Over the last few weeks I have been itching to get out of home and the urge to move out is ever growing.

After finishing uni I went back to my Mum and Dads, which I am wholly grateful for and it was only meant to be temporary.  A year and half later and I'm still here with no signs of a move in the near future.  It sucks, going from living with your friends and having absolute freedom, minus the rent and bills, to living back home where you fall back into your teenage routine and almost un-mature a few years again.

Fallen in love.... with Iron ons

 

 Whilst in Paris we stumbled across the cutest stationary store called Papier Tigre.  Safe to say I wanted to buy everything from the cardboard office accessories to the notebooks.  Everything is designed to perfection and the whole store is beautiful.  In there they had a cabinet containing some gorgeous iron on patches, broaches and accessories by Macon and Leasquoy which I couldn't resist.  There's a huge range of cool Iron ons from geometric shapes to chips and a burger and I loved them.  I picked up two packs, one with a camera the other with a gun and bang speech bubble which I imaged on a shirt collar.  Each is embroidered and shiny and pretty.

I finally got round to Ironing them on this week, the illustrated instructions are simple and easy to follow  and I'm so happy with the results.  I used the camera one on the pocket of a plain white Topshop tee and the gun on the collar of a white Topshop shirt.  They are the perfect way to update an item of clothing and are super cute and unique.   I am so excited to wear the shirt, under jumpers, dresses and get a lot more wear out of a shirt I don't wear as its a bit plain!

I suggest everyone gets some and has a go!

Haven’t really down anything digital for a while but have enjoyed this pattern making and little drawing.

 I might print onto some postcard and maybe translate this onto some stamps as well and see how that goes.  It’s nice to just make stuff with no focus on what it has to become.
