Sunday Sevens #24 – The Weekly Blog Series

I’m being a bit awkward this week (sorry!) as I have made a new Sunday Sevens image for your lovely sidebars!  I felt the other one wasn’t really appropriate as Sunday Sevens isn’t really a link party…. it is much more of a series!  I haven’t made it into a button though … it’s just an image that you can save and insert into your sidebar as an image widget and link back to this post 🙂

This image is 300 x 300 so you may need to scale it down to suit your widget/post!

If you are here for the first time… I’m going to give you the low down on the Sunday Sevens blog series.  Each week, we do things that don’t necessarily warrant a full blog post.  You may have made a nice meal, grabbed some bargains on a shopping trip, had a family day out, spotted some beautiful scenery or just done something you feel you want to share.  A Sunday Sevens blog post is the place to share those things.  You take 7 images from your week and post them every Sunday with a small description.  Tag your post using #sundaysevens on your blog and social media.  I also pin the posts onto the Sunday Sevens Pinterest Board.

The Week of Megan Dresses

I havent deviated from my plan yet! I am still working systematically through the Love At First Stitch book from Tilly Walnes. The next project in the book is the Megan dress. This is a dress that had appeared on my Twitter and Instagram feed quite a lot recently so I was really looking forward to making one for myself. I didn’t have any medium weight cottons in so chose firm woven polyester knits for both makes!

 Welcome to Talented Tuesday No. 16!

People have had more snow this week!! Crazy!  And as I’m sat here writing this, dark clouds are rolling in 😦  So I am already eagerly waiting for the link ups this week.  Make sure to link up and check out the other links too.  I’m sure that there will be lots of craft and cooking ideas for if you’re snowed in…or if you just fancy doing something different!

Sunday Sevens #22

Sunday Sevens is a weekly blog series where you post 7 photos from your week. Sometimes things happen in our lives that aren’t worth a full blog post but are worth sharing, so here is the blog series to do just that! Just write your own blog post, share your own set of photos and use the #sundaysevens tag. The Pinterest board is here…. feel free to share it! Grab the picture below for your blog and link it back to me 🙂

Here are my Sunday Sevens 😀

1. We are trying to eat better. We haven’t cut all traces of fat out of our meals because I like to have a balanced diet. But we have cut crisps (chips!) and candy out almost completely, and we are trying cook meals from scratch rather than use processed meal sauces and mixes. Here is Adam with his homemade chipotle beef burgers…they were delicious!

Talented Tuesday Link Party – No. 14

 Welcome to Talented Tuesday No. 14!

Superbowl…what did you think to it?  I’ve never really experienced it before at all but thought I had better get into it a little bit more now I’m in the US.  There were LOADS of Super Bowl party posts flying around and I loved seeing how creative people were being.  I tuned in for the half time show and loved Miss Perry and Missy Elliott!  We watched a little bit of the game but I still can’t get my head around American football so we didn’t watch it all 🙂  I’m looking forward to seeing your linked up posts this week…I wonder whether there will be any Superbowl ones?
