Hat

I knitted a hat to go with that scarf which took me a million years. I used the same wool which was called Bonus Chunky and size 8 knitting needles... I made it by knitting a triangle shape and stitching it together at that back. If I were to do it again, I wouldn't do it like that... The shape wasn't quite right. It would be easier to get the shape right with knitting needles connected by wire.

Halloween

This year my friend Rachel organised a murder mystery party and it was the best murder mystery I've ever been too!... I've only ever been to one but it was a lot of fun.

An update (and a scarf)

The pictures are pretty self-explanatory... I made a scarf... Mainly under my mother's influence. She's a knitting queen and her jumpers/mittens/hats made me want to create my own!

If you're think about making anything with wool... I must warn you, you need a LOT of patience and wool can be quite expensive!

Anyway, changing the subject... I started working for The Body Shop. I like it there, the company's morals and ethics are great and I enjoy raising money for charity... This year The Body Shop are supporting TCT (Teenagers with Cancer Trust) and I've been shocked at how much customers are actually willing to give (shocked in a good way... mainly)

This means that my photography has been somewhat neglected although I do still want to do everything my webpage states... (wedding photography and family portraits). I am finding it very hard to market myself. I have no idea where to start! I made a facebook page but the only people that see/care about that are my friends and family! I made a webpage but this is attracting mainly friends and family too. I want to make leaflets and adverts but obviously this costs money and I haven't been paid from The Body Shop yet. 

I think a lot of it is to do with people showing people photographs. After Holly's wedding I got 3 people asking about it. But none of them really worked out (God I sound depressing) However, it's not all doom and gloom because there is a lot of cake in our house and I've been eating it all!

A Day-Trip to Brighton

 

Photographing the Rowe family!

The other day I did some more portraits (we went to Isabella Plantation)... And it turns out that early morning is definitely the best time to look at flowers and fish and plants!

 

Sammie and Chris

These are two gorgeous children from church! I asked their Dad if I could photograph them (a little odd of me) and here are some of the images:

Dress making

I started making another dress when I found John Lewis had a huge fabric sale..
For this dress I used a fabric design called Rowan Cameo by Amy Butler
and I used a Butterick pattern (B5029) which looks like this...

 

The pattern I used was this one and involved a lot more lining then I initially thought. 

I was making the dress for a wedding but ended up wearing it to my graduation instead... which turned out just fine because in the meanwhile I died my hair pink and the dress clashed horribly!

Here's some images...

... Sadly I do not own this car; I was being silly and this is what I did to my hair...

But I have a job interview next week (which is good news) but my mother is still badgering me to get rid of it :-(
...so I think my pink hair may only last for a week and a half!... I tried
