A Beautiful Mess DIY Circular Mat

http://www.abeautifulmess.com/2015/01/woven-circle-mat-diy.html

After seeing this post on A beautiful mess i googled every possible search word to find out if i could buy a similar rug like this anywhere but i couldnt find anything. I decided to buy some wool and try my hand at making one and i think it turned out quite well. The steps on how to make it were really easy to follow and although i chose to keep the colours as close to the orginal as possible you could use any colours you would like. I bought the wool from The wool warehouse they have so much choice in colours and thickness and the prices are really cheap depending on what you want, all of my wool came to around £17 with postage. The pom pom trim i got from hobbycraft, i havent linked the site because you can only buy from store but its £2 per metre. Anyway, im really happy with it, i might try and make another one but a little bigger.

Happy Thursday.

Band of gypsies

ASOS £25

same jacket - back view

Primark £12

ASOS £15

ASOS £15

River island £30

Bought these a couple of weeks ago, i love the band of gypsies kimono because its pink, paisley and has fringing, can't wait to wear it when it get's warmer, the cream crotchet tunic is so good for £25, can be worn with tights, leggings or shorts, i bought it in a bigger size though so it's long enough for a dress! The river island kimono i found in the Bullring, i bought it because it was £8, it would have been rude not to! I NEVER go into the Bullring river island either because it's awful, it's too busy and there's too many scary women in there. The cardigan is a bargain, £12, i love the colour it's really spring/summery and i always wear black/white/grey so it just makes a plain outfit colourful, i got it from the Wolverhampton Primark, i refuse to go to the Birmingham one it's always a mess, the Wolverhampton and Coventry ones are much much nicer. All three clutches are from ASOS, i LOVE them, especially the mint green, can't wait to take them on holiday, i love the way they look with a plain black dress.

lovely crochet...

As much as i moan about work...

On Saturday at work i found that a beautiful black crochet dress had popped out of the delivery...£19.99! bargain, plus i got my staff discount on top of that. It reminds me of the black dresses in the for love and lemons day tripper collection.
