Love is in the air!

Fri-YAY!

Have you had a good week?
It's been rather uneventful for me, but I am still definitely looking forward to clocking out of work at 6.30 tonight!

I have been getting all dreamy over big studios this week, with huge windows and sunlight streaming in. I love Cressida Campbell's studio (above photo), she's an Australian artist who creates beautiful one-off woodblock prints and I stumbled upon some photos of her workspace when I was reading an interview of her. With a studio like hers I can't ever imagine running low on inspiration and suffering from artists block. For now I'm having to cope with our teeny back bedroom on our old computer desk!

Monday Mantra

Happy Monday!

Weekends always fly by so fast. I had a chilled out Saturday reading books and doing as little housework as I could get away with. My friend stayed overnight after a drink in town and we had a very lazy Sunday; jammies until 2pm, and only then getting dressed to walk the dog and go to the pub for food.

But now it's Monday, everyone's back at work and it seems as if the past couple of days never happened.

Balance is very important to leading a content life, and sometimes it feels like you only need to tip one way ever so slightly to feel everything start to slide. It always seems very difficult to get that perfect harmony, but if you think about it, it's simple.

Someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.

If you have those three things sorted, everything else is much more manageable.

Happy Friday!



Woop woop!
We did it!

It's been very cold here this week, but today has been glorious sunshine. I walked Harvey before work and it was so nice to feel the warm sunshine on your skin. For the first time I feel like maybe Spring will come after all! I am definitely getting bored of the cold now and wearing layer upon layer all day and night.

Nuthatch.

Birds we saw whilst walking through the woods last weekend.

A Nuthatch creeping up and down a tree, and glimpses of jewel-coloured Bull Finches flickering between the branches.

How to perfect an all-white wedding.

Colours make a huge different to the setting of any event, but especially a wedding.
Whilst I'd personally never set a theme, I think it's important to pick a colour or set of colours to work around. If not you can get a bit carried away and lost, picking one simple idea and sticking with it creates a much bigger impact than a jumble because you couldn't decide.

I'm currently toying with a few colours to go with, the first of which is all white.
It can seem a bit cold, but you can create a variety of looks; from minimalist and simple to fairy tale-esque and whimsical. Personally I would go for floaty and dreamy fabrics it creates a fresh and light look perfect for the big day!

Happy Tuesday all.
Did you have a nice weekend?
Mine was long and tiring with wedding venue viewings but I'll discuss the outcomes of them later.

Bah February already!? Christmas was 6 weeks ago!
I feel like it must have been productive month, but I'm not too sure what's actually happened.
