You might think this post is going to be all about the treat that is cheese (with wine and gin thrown in for good measure). You'd be half right, but the real treat was having the lovely Laura, George, and Emma over to enjoy a table full of food with me at home. Shout out [...]
The reason I've combined these two days is mainly to save myself a little time (gotta be real with ya). However, the biggest tradition in my family, whatever the celebration, always involves food. I'm lucky enough to have a mom who cooks and bakes the most delicious food, all year round. But, at Christmas; it's [...]
Putting the decorations up on my tree every year is one of my favourite parts of Christmas. Therefore, I'll keep this simple and show you our 2017 Christmas tree...The star is a bit wonky, but I love it all the same. Peace, love, and pine needles, Fay x https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz1aCDjTz5U
Is there anyone or anything more sparkly than Mariah Carey? No. A divisive opinion, but I am wholeheartedly a Mimi fan, a lamb, and part of the lambily. I am used to the eye rolls; don't worry, I literally don't care. She's the best. Music Box was my first ever CD; I got it when [...]
When I think of winter warmers; I think of hot food and drinks, but you probably suspected that anyway. Therefore, I thought I'd include a few of my favourite hot beverages that you can enjoy around Brum at this time of year. I've picked these in particular, because of the taste, and the festive settings. [...]
There are always little things and big things on my annual naughty list... I'll list eight things because it's day eight (see what I did)... Bad manners Lack of empathy or kindness Cold feet (mine) Neuropathy (you might need to Google it, but trust me; it's effing painful) Anxiety Baked beans (no no no) Clowns [...]
Since I started this blog; I've had the pleasure of meeting some absolute poppets, lovelies, sweet peas, good eggs, and (if you haven't vommed yet) those who should live on nice lists everywhere. As someone who suffers severe social anxiety at times; I was a little worried about getting into blogging and travelling out to [...]
Super silly...but it is festive and fun. The demise of my gingerbread person... In future; I'll bite the head off first so that it's less traumatic and they won't be smiling at me as I devour them. The gingerbread also won't be able to stare at me with those cold, iced eyes. Icing on gingerbread [...]
Much like my favourite festive films; I can't pick just one or two decorations. All of my Christmas decorations are special to me; they all hold memories, and I know exactly where each one is from. I love an eclectic mix of styles; at the moment, I'm favouring vintage style glass ornaments. However, if something [...]
When I saw the prompt for day two of Brum Blogmas; I immediately thought about the Christmas cards I illustrated in 2014. I was working as a freelance illustrator for a while, and I got to do some exciting projects with Birmingham Children's Hospital, and some lovely commissions for gifts and special occasions. When I [...]
