Testing Vintage: 1960’s Lady Sunbeam Electric Shaver

January 7, 2022January 6, 2022Leave a comment

One of my goals for 2022 is to self care more and take time to really look after myself. I'm not a huge beauty salon girl and I don't get my nails or hair done often (I've never even had fake nails or anything). In a quest to pamper myself a little more, I hope … Continue reading Testing Vintage: 1960’s Lady Sunbeam Electric Shaver

Making a Vintage Christmas Tree Hat – 1950’s Festive Crafting

December 10, 2021December 9, 20211 Comment

I sometimes get worried when I receive a message from a friend saying "I saw this and thought of you" as it really could mean a lot of things; the other week I received two different images/illustrations of a lady with a towering mini Christmas tree on her head. Oh my gosh I can see … Continue reading Making a Vintage Christmas Tree Hat – 1950’s Festive Crafting

How to Wash Your Hair Brush and Comb

September 20, 2021September 16, 2021Leave a comment

Alrighty, we've survived the vision of my dirty hair curlers so it's only fair that I now share my dirty hair brushes and combs. This post might be gross, but we're all friends here and I know you won't judge me, but, my hair brushes get really gross really quickly. If you style your hair … Continue reading How to Wash Your Hair Brush and Comb

How to be a Pinup on a Budget

May 28, 2021May 27, 2021Leave a comment

I'm not going to lie, pinup can be really expensive (you hear that? It's my credit card crying itself to sleep), but it can also be done on a budget. After years of wearing vintage and styling myself as a modern pinup, I've learnt a few tips and tricks to keep the budget down. If … Continue reading How to be a Pinup on a Budget

Day dreaming of fields of gold 💛 can't wait to come back here, hopefully sometime this year but who knows!
It might be time for me to start knitting again, it's been a while but it's the perfect lap craft for couch and movie days. I've got a few vintage patterns I'd love to try but I'm a little nervous of starting. Do you over think projects or just get on with it? I'm a chronic overthinker haha!
Im looking forward to a quiet and rainy weekend of rest, recovery and the joy of hot tea with cinnamon. What is your favourite way to warm up in winter? It's so cold at the moment here 🥶
Do you enjoy winter holidays or summer holidays? I suppose summer is a bit easier but there's something delightfully cosy about winter adventures. What would be your ideal winter holiday?
Big boots bows make me happy. I'm trying really hard to get back to some sort of normal work routine but I've honestly been struggling. I'm not sure when I'll be well enough to film and edit and get back into the swing of things but I'm trying my best each day.
Sundays are an odd day, they have this laziness to them that's something to be savored but by the evening I'm stressed about the week to cone. Anyone else feel like this? I personally think we should add another day to the weekend so I can get all my housework done.
It's looking like a quiet weekend of recovery for me, what are your plans? What would be your perfect weekend?
Sad story about this dress: I made it using #butterick6284 during lockdown and absolutely loved it. After a few wears I took it to the laundry and somehow it fell behind the laundry basket where it wasn't visible. After a good while I found it but noticed it had some odd sun bleaching right on the front of the bodice. Now I wear it around the house but I'm tempted to remake it from the same fabric. Should I make another copy? Or should I just accept it as a house dress?
I'm in recovery mode and it's driving me crazy. I wanted to work today but just couldn't due to pain. I miss my normal routine, blogging and sewing. I don't think I'll be able to film this week but I'll try my best for a video next week.
I can't believe it's already wednesday! The week is just whizzing by and there's still so much to do. I'd much rather be lounging in pretty dresses. What would you rather be doing right now?
