So I had my sisters over for the easter holidays and on one of the rainy miserable days we had, we got down to some crafting to make a change from watching the 5 million films we were watching, My one sister wanted a One direction heart (which i don't have a photograph of) And my other sister (who wants a regular spot on my blog) wanted an Ed Sheeran heart as she loves him to bits so this is what I came up with !
The Front features his name and the back features his tattoo which i believe is a logo he uses with his music and merchandise! The paw print and ribbon re both orange in homage to his ginger hair I hope my sister is thrilled with this little hanging heart I made for her!
The one direction heart just features the 1D logo on the front and nothing on the back, all in black felt and white stitching to go with the red white and black colour theme most of their merchandise has !

Barbie head pendants
These are some pendants I made using Barbie heads, 40x30mm bezel settings, ball chain, charms, beads, rhinestones, and other jewelry findings. I'm not really sure what inspired me at first, I was just using an exacto knife on a Barbie one day(that sounds creepy) and decided to glue it in a bottle cap, which started my new obsession with making these pendants. I just recently opened a little online shop after getting a good response from people on the internet of my pieces.

Yarn Bombing
Yarn bombing/urban knitting/yarn storming, is fairly new popular trend that I am seeing more and more of although I must admit I have not come across any myself (but i would love to!) but my twitter and tumblr feed has been full of pictures of yarn bombing from all over the world, such a beautiful way to brighten up a dull high street I just wish someone would yarn bomb my town center!!!
I do not own any of these images if you know who i should credit please get in touch!

Corned Beef Hash
Ingredients
7 oz (200 g) tinned corned beef
2 large, very fresh eggs
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 rounded teaspoon grain mustard
1 large onion
10 oz (275 g) King Edward potatoes or whatever ones you have
2-3 tablespoons of oil
salt and freshly milled black peppers
Method
1. Start this off by cutting the corned beef in into four ½ inch pieces. Now chop these into ½ inch (1 cm) dice, then scoop them all up into a bowl. Combine the Worcestershire sauce and mustard in a cup and pour this all over the beef, mixing it around to distribute it evenly.
2.Now slice your onion. The potatoes need to be washed and cut into ½ inch cubes, leaving the skin on, then place the cubes in a saucepan. Pour enough boiling water from the kettle to almost cover them, let them simmer for just 5 minutes before draining them.
3. Now heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in the frying pan and, when it's smoking hot, add the sliced onions fry them around in the oil to brown for about 3 minutes altogether.
4.After that, add the potatoes and fry with the onions, they also need to be quite brown. Add a little more oil here if necessary, keep turning the potatoes and onions over to hit the heat. After about 6 minutes, add the beef and continue to fry everything to allow the beef to heat through (about 3 minutes).
5.Fry your eggs and serve! (:
