Prima Pretty Pastels

A few months back i sent a few items down to the very talented Selina Lake for a photo shoot she was styling for Prima Magazine.

A few days back whilst i was doing one of my many Instagram checks i let out a little squeal as i saw a photo uploaded by Selina..... a preview of the front cover of Prima Magazine with TWO of my cushions on.

I was so chuffed, I've never had any of my work in a magazine, let alone on the front cover. I hadn't wanted to get my hopes up too much as to what, if anything had been featured in the magazine as i was sure Selina had been sent so many fantastic handmade goodies.
This issue of Prima is due to be on sale in April so i will be sure to buy a copy, or 10!
The issue is jam packed full of crafting ideas and inspiration.

Have one of your very own 'Home Sweet Home Love Heart Cushions'
Or a funky 'Moustache Cushion'

Like everyone i am addicted to Instagram. I can't remember what i use to do without it, I mean whenever i ate a meal or pained my nails i didn't take a photo for other people to 'like', i just can't imagine it haha.

I know people seem to be pretty unhappy with the new terms and conditions of Instagram coming into effect next year. Ever heard 'if it aint broke don't fix it!'

I love being able to take a peek into other people's lives and being inspired by Instagram. I've even made new friends, I really hope this isn't the beginning of the end for Instagram.

Ever tried Overgram? You probably have.

It's an awesome way to add text to your photographs....currently also addicted to. 

Instagram & Pinterest

I can't seem to remember what life was like before Instagram and Pinterest.
And thanks to my wonderful iPhone i check them both several times every single day, is that a bit sad? Im not quite sure. All i know is there are so many wonderful, colourful, funny, beautiful and insipiring things on both.
Pinterest is always giving me great crafting & diy ideas

And i am forever decorating my imaginary house *sob sob* ....

Instagram is also great fun and i feel an appropriate way to nosey into peoples lives :p
I have discovered some great talented artists, makers, bloggers and boutiques through Instagram.
