<u>Create or go on a scavenger/treasure hunt</u></div>

Over the Easter Weekend, myself & Nick decided to go Geocaching!! I had heard of it a few weeks ago but hadn't had the time to properly research it so didn't fully understand what it was all about. So over the weekend I downloaded the app & we decided on the best area to go so we could walk a route.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you haven't heard of it before, you basically look for small capsules that are hidden in the outdoors - on gate posts, signposts, under bushes, in tree stumps! These are marked on a map on the app & you can also ask for a hint if you're struggling to find it. Once you find it, you open the capsule, log your name & the date you found it on the bit of paper inside then put it back exactly where you found it for the next people to find! You can also log it on the app too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are different size capsules, some with small items in which you can move around - but that all gets a bit technical & we are new to the party so just stuck to writing out names. There are literally thousands all over the place & the app it's totally free. It's a really good way to encourage people to get outside. You can pay for the premium version, which allows you to find the more challenging ones - I am seriously considering doing this!</div>

I am not sure if it is cheating my ticking this one off my list as it isn't really a scavenger/treasure hunt but it's a very similar idea & a brilliant way to satisfy your inner nerd! Have you ever been Geocaching before? </div>

Another <a href="http://fizzijaynemakes.blogspot.co.uk/p/craftblogclub.html">Craft Blog Club</a> Challenge! This time is was a "Crafty Resolutions" challenge. Whether it was something new you wanted to learn, or something you had been meaning to do for a while, it was time to finally give it a go! I opted for Cross Stitch. As well as being something I hadn't done before, it was also a gift my Mum got me for my birthday so I definitely needed a kick up the butt to get going with it!</div>

I think for a first timer, I have opted for something quite challenging. But my Mum chose a design she knew I would like once it is completed. It is quite time consuming, although I do really enjoy it. I haven't finished it yet...in fact I'm quite a long way off completing it! But I am pleased that Craft Blog Club gave me the motivation I needed to get started on it. </div>

The reason I wanted to give Cross Stitch a go was of course due to <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/ZoFlo1990/cross-stitch/">Pinterest</a>. I have seen loads of great Cross Stitch designs on clothes & it looks so cute - very <i>boho</i>! So of course I wanted to learn the skill so I could do some DIY of my own to liven up some of my plain tops/dresses/skirts! My absolute favourite is this dress I saw a while back on Pinterest - isn't it so beautiful?!<br />

The other day I was organising my fabric & pattern stash. I didn't realise how many patterns I had until I whipped around my sewing room & collected them all up, so I thought it was only fair to share my favourite ones with you.</div>

I am currently using the New Look K6144 pattern for a dress making project I am working on. It is really easy to follow, although it has been a while since I have had to sew darts so I had to really think about what I was doing!<br />

I used this pattern to make my Mums Christmas gift. It was free from the Daily Mail & is the most simple pattern ever!<br />

I recently got some really cheap, thick upholstery material from a Flea Market which I plan to make a skirt with (which also cost me £1.50 for a meter & a half). It always takes me a while to decide, but I have managed to whittle it down to 2 options - the New Look K6217 or K6107! Which one would you pick?<br />

I have finally organised everything nicely, into a vintage suitcase that use to belong to my grandparents. It is very snug so just means I can't make any more purchases for a while...<br />

Hey remember that <a href="http://zoflo.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/101-things-in-1001-days-26.html">competition</a> I won last summer? Well here's another review of one of the kits I won - this time it's the<a href="http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/kirstie-allsopp-button-jewellery-making-kit/593489-1000?gclid=Cj0KEQiAjMC2BRC34oGKqY27jtkBEiQAwSXzfkm2r4ur_rNvyfnleC-K_jW6X4xqghUafh7dzUGHyyoaArsc8P8HAQ"> Kirstie Allsopp Button Kit</a>. The buttons can be used for lots of different crafts, but I jumped straight into jewellery making (crossing off another of my <a href="http://zoflo.blogspot.co.uk/p/i-have-seen-this-on-other-blogs-and-i.html">101 Things</a>). </div>

I decided to create my own bracelet using yellow, cream & grey buttons. You get lots of different charms included in the kit, which I absolutely love! I did add a couple to my bracelet but it seemed a bit much, so I decided to stick to one; a cute safety pin! </div>

I found this kit super easy to use & there are so many things you can use the buttons for. The only thing I would say is that the necklace chain is rather short (literally it is almost a choker) which is a shame as I love a good necklace! But nevertheless, it is a lovely little kit that could be a great give for an avid crafter or someone who is new to the crafting scene! </div>

I think we can all agree that I am not very good at updating you on my crafty purchases, with my last <a href="http://zoflo.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Crafty%20Haul">Crafty Haul</a> being in May 2015. As I have treated myself to a couple of bits recently, I thought I would share them with you all.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As you all know, I recently won tickets to the <a href="http://zoflo.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/the-craft4crafters-show.html">Craft4Crafters Show</a> in Exeter where I picked up some really lovely fabric at a great price. I have some really great projects line up for both of these fabrics, which I can't wait to share with you when they are done. </div>

I recently saw a project idea that really caught my eye; a cute clutch bag with a purse clasp. So when I popped into <a href="http://milliemoonshop.co.uk/">Millie Moon</a> & saw this oversized purse clasp, I just <i>had </i>to get it! They had lots of different sizes available, with this one costing £5. It was a bit of an impulse buy, but I have some fabric in my stash that I immediately had in mind for this project so that made it slightly more acceptable. I also picked up a burgundy zip, for a sewing project I am currently working on...</div>

I am yet to receive my next item, but I can't wait for them to arrive; Line Painter Pens! I have a project in mind for these, which I why I purchased them (obviously) so I will be sure to update you all when I use them & let you know what I think of them. I found these on <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Derwent-Graphik-Painter-Coloured-Paint/dp/B00MR5I2RE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1456265719&sr=8-2&keywords=painter+pens">Amazon</a> & they only cost around £10.<br />

Remember that time last summer when I was lucky enough to <a href="http://zoflo.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/101-things-in-1001-days-26.html">win a box of goodies in a competition</a>? Well, I have <i>finally</i> cracked open the <a href="http://reviews.hobbycraft.co.uk/3707-en_gb/6010941000/get-crafty-get-crafty-card-and-decoupage-starter-kit-reviews/reviews.htm">Get Crafty Card & Decoupage Starter Kit</a>. Ill be totally honest with you, I wasn't convinced from the look of the designs on the box. It didn't look very "cool" or "fancy" so I just popped it on the shelf & there it stayed. But ya know what? It's lush. I feel really bad & it just proves you shouldn't judge a crafting kit by the box....! </div>

The kit comes with a pack of plain white cards & envelopes, a pack of 3D Foam Squares & loads of cute decoupage designs to make beautiful handmade cards! It is so simple to do & super quick too. If you ever forget a friend's birthday you could knock them up a lovely homemade card in a flash & they wouldn't know any different! It is the perfect kit for beginners & I actually really enjoyed having a go at it whilst watching TV. </div>

I only did 2 cards for the time being - I didn't want to get carried away & waste the supplies! I did use some extra patterned card with mine too, just to add a little more colour to my designs. You could really add anything you like to it; buttons, ribbon, even mix the different decoupage designs together. I'm pretty pleased with my designs & can't wait to have an occasion to make another one! </div>

After a surprisingly quick drive to Exeter in the world's worst driving conditions(!) We went straight to the nearest cafe to grab a cup of tea & plan what we wanted to buy. I had 4 dressmaking patterns with me so we had a look at those to decide on which ones I should go with.</div>

I found it so difficult to make a decision on fabric so spent a lot of time going back & forth comparing! I obviously chose some fabric from the cheaper stand (a very girly navy blue floral fabric @ £5 per meter) but also chose to treat myself to a slightly more expensive fabric too (some gorgeous burgundy fabric with dragonflies on @ £8 per meter). I think I was very good at being sensible as I could of spent much <i>much</i> more! </div>

<u>Go for Afternoon Tea</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year for my birthday I went with a friend to a local spa. It was really lovely to spend the day relaxing & our package also included a Facial followed by Afternoon Tea! I always love the idea of Afternoon Tea, as it is a more ladylike way of stuffing your face with sandwiches & cakes....!! </div>

I always think handmade cards are the best - but Valentine's Day can be a tricky one. I have a simple Valentines Day Card idea which is super cute & "cool" (for those that are in new relations & don't want to seem too clingy/loved up)! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguF-2Lc0Eptd78gYfQMfYytaW9xMj8MULOFeZYUGrS4gk1MaD42ajP8Cw9U64XJd9mvTIaHcZgfqr5H5mBIPaGsJ23K88hyphenhyphentGOIzhXQNPtzWpId2rvFLJBssHi-n9IARqHB4_lsIRjqU6i/s1600/IMG_5374.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguF-2Lc0Eptd78gYfQMfYytaW9xMj8MULOFeZYUGrS4gk1MaD42ajP8Cw9U64XJd9mvTIaHcZgfqr5H5mBIPaGsJ23K88hyphenhyphentGOIzhXQNPtzWpId2rvFLJBssHi-n9IARqHB4_lsIRjqU6i/s400/IMG_5374.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To make your card you all need:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>White Card</li>
<li>Coloured/Patterned Card </li>
<li>Craft knife (with a cutting matt)</li>
<li>Glue</li>
<li>Pencil & Rubber</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I obviously stumbled across the idea on Pinterest & after much searching, I managed to find the perfect <a href="http://abrilliant-life.com/2013/02/14/i-%e2%99%a1-you-diy-pop-up/">printable template</a>. Once you have printed your template & cut it out....<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li style="text-align: left;">Use your pencil to carefully draw around your template on to the white card, remembering to mark which lines to fold & which ones to cut. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Using your craft knife (& cutting matt) cut along the correct lines. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Gently fold along the correct lines to create a 3D/Pop-up effect.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><i>Very </i>carefully rub out any pencil lines that may be showing, taking care not to rip the card.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"> Once you are happy with the way it looks, glue the back of the white card & carefully stick it to the patterned card (it is easier to do this if you fold both cards in half first & stick down one half at a time)</li>
</ol>
<div>
....and you're done! </div>
</div>

Last summer I received a box full of goodies in a <a href="http://zoflo.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/101-things-in-1001-days-26.html">competition</a> I won. I have been slowly working my way through all of the different sets, so I can review them all for you as well. Before Christmas I was in desperate need of a new make up bag. When I remembered I had the<a href="http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/kirstie-allsopp-cosmetic-bag-kit/599782-1000"> Kirstie Allsopp Cosmetic Bag Kit</a> I was super excited...! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kit comes with the most beautiful contrasting fabrics for the outside & lining, along with a matching pink zip, fusible interfacing & a needle & thread. Everything is already measure out correctly so it is just a case of cutting it out - super easy & a major time saver! Measuring our patterns can be a tedious task. The instructions are really simple to follow - I didn't get headloss once (I do sometimes get frustrated when I can get it right)! I pretty much followed the instructions completely, apart from the pocket on the front, which I chose to keep as one big pocket (rather than 3 smaller ones). I really took my time with this project, as I I knew it would be something I would use everyday, so wanted it to be perfect. I did it over two evening's but you could quite easily do it in an afternoon, depending on your ability. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would say it is a perfect project for beginners & would make a really nice gift for someone who wants to get into sewing. I am really pleased with my finished Cosmetic Bag, although I do struggle to fit all of my make-up in it! I really love Kirstie Allsopps products & am really looking forward to trying out some of the other sets I won.</div>

<u>Buy a pair of Ray Bans</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I wrote my list of 101 Things, I am guessing I imagined myself buying a pair of Ray Ban Sunglasses! Unfortunately I am blessed with having poor eye sight, so prescription glasses are much more essential than a cool pair of "sunnies" these days. My last pair of glasses were a small pair of Red or Dead glasses, which were "on trend" when I purchased them...7 years ago! So it really was time for an upgrade. I always feel really under pressure when I'm trying on new glasses in the shops, so decided to order some from <a href="https://www.glassesdirect.co.uk/">Glasses Direct</a> this time. You can order up to 4 different pairs for a free 7 day home trial. Try them on in the comfort of your own home with no shop assistant bugging you - perfect! I knew I wanted slightly bigger frames this time, so order 3 different pairs - the Ray Bans were immediately my favourite ones! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisgVinbu0j1OfxJaTEpwzWfEyYJAWe0NWgFoU3QKgWOGhclvZ_CRwIKafRH8G2MrRJmPPaP7JBUcPQsh3uyfDINpDGkjPyeCW-ivBVJGQIAp2Lsl819l-EHHFTzA-4MVW0i5OB4s6ix3Xk/s1600/IMG_5395.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisgVinbu0j1OfxJaTEpwzWfEyYJAWe0NWgFoU3QKgWOGhclvZ_CRwIKafRH8G2MrRJmPPaP7JBUcPQsh3uyfDINpDGkjPyeCW-ivBVJGQIAp2Lsl819l-EHHFTzA-4MVW0i5OB4s6ix3Xk/s320/IMG_5395.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once I had sent back my free trial glasses, I uploaded my prescription on their website. I actually uploaded it totally wrong (as I really don't understand what any of it means) but I emailed Customer Support who were really helpful & input my prescription correctly for me. As I ordered them on Christmas Eve, I wasn't expecting them to arrive any time soon...so when they arrived just before the New Year I was super impressed!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely love my Ray Bans & would 100% recommend Glasses Direct to anyone wanting to find designer glasses at reasonable prices! Maybe one day I'll have some "cool" Ray Ban Sunglasses too - but as these ones help me see & stop my migraines, I'm happy for now...</div>

A little while ago (before my little blogging break) I took on <i>another</i> little upholstery project - a large foot stall. It has become a much loved piece of furniture in our lounge & gets used all the time! Visitors often comment on how lovely it is & say how clever I am for being able to do it all by myself. But you know what? It's so simple, literally anyone could do it. I promise. So I thought I would share some little tips with you all, to hopefully inspire others to give it a try...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">It's not as scary as it looks - honest! </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Start Simple </b>- admittedly my first upholstery project was an <a href="http://zoflo.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/upholstery-part-3.html">arm chair</a>. However I was doing it with my Gran, who knew her stuff! Pick something simple, like a small foot stall, that will be easy to complete so you don't lose interest. </li>
<li><b>It doesn't have to be expensive </b>- once I got the upholstery bug, I was always on Gum Tree searching for bargains. My large foot stall cost me £20 (on Gum Tree) & I picked up my <a href="http://zoflo.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/101-things-in-1001-days-44.html">small foot stall</a> for £4 at a car boot. Material can be costly, but I managed to find some at a local <a href="http://zoflo.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/101-things-in-1001-days-93.html">Flea Market</a> for only £1.50 a meter! Don't forget to take a look at Free Cycle or your local Buy, Sell, Swap Facebook Pages too!</li>
<li><b>Be careful when unpicking </b>- if you're removing the old material, do it carefully. You can use the old material as a rough pattern for your new material. You can also see how it has been shaped around any corners. </li>
<li><b>Take your time </b>- there really is no rush. Really take your time so you can understand the best way to complete your upholstery project. If you can feel yourself getting impatient or rushing it, step away for 5 minutes. You really don't want to rush it & ruin it if it is something you'll have to look at every day. Trust me. It's very annoying...! </li>
</ul>

Last summer, one of my <a href="http://zoflo.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/100-happy-days-challenge-completed.html">100 Happy Days</a> was that I became an official Make-a-Wish Volunteer. It is something I had thought about doing for a long time, as I had worked with the charity in a previous job. I was able to understand first hand the positivity that the charity are able to create during such a difficult time, so being able to offer them a helping hand once in a while was important to me. </div>

I have only done the odd bucket collection but hope to be able to help out much more this year. It is nice to be able to do something so simple but know that it is helping to make a real difference. It is also a tick off of my 101 Things list...!</div>

<u>Give (more) blood</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just before Christmas I gave blood. This is something I try to do regularly, although sometimes various other commitments get in the way. I was really pleased when I received an email to say I had reached my first milestone - I have donated 5 pints! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg08nzRMXAe3KdQe_xW8UCtIfZvL0I3d0iBNE0B6bBQZyt29y9C23IaZ6J4OG_i7GvPEG66IT0MuDDI_-6hK5biJIVu-Uwofj0u1v_0djeKr3LNPjoh1oPaJhdpxuztTVYiuxZkAMke3Lpz/s1600/FullSizeRender-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="165" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg08nzRMXAe3KdQe_xW8UCtIfZvL0I3d0iBNE0B6bBQZyt29y9C23IaZ6J4OG_i7GvPEG66IT0MuDDI_-6hK5biJIVu-Uwofj0u1v_0djeKr3LNPjoh1oPaJhdpxuztTVYiuxZkAMke3Lpz/s320/FullSizeRender-3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It sounds silly, but this has definitely motivated me to donate more regularly, so I can reach the next milestone! As well as this, I know a few people who have had to have blood transfusions, so giving up an hour of my time doesn't really seem much when you consider the lives it could save. I know some people can't give blood for various reasons, but if you are able to then I would really recommend giving it a go (unless you're scared of needles or prone to fainting). It really doesn't hurt & you even get free tea & biscuits. </div>

A few months ago, my Mum mentioned that she wanted me to make her a new apron. As it was leading up to Christmas I though this would be the perfect gift!<br />
<br />
I already had a pattern for it, which my Gran got from the Daily Mail (they had a token collection thing a while back which resulted in her receiving a whole load of free patterns, which I was more than happy to take off her hands...) & the fabric was an absolute steal from Hobbycraft at £6 a meter! I picked a cute, baby pink binding that complimented the pink shades in the material - very girly so perfect for my Mum! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I am sure you can imagine, it was super easy. Just a case of cutting out the fabric, hemming it & sewing on the binding. It also included a pocket on the front. </div>

Happy New Year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like many others, when the New Year approaches I immediately begin thinking of ways to improve my life. But if I am being totally honest with you, 2015 was a great year for me...so I don't really feel the need to make any dramatic changes. One thing I am certain of though is that I want to push myself more when it comes to sewing.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here are a list of my 2016 Sewing Resolutions:<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Challenge myself </b>- I always play it safe by making simple skirts or tops. I want to try new things this year so I can extend my skills & learn new things. </li>
<li><b>Make more clothes than I buy </b>- this will be difficult one, but by the end of 2016 I want the majority of my wardrobe to be handmade.</li>
<li><b>Sew my holiday wardrobe </b>- okay so maybe not all of it, but Nick got me the<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sew-Many-Dresses-Little-Time/dp/0770434940"> Sew Many Dresses, Sew Little Time</a> book for Christmas. <i>Sew</i> (sorry) many of the dresses in the book will be perfect for our holiday. </li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I also have a few blogging resolutions too...<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Get organised! - </b>This is a big one for me. I have only recently started scheduling posts & would love to be able to prepare more blog posts in advance so it becomes less of a chore. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Meet more bloggers - </b>I would love to go to a bloggers event or meet up with some fellow Somerset / South West Bloggers this year. I have met lots of lovely people online, so would be great to be able to meet some of these people in real life!! </li>
</ul>
<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Only a small list, but hopefully it will help to motivate me in 2016. I will of course update you on through the year! Do you have any New Years Resolutions?</div>

It's Craft Blog Club Secret Santa time! This is the second year I have taken part & I love it - you can see last year's post <a href="http://zoflo.blogspot.co.uk/2014_12_01_archive.html">here</a>! It's a great way to find new bloggers as well as being creative! I was given Dominique, a fellow member of Craft Blog Club who I had never come across before (see, it really is a great way to find new people) so I immediately browsed her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MissDoubleDomDoes">Etsy Shop</a>, to be sure I didn't sent something she already makes herself. I am loving decoupage at the moment, so settled on creating a lovely, colourful decoupage photo frame. I also made a decoupage Christmas decoration, as it is Christmas & all...! </div>

On Christmas Eve Eve, I had a card from the postman to say my package was at the sorting office. I totally forgot about Secret Santa so was super excited when I realised what it was! So excited that I opened my gift on Christmas Eve! My gift was from <a href="https://shelleymakes.wordpress.com/">Shelley Makes</a> & it was so lovely. She noticed that I liked Sewing Bee & Bake Off so combined the two & made me a cute little sewing wallet & a Pin Cushion Ring! I love them both & can't wait to use them....especially the Pin Cushion Ring! </div>

As a Pre-Christmas treat, I booked for myself & Nick to go to Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park in London. Nick hasn't been before & he loves Christmas so it was the perfect surprise for him! I had been previously but never really had the opportunity to really soak up the atmosphere & explore it all properly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I booked for us both to go to Zippos Circus & Ice Skating - another tick off my 101 Things (although I have been Ice Skating twice since starting this list....)! </div>

9 sleeps to go! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every year my Mum makes her own centre piece to go on the table on Christmas Day. It always looks so lovely so I thought this year I would give it a go too! I picked up the cutest little robin from a local garden centre along with some oasis. I then ventured off to my grandparents house to attack their holly tree. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioLWoBNU1JFpvszTY41Fh6eD6TJDWMzr13WbGq_OAc7kon7H1wMLXNEBXGe7aoeGGa7WltCCgvDHhehSqDaZOShzxg_BMrZwCJ24pWBcjUgD3CK7wHKwpsYHWT6o5hz0MarzVlNNJUEv35/s1600/IMG_4940.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioLWoBNU1JFpvszTY41Fh6eD6TJDWMzr13WbGq_OAc7kon7H1wMLXNEBXGe7aoeGGa7WltCCgvDHhehSqDaZOShzxg_BMrZwCJ24pWBcjUgD3CK7wHKwpsYHWT6o5hz0MarzVlNNJUEv35/s320/IMG_4940.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, this year there wasn't many berries on them & any that did have a few on fell off! Once I had gathered my holly clippings & soaked the oasis in water, I was ready to begin. I chose to arrange mine in a cute polka dot tin jug (borrowed from my Gran!) but you could use anything you prefer. I cut down the stems to the right length & pulled off any unwanted holly before pushing them into the oasis & arranging in the jug. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Please Note</b>: Holly leaves are prickly & can really bloody hurt! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was really pleased with how it turned out, although it took me a little while to get it looking the way I wanted. The robin is perfect & adds a lovely bit of colour too! It's definitely something to take your time on!</div>

<br />
Happy Wednesday! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every Christmas I always decide I want to make my own advent calendar but I'm usually too late or never get around to doing it. So this year I made sure I was prepared - well kind of! I purchased the wooden tree from Hobbycraft back in November, which was £15. Not bad considering you can use it as many times as you like. I knew I wanted to paint the tree & decoupage the drawers but wasn't sure what colours to go with. I opted for a blue, white & red Christmassy Deco Maché paper, which I cannot for the life of me find the paper I used on the Hobbycraft website! I went for stripes with the paper as I tried randomly sticking the paper on & it didn't really work.<br />
<br />

I settled on using Farrow & Ball Green Blue paint (No. 84) - mainly because I already had a small pot of it at home & was dying to use it for something! When I had finished painting it I was surprised with how lovely the colour was - it actually matched the decoupage paper really well too! I finished it with a little wooden heart shaped card topper that says "Merry Christmas". Very cute. I am really pleased with the way it looks - it sits on the sideboard in our lounge so everyone who visits can see it! I have had lots of lovely comments from friends/family. The only thing missing are the numbers. Hobbycraft had sold out & I couldn't find anything I really liked elsewhere. We have decided to open them top to bottom instead of using numbers - maybe I'll add them on in time for next Christmas...!<br />

<u>Work in a Job I love!</u><br />
<br />
Well hello there! It's been a <i>long </i>time I know (sorry)! There are a number of reasons for my absence, with the main one being a new job I started back in September! Starting a new job is scary, but I was super nervous as since finishing university last summer, I just hadn't really settled anywhere & found a job role that I really felt happy in. Within the first week I knew this job was just perfect for me. <i>Phew! </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those of you wondering, I work for my local Mind Charity as a Community Fundraiser. Mental Health is a topic I find so fascinating & have a great passion for so when I was offered the job, I kinda knew I would love it! And the job role is perfect for me as I am actually able to put my degree to good use! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjE_HyZFjflso2hyIssSfR7TO4-W3BmBXrmQGdfUjzQbYGn155vILztOGUCTNgRyxLxIU_fZfXxqZfWPJf18-PEVqkCiTml5uuUbL9IPusHiF9M2KspL6_eYHgv_C-kPxRlR6URuawKd8r/s400/timthumb.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have always been a person who loves being challenged & learning new things, which this job role certainly offers me! I get bored easily so working on lots of different projects at once keeps me motivated and I really love being able to use my creativity to come up with my own ideas too. I think its safe to say that this is a big fat tick on my 101 Things & I am so pleased, as I was starting to wonder if this one was a little unrealistic!<br />
<br />
Now that I am settled in my new job, I am going to start blogging regularly again as I have really missed it. If you enjoy reading my posts, please do comment!<br />

<u>Upload a Video on YouTube</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I wrote this, I am pretty sure I had in mind some kind of DIY Tutorial or similar. But I'll be totally honest with you - I would find that hideously awkward! I wouldn't even know where to begin & definitely don't have the confidence to sit in front of a camera & babble on before uploading it for all to see. <i>Scary</i>! So instead, I have settled for a lovely little GoPro video edit of a Sunday bike ride in the sun we had a few weeks ago. It was a lovely day & we didn't have much else to do. I got Nick the GoPro for his Birthday so we thought it would be fun to test it out. I did a <b>very</b> basic video edit & added in some music. It was really fun & I want to make so many more videos of our day trips/adventures so watch this space (although I wouldn't ever do a proper vlog as again, I think I would be too awkward). So here is my first (very simple) YouTube video.</div>

Some highlights of my 100 Happy Days include <a href="http://zoflo.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/101-things-in-1001-days-26.html">winning a competition</a>, being offered a new job, <a href="http://zoflo.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/101-things-in-1001-days-47.html">selling an item on Etsy</a> & becoming a Make-a-Wish Volunteer. Although these are really big & exciting things, I have also learnt to enjoy the simple, everyday things in life - like making a really yummy dinner, reading a good book & spending time with my friends! If you want to take a look at all of my 100 Happy Day photos you can either search the Hashtag "<a href="https://instagram.com/explore/tags/100happydaysofzoflo/">100HappyDaysOfZoFlo</a>" on Instagram or see my blog updates listed below</div>
