How To || Calico Room Quotes

Aloha friends! I'm back with a new How-To post! Today I'm going to show you how to make a really unique and cute room decoration!

You will need:

Stamps

Ink

Calico (or any plain fabric)

That's it!

How To:

1. Lay out your fabric (you should probably iron it first, I did't)

2. Have a quote in your head that you want to write

3. Stamp away to your hearts content

4. Cut around the quote on the fabric

5. Iron again to lock in the ink

6. Display!

I hung mine up along a clothesline I made with some string.

What are your favourite quotes?

Over and out,

Erin.

Blog Re-Designing.

Hey everyone!

Since I made my last post on wanting to change up my blog & its design I've been working really hard to do just that, so I thought I'd write a little bit of an update post on how things are going :) You might even notice some of the changes already on my blog!

Firstly I got myself a sketchbook and started drawing out different designs for my title. (I've decided to do a different one for each season & special occasions. I'm so excited for the seasons to change now so I can change them!

After I'd drawn them up I started making them on the computer, and I really like how they turned out. Which one is your favourite??? (I think mine is Autumn)

I've also drawn these section break dots, and other things such as my "follow me on bloglovin" button, and a picture frame for my about me. (You can see both of them on the sidebar)

Overall I'm really enjoying redesigning my blog! I even have a new hand-drawn outro! I still have a bit more work to do though. How do you like the changes? 

Why do you follow this blog?

Hello everyone!

Recently I have been doing a lot of thinking (probably a bit more than is healthy) but I have decided that I really want to start blogging more seriously and improve my blog over all. Next week I have a week off university so I am going to dedicate some of that time to giving my blog a makeover and hopefully get it looking a little bit more organised.

I'm also going to start trying some sort of plan as to what posts I will make and when I will make them, at the moment I just tend to write heaps of posts at once and then queue them so one posts per week. This will not do! I need posts that I enjoy doing and writing about and also posts that others will enjoy too.

So I was wondering: Why do you follow this blog? Yes you. The one reading this right now. Are there a particular type of my posts that you like? Crafts? Hair? etc. I would love if you could let me know so I can improve!

I'm going to set myself the goal of gaining those last 5 followers to make 50 before I go back to uni on October 8th. Here's to some hard work and blog dedication!

All comments are welcome!
