Maybe I should start blogging again...

I've been having thoughts lately that I think I was a bit premature in giving up blogging. I've had a really hard time this year completing my teacher training and blogging was something I decided to 'give up' as I wanted to focus solely on my teaching. I even gave up having driving lessons! However, now I'm close to completing my training year, I've toyed with the idea of coming back! Not sure how yet, or when but watch this space! 😊

I have a sewing machine!!!

Whoop! I finally have a sewing machine! After so much time waiting for the right moment to get one, and finding the right machine for me (basically one that isn't too expensive) I finally found one and it only cost me £20!

It was one of those moments where you hear about someone selling something you want/need from a friend of a friends... relatives friend. In this instance I found out from my partners Grandma that her friends cleaner was trying to sell her machine after upgrading to a computerised model. So I immediately jumped on the opportunity and called the lady.

She was so helpful, I had told her I had never used a sewing machine before and very kindly offered to show me the basics. Which turned out to be very useful and happened to save me a lot of time, as I would have been sat watching YouTube tutorials for hours before I could even think about using the machine!

I'm so excited to share all the projects I will be working on, and it will be such a great journey to take together as I'm a complete beginner with a sewing machine so it will be interesting to document my progress and for other beginners to come along for the ride!

Anyway... thanks for reading!

Windmill Walk - 30 Days of Wild

Good morning :) I hope your weeks have been great! I'm a bit late publishing the rest of my 30 days of wild posts... oops! Never mind, better late than never! This is week 3 of the 30 days during June, whereby I was challenged to do something wild everyday, which I think I managed to achieve! However I decided to only post about one, once a week that I enjoyed the most so here is week 3. A walk to a windmill and around Lincoln where I came into contact with many wild things! This post is more of a photograph one so I'll leave the writing now until later. I hope you enjoy the photographs. 

Owen and I found this windmill before the 30 days of wild challenge in the middle of houses in Lincoln! Seemingly random, however it turned out that the street used to house only windmills of a large variety and this one was the last one standing, and working! I didn't end up going up the mill, unfortunately due to my phobia of heights, so no photographs from inside I'm afraid. I did however get to buy some of the flour they produce and it is wonderful for making scones! I shall have to do another post on that soon.

Attempting Everyday Blogging

Since finishing my degree and having more time to blog I decided to start trying to blog every day, I'm not sure if this will become a permanent thing over summer. I have absolutely loved blogging every day this last week and because I've not being blogging that often for the past few months I had a good amount of content stored up in my journal. I'm hoping I keep my creative juices flowing enough to post every day, and if not I will attempt to keep a good schedule going to blog around 3 times a week maybe more! So just a short one today, see you tomorrow!
