139 // Wednesday Rambles

The past few days have left me feeling a little on edge. I think it's the uneasiness of a term coming to an end with the knowledge that I still have two essays to complete, exams to revise for, and Christmas presents to buy (it's not the buying that bothers me so much but the actual coming up with ideas!). Not only that but I've tried, and failed, to post on numerous occasions, all because I haven't been 100% sure what it is I actually want to say or do. Update you on my situation? It's much the same as ever. Let you know about my weekend? I wish I had more photos to show you. Put together another midweek 'photo compilation'? I'm worried this blog is becoming a little too heavily weighted on the side of other people's photography (although, when I have nothing of my own to offer, this is all I can really show you, and you all respond positively to it so, if you do like my tumblr posts, please let me know!). A wishlist/finds post? A lot of energy goes into those and I feel that, a lot of the time, I do them because I'm procrastinating more than anything else and, I guess, that's only natural to a certain point - I mean, we do all have to start doing the things we have to do eventually (but why now?!) - but I'm not sure they're what I'm best at putting together so I probably should stop doing them!  

Anyway, I guess rambling comes naturally to me, so that's where I'm at right now! The above photo was taken by my Moom in Bath this past weekend. On the Saturday I attended Megan's Bath Xmas Meet and got to meet two ladies in particular that I've hoping to for the past year and a half - Megan and Sophie. I had the most wonderful time, as well as the pleasure of the company of other fabulous ladies, such as Steph, Rebecca and Adora, to name but a few. If you want to find out more about the weekend, then make sure you head over to Stephanie Dreams or The Cinnamon Slipper, both ladies have great pictures and write-up's of the day. You can also find a couple of instagram snaps here and here, both of which I feature in (just to prove I was actually there!). Oh, and this was the prize I managed to snap up from Megan's fantastically put together lucky dip - a big thanks to all the brands who contributed as I know all the girls were very happy with their picks! Mine was this rather fabulous 'I'm really a mermaid' necklace from I Love Crafty!

Then on Sunday, after a stay around Megan's (she and Grant were the most gracious, kindest and sweetest of hosts, and I'm truly appreciative of them offering for me to stay. We had a great time chatting and I got to have one of Megan's well-loved Chai Hot Chocolates!) my Moom popped up to visit from home and we spent a lovely few hours chatting, shopping - Moom managed to pick up a few Christmas bits - and eating (at The Cosy Club, which we both very much enjoyed) before I headed back to Nottingham. It truly was a magical weekend - I'm so pleased I got to spend time with some of my absolute favourite blogging ladies and so happy that Moom decided to take the trip to see me.
