to my mannequin, using a pair of old shorts! Ignore the ugly look of her so far, she isn't finished as i ran out of tape! haha.

 I'm going to make a cover for her eventually too, as soon as i get a decent stretchy fabric

I upcycled an old jumper and turned it into a skirt :)

I took the sleeves and made yet another set of slippers (I'm obsessed)

I made another skirt out of an old sheet (i know, i know, it desperately needs ironed)

And finally, i made myself a pair of pyjama shorts! They are far from perfect, and some of the stitching is terrible, so ignore it, but i love them! I didn't have enough material at first, but i added two lace panels on the sides so they fit comfortably :)

I've been baking a lot this week too, making lots of pies for the freezer and ginger snaps and scones! yum!

Marie doing her best meerkat impression, she has grown so much! We have had her 3 weeks today! Already!

Woohoo! A sunbeam! 

She has finally discovered the outside world, and now happily sits for hours watching the birdies :)

I'm off to make some more ginger snaps as they have mysteriously disappeared ;)

A Whole Month!

Hi guys! I can't believe it!We have been in our new home a whole month already!

Where did that go? Did i miss something? 

Apparently we have just had so much fun that the time flew!

So, whats going on with you guys? I have had so many new followers (Thank you so much!) 

The Bearded Wonder and i had plans to WALK to the town today for some much needed supplies....well, i'm looking out of my window and declaring a snow day! It is so windy right now that it is rattling my letterbox!

Marie and i have made the executive decision to stay inside ;)

Marie has also decided to use the time wisely and work on her (non existent) tan

You may have noticed that i have changed the name of my lovely blog. Don't worry, i shall still be posting as The Undomestic Diva, but i shall be adding more, such as cat and dog related products,advice etc etc :) 

So, what are you up to today? 

Drawing, painting and a new addition

Hi guys! :)
Have you had a nice weekend?
We have been in our new home almost 3 weeks now!How it has flown!
I have alot of pictures to spam you with! haha :)

We woke up to snow on Friday!

I sketched

I practiced my hand lettering (On the wall!haha)

 Added some sunshine to the kitchen

Re-arranged the living room (I can't wait to get a carpet! Such cold feet!)

I created some flower bunting and knotted bunting

We got a new member of the family! Say hello to Marie! :)

It is very tiring looking this adorable!

Our Grand Day Out and Moving House

Hi guys!
         
            Sorry it has been a while, i have been busy and everything caught up with me all at once!

You may have noticed the new layout (again, i know, but it was hard to find a design i really liked) i love this one, it is bright, airy, and simple.

I have fantastic news! We are moving! Woohoo! The Bearded Wonder (my hubby) and i are finally breaking free of this god-awful, crumbling pit which is (laughingly) referred to as a house.
The new place is in the North East of England, and it is perfect! Okay, so we haven't seen much of it yet as when we went to view and sign the papers on Friday the housing officer had another appointment so we rushed through, signed up, and that was it! But if it is still standing and there is no damp then that's good enough for me!

It was also worth it for the views on the way!

Me and The Bearded Wonder, before we went home again.
I don't normally look so miserable, its just the angle! haha :)

Fingers crossed that it will be sooner rather than later, i'm off to start the huge task of packing my books... see you in about 5 hours!



*EDIT-Attempting to pack my books...i need another suitcase...this one is full, bearing in mind that all in all it stacks about 6 or 7 down and i still need another one! These are only the ones i really want to take!
