21st Birthday Adventure

Afternoon everyone! 

Hope we are all doing well? 

If you read my last post you will know that I have been off for the past couple of days, the reason being my 21st Birthday! There was no way I was working that, and the extra day after too! 

The morning began with Mr. B driving us to Castleton where we spent the majority of the day mooching around the town in the sunshine, just the two of us. We stopped off at a lovely Called The Causeway Shop and had some lovely Ciabatta toasties, and also where a cricket decided to land on Mr. B's arm.

 I also got to open my present which was The Meringue Girls newest book, Everything Sweet! It's so good, I can't wait to get baking!

We then proceeded to walk from the town to the first cave which was The Peak Cavern, also known as The Devil's Arse. Though we didn't have enough to go in but was nice to have a walk up and chat. 

We then carried on and walked from there to Speedwell Cavern, which was a very nice picturesque walk. Then we started to walk from there too the other Cavern which was Treak Cliff, also known as Blue John Cavern, but just decided to walk back to the town as we wouldn't have enough time to get back home for the meal later on. 

Then later on, Mr. B and Jess came along for the family meal, to which they are practically family :) 

Went to a Mexican in Sheffield called Chiquitos, which serve the most beautiful food and cocktails imaginable, they are just amazing! Jess made me wear a sombrero! She's hiding next to me as I sip my Pina Colada haha

 

My wonderful mum and dad who have taught me pretty much everything I know! I am so thankful that they helped me be creative as a child as I don't think I would be doing my cakes, music, crochet or writing at all now. I hate to think how I would have turned out without them! 

I love them so much and I am so thankful to call them my parents and couldn't ask for a couple any better than these two! 

I love them both too the moon and back! 

Check out my new baby! My younger brother got it me, omg I am in love, it's just totally amazing and can't wait to get to grips with it more! It's so fun, made an amazing chocolate cheesecake in it this morning, THE BEST one I have don't yet and let me tell you, it makes a total difference in what mixer you have.  Goodbye handheld, hello standing beast! 

All in all, I had such an amazing birthday and past couple of days, they have been wonderful and filled with love and magic! I've been surrounded by everyone that I love and couldn't of asked for a better 21st Birthday. I may not have done much to some people, but has been one of the best birthday's ever. I am so thankful to everyone who came and who celebrated and wished me a happy birthday. 

I am also so thankful for Mr. B taking me to Castleton and just making it a wonderful time and a day I will never forget. Love him to pieces. It was truly beautiful and on such a lovely, sunny beautiful day! So a big thank you to my Mr. B!

Much love, 

Bag Update

Hey everyone! 

Hope we're all okay? 

It's just a quick update really, you know the bags that I we're making a couple of weeks ago? 

Well...They're finished!

Here's the front of the Space bag - I did eventually add in some red ribbon for the drawstring, but I forgot to take a pic! I'll post another one up at some point!

Here's the space one that I made out of the lovely, vintage space material that I found in my Nan's sewing room. This material and all the others are so unique and I just love them, more so because they were what my nan purchased years ago, and now that she's not around anymore, I feel like I have some small connection with her and I love it. She would of been happy and pleased that I'm making good use out of them!

Back in the day my nan was a seamstress, and I remember going to Colebrothers in town and walking around aimlessly with her, looking at all the different materials and buttons and what not, it was so lovely. I also I have a pink blanket with white sheep on, that I remember going with her to get when I was younger :) 

Anyway!...

And here's the back of the bag! Such lovely colours! 

I also made another one, I couldn't help myself! This material was a little bit thicker which was nice to work with, but not as smooth going through the machine as the other two (Green pinstripe one) 

The material was lovely and bright, it reminds me of Spain for some reason. I think it's the colours and flowers on the material itself, so lovely and vibrant though. I added some lime green ribbon for the drawstring and I think it makes it stand out all together and brings in those colours! 

Here's a close up of the pattern and the drawstring!! I love it! I know that the stitching on the ribbon is red, I didn't have any green so just had to improvise, but I don't mind as it's only for me!

I will do another post soon as I an working on mini project! Keep your eyes open for it! 

Much love as always,
