I'm a sucker for artwork featuring cute girls
I was going through my bookmarks, trying to sort them
(Such a painful task)
And came across this artist
Her work is beautiful and would make amazing tattoos
Here a few of my faves

♥ Monday Etsy Loves ♥ Latest Loves ♥

Hi!
As I've mentioned, I've really cut back on blogging due to problems with my eye
I wanted to keep my 'Debbie downer' side away from my blog
Well, finally I have some answers!
I do have the condition that they told me at hospital
Even though I've been told by different people it can and can't cause blurriness
I spoke to a Dr that said it definitely can (he's an expert on it)
Also, in the time I got the condition my eyesight has deteriorated quite a bit in that eye
What am crappy coincidence huh?
I think if I'd been told that from the beginning I'd feel pretty upset
But after being told SO MANY different things over the last 5 months I finally have answers!
He sat with me a while and answered a lot of questions and explained things to me
Without having to add in loads of medical jargon
And that made me really happy!
I seriously feel like a weight has been lifted
And although it's not good news this has happened, I don't have the constant worry that it might be something more serious
I finally feel more 'me' and I'm really grateful
I just want to say, if you have a medical problem and don't feel like you're getting answers
Push for it!
It may be exhausting and emotional, but things can get better 

Onto something I haven't done in a long time

Here are my latest Etsy faves

1. Lenny Mud
I think everyone needs to be reminded of this now and then
 2. Monochrome Studio
Lovely
 3. Petite Co
This is so simple, but beautiful
4 . MAiS 2
These stickers are so cute!
 5. Akron Zine
I LOVE Tina!
I always say to Paul, if we had a kid it would be a perfect mix of all 3 of the Bob's Burgers kids
ha
 6. Buz Handmade
Oh Ludo!
This is sold out, but I had to feature it
 7. Pony Chops Shop
Every time Chantal posts another pair of shoes I am amazed!
How good are these?
 8. Blue Hour Studio
Sisco!

Catching up

Hi!
This year is flying by!
Last Friday we went to Brighton for my birthday
It was forecast thunderstorms, so we were a bit worried
But the weather was gorgeous!
We lay on the beach for ages and it was total bliss!
Dozing in the sun and hearing the waves crash onto the beach
A perfect day!

Here are some photos from the last week

This is a toy I was working on, but I didn't like how it turned out
So Sisco claimed it
I didn't take a pic, but my mum wrapped my pressies in Hello Kitty paper!
Never too old!
ha

Cute wrapping paper
In Brighton we went for lunch at Wai Kika Moo Kau
I spotted jojo's cakes 
They had so many vegan cakes that looked so good!
But we were too full
We shared a peanut tofu wrap and a breakfast
Yum!
The wrap was so fresh and perfect for a hot day
I'd definitely get it again
And you can't go wrong with a breakfast!
I just wish they did scrambled tofu
Heaven!
The next day I got a surprise from my mum
She told me before as she was excited about it!
haha
Now this was a surprise!
I've been online buds with Becky for ages
I actually did my first craft swap with her
I call her the 'party planner queen' as she plans the most amazing themed parties!
Check out some here
I love the fact she goes all out
I saw her amazing bead creations and commented on her pic and she said she'd make me one
I decided to send her something in return
So I sent her one of my plush foxes 
A few days before my birthday a huge cardboard envelope arrived
I didn't have a clue what it was
This is what was in it!
The hearts and dollars are ice cube trays
Seriously!
Isn't this amazing??
I'm going to hang it above my desk
Thank you so much Becky
You're a total sweetheart and a star 
Cute cards!
If you see this drink, try it!
It's so good!
I got some lovely presents, but these two were really special
I always try and get my birthday gifts from Etsy
Handmade is best!
This is from Paul
(I just realised I don't have any pics, so these are from the shops)
I'd had my eye on this ring for a long time and it didn't disappoint!
It's so pretty and dainty
The seller was really lovely and got my ring out fast as I wanted it for my birthday
This next one is from Paul's parents
It's been in my Etsy favourites for ages
I need to take a pic of mine as it's slightly different
But this is the one from the shop
I'm going to sound like a cheese ball, but it's totally magical!
Mine has a little bit more purple in it and it's so unique!
(Click on the pics to visit the shops)

The rest of the weekend was just spent relaxing
It was a really lovely birthday and I'm already planning my next trip to Brighton

Can you see that?......No

Funny title?
No?
Oh well, you have to laugh

To say the last few weeks have been crap is an understatement
The never ending eye saga carries on
I went to the optician today and she wasn't much clearer
But apparently my eyesight has gotten worse (I have so many things wrong with my eyes, so my prescription is complicated)
haha
I just imagine you probably think I'm like this
But no
You can't actually see anything, my eyes look normal
She wants to make a drastic change to my prescription which I'm not too happy about
So I'm getting a second opinion
Funny thing is, the last few days I've seen a slight improvement
I miss being the cheery old me
And I miss blogging

Fingers and toes crossed

Oh god, sorry to go on
I may rename this blog 'My wonky eye'

Cat videos can help 'the blues'
And here are a few that improved my mood
I love Sylvester 
This is definitely Sisco
