Granny Square Blanket Update

As you guys know I have been making a crochet blanket using solid granny squares with a black border. 
Here is an update of my progress (Excuse the messy bed, it's the only place I could lay them all out 

 I've built up quite a collection! There are even some colours with more than one square on top of the same colour. 

 The strip at the top are some that have started to be connected together as I wanted to see how the colours and the black looked together and to practice my joining method. I'm really happy with how well I've been doing with it so far! 
I still have a long way to go though.

MCM Midlands con ~ Valentines 2015

Yesterday was Valentines day and me and my partner went to mcm Midland con for the day! It was such a great day out, there were so many awesome cosplayers and stalls. 

Here are a few photos of some of the awesome stuff that we saw while we were there. 

 This is what i ended up buying! the worst part about going to these is i always want to buy so much! This time i settled with a Guardians of the Galaxy top, some fox clip on ears, a BMO purse, a Thor key ring and a marvel scarf.

Hello Kitty Sweatband

I really like knitting and I try to make things that are really cute and aren't just thinks like scarves and hats. 

I have an etsy shop called Rachel's Woolies where I sell some of the things that I make. 
One of my favourite things that I have knitted is this knitted hello kitty sweatband It's just so kawaii!

I love how simple it is yet it still looks like Hello Kitty. There is a cute little bow at the side too.

You could wear it as a sweatband or a hair band! It's the perfect accessory for any Kawaii girl or even a little girl that you know.

Valentines Gifts for a Gamer ~Part 2~

I wrote a post a few weeks ago about the gifts that i was planning on getting my partner for Valentines day. 
The other day the last bits had arrived so i thought I would show it to you guys. 

 Sorry the pictures aren't the greatest, it's currently hiding in a wardrobe! So there are three gift vouchers for Game, League of legends and steam and there is a xbox one dual controller charger. I bought them online at Game. The funny looking things in bubble wrap are soaps in the shape of controllers from NerdySoap on Etsy. Lastly there is a card with Toad on it from OwlandBrew on Etsy. The basket I got from Amazon, it is just a generic basket and was the perfect size! 

I think that it is really perfect for my partner! I thought it would be nice to get something that is personal to him rather than just a generic Valentines present.

Post exam night - outfit

On Friday i had my last exam of the semester of University so I went on a night out with some friends.

The dress that I wore is one that I bought a while ago, I just really love the gold and purple look. 

The only problem with this dress is it doesn't have any straps which can be quite awkward. 

I paired it with some cute little heels that I got from new look. I didn't want to wear too high shoes because I was planing on doing lots of dancing.

I clipped back my hair at the sides and put on a little bit of make up.

False Nails

I love having really nice long nails but unfortunately I just can't grow mine! No matter how much I try they always seem to break really easily. 

I can't afford to have my nails done professionally all the time so I like to buy glue on false nails. I have tried loads of different ones but I think my favourite have to be Primarks! They are only £1 and are so great and come with really lovely designs. 

 I think these kitty ones have to be my favourite! They're so kawaii, I like that the cat detail is only at the tip of the nail. 

This is how they look when they're on. I just love how they look I think I have a huge obsession with cats!

 These comic ones are so awesome. They have POW, BOOM, WHAM and BAM written on them. I would definitely recommend them if you are like me and love cute nails.

These last ones are actually from Claire's, I had them as a Christmas present one year. I love the cat eye detail. They are pre-glued stick on ones though. I can't wait to try them out.
