Moving House!

Before I start I just wanted to wish all the mothers out there a very Happy Mothers Day! 

Oh dear I notice my blog has been lacking in posts recently.. for this I am very sorry. I wont make excuses because thats not what I'm here for. 

Finally after what feels like forever... I am finally moving into my own little flat. 

Moving house is never an easy task, having moved a lot in my little life time I can tell ya its bloomin' stressful and I suspects temperatures will rise as the stress levels increase.

Its alot of faffing about with what to put into each box, making sure you remember everything, trying to stuff everything into the van and of course unloading and unpacking although Its the building of furniture that really tests a relationship. Believe me men don't want your help where DIY is involved and I guarantee you will regret helping him if you do ;) learn from my mistakes ladies HAHA.

Best part of moving has to be buying things for the house. I never knew that at the age of 23 I would get so excited about going to IKEA! So I've splurged a bit and probably bought things I shouldn't have but this is what moving is about. Note to self, make list of necessary items before visiting IKEA.

TK-Max is the place to go for decorative items. They have so many pretty, pretty things I wanted to buy.... Ryan however said no.. Damn men for being so practical all the time.

Okay so anyway before I bore you by listing items I bought from where I will STOP there and say thanks for reading. I know It wasn't the most exciting blog post to read but I promise a proper blog post about moving and lots of pictures very soon :) Bare with me.

Back to packing I go...

Finished Skirt!

After hours, lots of mistakes, and lots of pin pricks, I have finally finished! 

I can't believe I actually made a skirt, and it actually looks not too bad for my first try! 

I made thousands of mistakes, but I know next time to avoid those! ; v ; Im just so happy!

I can't wait to try the same thing with nicer patterned material.

 Here is a close up of the top of the skirt, Its tidy for the most part. The strip I used for the belt to cover the top end of the pleats was shorted than I thought, So I had to improvise with the back.. 

Here is the back. As the skirt was tailored to my waist size, I decided just to add a zip! 

Here is me looking rather derpy with the skirt on. Excuse my shirt, It was what I was wearing at the time >u< I know it doesn't quite go haha

Oooh my legs kinda blend in with my wardrobe there oops lol 

Don't even know...

*skips off to play some mario on the 3DS*

Setting the Date

Me and My fiance Ryan have been together for five years and been engaged for 3 and a half. When he proposed I was just turning 18 and we both decided we wanted a long engagement. His reason for proposing was of course because he loved me but also because my parents were looking to move to South Africa, which meant I had to move with them. By proposing he was making a promise to my father that he loved me and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me, I know "aww" right! So this meant I could stay.

Anyways we finally feel ready to set the date! Not only because Its been 5 years and I feel more than ready to get married but I genuinely know 100% that me and Ryan are meant to be together. We have been through so much together over the five years we have been together, like.. Moving in with each other, moving to a new house together, getting a puppy together, going on holiday together, fighting and making up (more than once of course) My health problems, his family problems, Emigrating to South Africa together! So I feel like we have been through so much, both good and bad, and made it out alive.

We are feeling that we want to set a date within the next two years. Obviously its going to be a little more difficult now that we are here in South Africa, when all our friends, Ryans whole family and half of my family are over in Scotland. However its going to be a lot cheaper to get married here..
A. Because we currently live near a church and the minister can marry us for free
and B. Because we can use the church facilities as a venue for free

So I've just been excited about the prospects of finally being able to plan, So of course I jumped on the internet and started to get some inspiration. Thought I would share some of the things i'm liking the idea of.

So for shoes I fell in love with these, I love the bow and most importantly, the colour! I like the idea of my colour scheme being this royal blue and grey. I just love colourful shoes with a white dress, just pops! And have Ryan in a grey suit a bright blue tie! 

Now I really like this for the centerpieces, maybe with a blue flower though, so inexpensive also and different.

Bridesmaids will be either a light teal powder blue or grey dress, maid of honour will be in a bright blue matching my shoes! I definitely think Ryan will suite a grey suit, white shirt and bright blue tie also matching my shoes EVERYTHING MUST MATCH!

The cakes a hard one because well money doesnt grow on trees and no matter where you go people want an arm and a leg. My mother has said she is more than happy to make my cake for me, yay!

I have to be honest I am in love with cupcake tier cakes, I think they are amazing! 

But then I also really love traditional wedding cakes, so I don't know about this yet!

Oh i'm saving the best for last! The Dress, the most important part!!!! The most exciting part... for me! 

I love, long dresses with sleeves or straps of some kind, I don't want to be pulling my dress up every two minutes. Comfort is very important to me. I also really love lace. Can't say what kind of dress I will end up wearing on the day, still ages yet before I need to worry about it. But I do really like these dresses. I will most likely have my hair down on the day, because I actually get headaches when I tie my hair up. 

So as you can tell I'm just very excited! More wedding ideas and posts to follow haha.
