My room so far...

 I thought I would make a blog post of some photos of my new room. It's nowhere near finished yet, I still have a lot of Sam's stuff in here and a lot of my furniture is still in the spare room, but I thought perhaps you would like to see a half-way there set of photos and then the finished ones at a later date!
It's still quite messy so these are just close ups of some of my favourite parts (that don't show the messy bits) In the first photo you can see a letter A, well I also have a B and a K, but no E. I got them from the charity shop I work out but the person who donated them didn't give us the E (I assume they are meant to spell 'Bake' but I really loved them so I had to buy them, especially as they were only 99p each.

I also wanted to say thankyou so much for 400 followers! I never thought I would have this many when I first started blogging, it's nice to know that people want to read my rambly blog posts and look at the photos :)

What we have here is a dreamer

(You can click the photos to see them bigger) This is just a quick post today because I have lots of photography coursework to do because I have left it until a day before it's due! But I wanted to show you all my new duvet cover, it's no secret that I love floral duvet covers, or anything floral at all if I'm honest!

My family and I took my brother to look around his college the other day and it's quite far away from home so we had to kill a few hours until we could pick him up, so we looked around the shops in the local village. Where I live we don't have any 'Asda Home' shops, and I didn't even know they existed until I saw this one in the village we went to.  I saw this duvet cover and knew I had to buy it, it's double sided and comes with 2 pillow cases which are also double sided. It's quite similar in design to my blue Cath Kidston one designed for Ikea but I love it, and at £9 for a double cover It would have been rude not to buy it!

Happy Halloween Bunting - DIY

Make some flag templates by using a diamond shape (I did this on pages on a mac, but you can do it it word/publisher etc), then fill them with different Halloween patterns, I just searched for 'Halloween patterns' on Google images! I then downloaded this font and spelled out 'Happy Halloween' with 1 letter per flag. (I'm sorry I tried to upload the flag documents but blogger won't let me :(, because then you could have all used the same ones, but if anybody wants me to email it to them just let me know and tell me whether you would like it in a format for mac or pc))

You will need scissors, double sided sticky tape or pritt stick, and some string ( I used black for Halloween)

Cut out all of the flag shapes and lay them down in order.

 Take a length of string ( I didn't cut mine until I finished as I wasn't sure how long it would be) and fold your flags in half.

Place strips of double-sided sticky tape onto the inside of the flag and peel away the non-sticky paper.

Place your flag under the string and fold the flag in half, keeping the string at the top!

 They your flag should look like this, keep going and don't forget to leave a bigger gap between the end of 'Happy' and the start 'Halloween'

 You now have your very own handmade Halloween bunting! I hope you like it!
