Ok so since 2008 I became obsessed with Anime, Manga and Cosplay.
We attended our first convention that year, and I made our two cosplays from scratch, something which im still proud of.
However over the years Ive drifted from it but still had an interest, however hubby lost interest far quicker. It soon became my thing only and ive started to lose the joy out of it over the years. First it was something fun we did together, and now it has become something i feel really fantastic making right up until I wear it, then i feel really daft afterwards, as [ ... ]

Yep, you heard that right people. Times have fallen hard this week and bills had to be paid.
So today until friday we have pennies in the house.

It really has made the bathroom 75% brighter than before and im so glad we did it now.
Anyway, since we have changed the colors I needed to have some accessories just to break up to plain and clean white.
I came up with the idea of making some hand sewn pictures with powder blue distressed frames for [ ... ]

I love buying second hand. Its something that has never bothered me, and my mum has always brought me up to have a positive outlook to buying second hand and using car boots, and charity shops.
Its something which i have passed on to my son, and we love nothing more then looking for a good bargain at a car boot sale or perhaps a toy I know will amuse my son but begrudge paying £30 for because it will only end up in a cupboard.
So last weekend, my mum and jay took to our local car boot to browse amongst the bargains, and bargains there were. [ ... ]
