Hello

Hi all,
My blog has been rather neglected this year I admit, and every time I post I claim I'll blog again but never do and I do apologise for that.
When I(and Dad) have some time I'm hoping to revamp the blog and hopefully this will give me an incentive to blog more!
I'm also on instagram now if you want to check it out. http://instagram.com/inapicklelily?modal=true
A new item I'm now selling is hairbows! Using a pattern I've developed I now sell these hair clips in an increasing range of designs.

Eden Project!

Hello,

I'm back! Although for how long I'm not sure!

On Sunday we went down to Cornwall for the day and visited the Eden Project, It's a great day out and if you haven't been I can highly recommend it. We visited both indoor biomes and spent all afternoon in the sunny outdoor one. Dad and I also went on the skywire, England's longest and fastest zip wire!

Waterfall in the rainforest biome.



This sculpture is made of 3.3 tonnes of thrown away
electrical goods. This is the amount an average person
throws away in a lifetime.

 

 

After the sky wire we visited the Mediterranean biome. The biome showed parts of South Africa, the Mediterranean and California. It was full of gorgeous plants of every colour.

 

 

There was even a little café that used chillies grown in the biome itself.

 

The day was lovely and sunny and there was so much to do - this is a fraction of the pictures I took!

 





Now I'm off to tidy my room for a sleepover this week and looking forward to a trip to IKEA tomorrow!

 

Until Then:)

Hello,
I've been starting lots of blog posts but keep getting distracted and always seem to just have more homework, so I haven't blogged recently. Things at school have gotten serious as we have been making some important choices about the next couple of years so blogging has been tossed to the bottom of the pile.

This year's resolution has been to keep up with my accounts but when I get a bit of money I see something I like and maybe part with my earnings a little too easily so I definitely need to be a bit more organised.

I am currently involved in an exiting dance project with some of the stars in strictly so my weekends are rather dominated by rehearsals but I have found a small opportunity to blog as it is half term. (Sadly the end).

Right now I have been making a shed load of bunting but it is very time consuming and I don't have very many breaks between homework. So, what have I been up to?
Just after Christmas we took a trip to London (yay!) and had a nice mooch in Liberty, Choccywoccydoodah, the big John Lewis and Cath Kidston (the biggest one in the world with three floors!).

Liberty

We haven't done much this side of new year because of the terrible weather (although we live in Somerset we haven't quite been flooded out yet) but we did visit a vintage fair and it was filled with some gorgeous things including a lovely chair in Liberty print I am now proud to call my very early birthday present!

 

I'll hopefully be back more often and sooner but, until next time, bye x

Christmas

Hello, sorry about not blogging last month but I have been up to lots!

At the beginning of the month I went on a trip - off to Cologne in Germany to visit the gorgeous Christmas markets! Apparently Cologne has the biggest in Europe and the one we spent the most time in, up by the cathedral was the main one in the city, so there was plenty to explore.

We also visited Imhoff chocolate museum!

And the neighbouring sports and Olympic museum.

 

And, the cathedral itself!

 We also saw Beethoven Haus (Beethoven's house) and the castle on the Rein!

Inside the castle!

 

 

As you can see it was a fairly busy weekend!

 

I don't want to drag on so I shall post about the rest of Christmas soon!

 

Hopefully I will post again soon if I don't drown in homework!

 

Till next time :)
