Hello there my lovely readers! Long time no see :) happy Wednesday to you all, I hope you've been having a great couple of weeks.

Over the past two weeks I have been...
Feeling...
pretty overwhelmed actually. As you've probably noticed I've been a bit off the radar with my blogging in general, which has mostly been due to my new job. I'm finding it a bit difficult to adjust to regular working hours, years of working nights at theatres have obviously taken their toll on me! I am now starting to adapt and use my time more productively, but for a while there I was just getting home and crashing before going to bed and doing it all again the next day. I really admire all you ladies who work full time jobs and still find the time to blog, you are super-women! Slowly but surely I'm getting back into the swing of my blogging, and I've got some fun posts planned in the near future, so hopefully I'll soon have my blogging mojo back properly :) we'll see, baby steps for now!
Reading...
the first book in the Beautiful Creatures series. I really enjoyed the film so I thought I'd give the books a go (I'm pretty much always a bigger fan of the book than the film with all adaptations!) and although I'm not hooked yet I am enjoying it. I often think it's a shame that some books get labelled as only for young adults, because if a book is well written surely it can be loved by people of all ages? Just look at Harry Potter!
Planning...
something that I've been thinking about for a long time: my first tattoo! I know that quite a few of you lovely ladies have ink of your own, I've been a long time admirer of some of your artwork, so I thought it was about time I joined the club! I've got my design all picked out and I'm really looking forward to the big day, I just hope I'm not too much of a wimp when it comes to the pain :)

Cooking...
a lot more than usual, one of the other reasons I've been a bit more absent than usual! Cooking takes me a while because I'm quite inexperienced but I love it and I've been so happy that I've finally had the time to do it properly. Isn't it amazing the difference a home cooked meal can make to your day? And your energy? It's brilliant. I'm definitely becoming a home-cooking convert.
Working on...
my 1940s suit with every spare minute that I have. It's coming along, but slowly, particularly as I can only dedicate a little bit of time to it each day, but next day off I get I'm going to get as much done as possible. It will be finished in time of the Sew For Victory deadline I tell you! Plus I just want to wear it, it looks so cute!
And, of course, there's been a lot going on in the rest of the blogosphere recently too...
- This jumper makes me adore Cassie Stephens all the more. What a lady and what a cat jumper :)
- What a beautiful place to work, maybe one day I'll have a place like this of my very own.
- Check out Tasha's progress on her jacket for Sew For Victory, I'm blown away considering it's her first ever tailoring project. I can't wait to see how it looks when it's finished!
- And finally I really want to try these hot crossed pancakes for easter, don't they look amazing?!
Have a wonderful rest of the week my lovely readers and I'll be back soon!
Bye for now,
Katie xxx
