One Day.

Bernard Blue.

A story of my friend Bernard.

So today I had a pretty lazy day, I decided I would watch a movie and relax, while Henry went out to play with his friends.

After reading the book One Day way over a year ago I was still in awe of its beauty and captivating story. I became to know these characters well. They became apart of me, I was so wrapped up I was a none responsive zombie lost in the lives of Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew for all of 48 hours (I worked full time back then too) Since, I have lost myself again and again. When I first heard they were making a movie I might have been a little excited, then I heard that the Emma would be played by Anne Hathaway, I felt as though this would be an injustice to my now dear friend. I wanted nothing more but to NEVER catch so much as a glimpse of this film. Months passed and I heard a few reviews, good and some bad. I felt a certain obligation as a true fan of this book to simply give it a go. This afternoon with the house all to myself, knowing I would most probably cry my little eyes out, I settled into One Day. The film wasn't all bad! Personally I wouldn't have cast Anne Hathaway at all, I felt with it being a British film a move deserving up and coming BRITISH actress could have portrayed Emma a lot better. Having said that the actor playing Dexter did capture him well. And yes I did cry, a lot! Films have that effect on me I'm afraid to say.
What I am trying to say is read the book, don't cop out and simply watch the film, experience this beautiful and heartbreaking love story the way David Nicholls intended it to be told.


During my many outbursts of tears I designed this little fellow. I thought I would branch out on my first collection and create even more accessories. This is just a prototype but I thought you guys should be the first to see it. This evening we popped out to our friend Mike for dinner, It was nice to see the boys cooking for a change while I relaxed and worked hard on perfecting these cute little bunnies. 

Tomorrow I will be posting a little teaser of my collection so far, oh and I have also got some great things in the pipeline for Blue Rinse!! 
Very Exciting things to come :)


Hope you all had a great start to your weekends I sure did.

Bow Madness.

Another story about bows.

I love staying at Martha's (not only is she Henry's sister but she's a really good friend of mine) We have wonderful days out and we always go thrifting (first picture of me without my dreadys :( still have some sneaky ones at the back) We stay two nights a week in their beautiful cottage, which they are currently renovating IT IS AMAZING!  We pretty much eat, drink tea, watch Henry on Video Games and knit, in Laurie Land I would be doing this everyday if I could.

So enough about my life story, here is the new edition to my collection, these teeny tiny olive green bows measure 5cm in length, I'm planning on putting them on bobby pins and hair elastics.

I also had a successful day thrifting in Ellesmere. 

My New Leather Sewing Case 40p.

Beautifully thin and frizzy wool and teeny needles to work with roughly about 50p for both, had such an amazing day, the quaint town of Ellesmere in situated in Shropshire, I love it! Filled with locally produced butchers to an array of inviting charity shops, I was in my element. The picturesque houses are ultimate chocolate box, thatched roofs to Georgian terraces. Sash blooming windows EVERYWHERE!  (the small things in life eh?)

So this evening I have been giving a knitting lesson to Martha, just how to cast off but it was so much fun, we spent hours sat while the boys played video games. 

I have been taking orders this week, so if you have a favourite colour, wool type or size preference, just let me know I'm happy to try it all!! 

Hope you all like my new little babies, 

Please drop me a line anytime with feed back I would love to hear from you guys and gals...
