I recently worked on this embroidery hoop for a friend.She runs a charity alongside her sister to raise money to get private rooms in hospital maternity rooms to make sure that if you have a still born you have your own privacy. I think this is an excellent thing they are achieving and raising money for so when asked if i could make one up for them i was made up.Here are some more pictures..

Break-ups.Nearly everyone has been there and been through it at least once in their life,but it doesn't mean it gets easier. In fact it's gotten harder. The more you fall, the more you open yourself up for heartache. You meet someone who turns your world upside down, who shows you things about life you had never known. They make you feel the strongest but most dangerous emotion,love.
You see it in the movies and you always presume it will end happily ever after.But when it comes crashing down on you,you're never prepared for it. The sleepless nights, the days of worrying and mostly the thoughts in your head. How could I not see this coming? How could I be so happy but the other so miserable? It sucks. In this day and age most relationships start over social media and I hate that. I wish that you had to write letters to explain feelings to one another, to actually turn up at their house to see them, and to not have everything plastered all over facebook etc. When being given a rose was more romantic as having a holiday booked, or a walk in the woods was as equal going to alton towers. Everything these days just seems about money and showing off to everyone else. But why do you all care about everyone else?
So right now i'm at the stage of trying to get through the day with out crying. One minute i'm ok the next i'm breaking down at the slightest thing. And it's tiring. We have all heard the 'we will be friends' and everyone knows it will never happen,not matter on what terms the relationship ends.  I just wish that sometimes you could continue to be friends. For however long you're with somebody you become so close.So breaks ups not only mean losing the love of your life,but your best friend too. For days after i've tried removing myself from everything. I don't want to socialise or be asked questions because the more i have to do those things the more i realise that this is my reality now.
I believe in fighting for things and that we should live our lives not giving up on things but fixing them no matter how hard they can be or what obstacles are in our way. So if time really does help to heal things then please can time hurry up. It's hard saying goodbye and trying to act like your feelings are no longer existent.
So if anyone else is going through a break up.Hold your head up high,you're amazing just the way you are and believe in yourself. You couldn't have tried any more and you should be proud to say that you fought for it. At least you didn't walk away from the things that are meant to mean the most to you. 

Interior Dreaming..So I have done nothing but look online and in stores for home decorations. I am just so excited to get my own house with Luke and saving for a deposit together is going to be so amazing. We both have similar tastes when it comes to interior ideas. I love the organic/clinical kind of look, which involves lots of wood,white,bronze and plants. I don't know how child friendly it would be but at least it would look like my dreams coming true. I love bare bulbs which hang low from the ceiling and old fashioned industrial items to fill out rooms. I'm sure all of this will cost us a fortune but I have seen so many bargain pieces from stores such as ASDA,tesco,wilko,home bargain etc, so i'm sure we could easily decorate on a budget - but first we need the house. I'm getting slightly ahead of myself, but who can blame me!!! I will own a house hopefully this time next year and living with my boyfriend. Can it get any better?! 
Of course we would need to have a spare bedroom for my sewing things and i really like this picture i found of pinterest where is has some of the extras/tools hanging on the wall. So that's definitely an idea i will be considering for my sewing essentials. Speaking on that topic i have so many ideas that I need to get to work on,so hopefully over the next few months i can blog a little more about some exciting things that i'm doing to occupy myself.

Parkgate is possibly starting to become one of my favourite local places to visit.It's so pretty and you can go any time of year. I normally visit in the summer because there is an old fashioned ice cream shop which is so delicious and have a walk and look out to Wales which is opposite. Lately though I have been going to the coffee shop which has been built not too long ago. Its everything I could want for my own ideas for a home,with lots of wood and minimalistic and exposed bulbs,all the things I love. They sell the most amazing hot chocolate which is terry's chocolate orange flavour and it's so good. I get it every time. Luke sticks to his flat whites but they're so horrible!!! how does anybody enjoy that?! We also went for a quick walk to Eastham Ferry but it was so cold and foggy out that we walked straight back to the car to warm up. We wanted to go sit on the rock front where it looks out across the river and you can see Liverpool and the planes taking off and landing. But there was a family there so we didn't bother interrupting them.We always have such nice days together and I'm so happy to have him in my life (apologises for ending this with something cringey) please forgive me people.
