Getting Creative!

Happy Sunday everyone!

If you read my last blog then you know that there is a huge thing going on at the moment!! As soon as I am able to share more I will. But it does mean that I have been somewhat slack on filming videos and uploading to YouTube! Sorry about that!

Today however I have set aside some time to do a bit of filming so that I have something good for you for next week, and I am also hoping that I will be able to get a video up later on today but I am still working on that. It's a lonnggg video so trying to cut it down has been a little bit of a nightmare!

I am going to be filming LOTS in the next week though as I won't be able to film over around 4 weeks but I still want to be uploading! As always if anyone has anything that they want to see let me know! Can't stress enough I am doing this to try and depart some tips and tricks for you guys, so I want to make sure that what I am uploading is useful and what people want to see! If you have any requests, there is a link at the top of my blog to my Facebook page, leave me a comment, or comment on this post and I will make sure I have a look any suggestions and see what I can do!

I hope you all have a nice Sunday planned whether its a busy one or a nice chilled out Sunday :)

I personally have a very busy one and I have been up fairly early this morning writing lists, making sure that I have everything in check for what I want to have done by the end of the day!

A Passion for Creating

If you are anything like me you will understand where I am coming from.

I just have an out-right passion for creating, whether this is a make-up look, a sewing project, musically or anything else for that matter. All I want to do is get creating!

So based on this I am just here to update you on the YouTube videos, I have had a lot of comments on them and feedback from people, which is great. And I am so pleased that everyone is enjoying them so much.

I love making the videos and the whole process that goes with them, the editing, the filming.

If anyone has any tutorials which they want to see then just let me know.

I have had a few requests already which as soon as I have my new camera I will get those uploaded for you! I have had requests for an eyebrow tutorial, a demonstration of false eyelashes and another for eyeliner.

All of these will need close ups so that you can see what I am up to! So I promise as soon as I get my new camera with a decent zoom on it I will get these made and uploaded for you.

But if anyone wants any other tutorials or make-up look demonstrations then just let me know! Either leave me a comment on one of my videos, drop me a Facebook message or even a comment on here!

I hope you have all had a good start to the week! 

Keep smiling.

This skirt was made for walking... and that's just what I'll do!

Couldn't resist a song related title... yes I change the words, if you couldn't tell from that today, I wore my skirt which I made last week to work for the first time :)

This is what I paired it with today, my spotty dotty shirt, I am in loveeee with spots!

Very good feedback at work, a lot of people really like it. I wasn't sure though whether it was an actual liking for the skirt or sheer amazement that I had actually managed to make it! Got to have faith in the people... I am going with they liked it!

So sat editing my next video tonight which I am really excited about releasing on Friday (who can't be excited about tanning!) I really can't decide whether or not to put in a couple of the bloopers / out-takes. There's just two and their quirky but at the same time I think that the video is long enough. And quite frankly maybe the wider world isn't ready yet for me to release some Emily reality TV,  I think I need to ease people in to the uncut reality!

If you have thoughts either way drop me a comment below or come on over to Facebook and leave me a little post.

I am in a very positive mood this evening! (if you haven't guessed already I am all about the positive energy in life) I happened to be around a conversation today which was so negative and I just sat there thinking "if you keep talking situations down you are only going to make yourselves feel worse, why are you doing this to yourselves?!?" I was thinking that I was the only one who spends time wishing all the negativity away, I happened to catch a YouTube video tonight all about positivity and it only reinforced everything which I already believed/thought. Felt good knowing I am not the only one who is always trying to put a positive spin on things!

So stay happy, whatever is going on, just think of your 20 positive things and you will feel much better. (Cheese alert!) If everyone strived to spread happiness and positiveness around them every day then the world would be a better place!

Ever want inspiration or a challenge to try making a positive change, just check back here I will give you some ideas!!

Keep smiling!

My first stitches!

This week I have set about ticking off another one of my New Year's resolutions, learning to sew. With the expert guide of my mother who has a ridiculous amount of knowledge and experience I have learnt a whole array of information and techniques for sewing. And I am extremely proud to say that I have not only made my first piece of clothing, but that I managed to finish it in just two days, and managed to finish it to a standard that I am happy with (being a perfectionist is not always an easy thing!).

I am extremely pleased with how it turned out. We decided to make my first sewing project a nice easy one to start with, that could teach me the basics so that I can move on to more advanced things with more confidence in pattern reading as well as general construction.

This is the completed item

(Sorry the picture is naff, I was taking it in a hurry. I am sure I will have a better picture at some point!)


One very simple black A line skirt. I am really pleased with it, and I have most definitely caught the sewing bug. I will most definitely be moving on to my next project of a blouse very soon!

Onto other things in the world, my new YouTube video will be going up on Friday this week. As I said in the previous post I am away from my usual location at the moment and have extremely slow internet! Once I am a little more reconnected to the technological world again, I will post my next video! How exciting! An actual tutorial! Lets just hope that some one finds it useful, or better yet actually watches it!

As for now I am going to go and prance around in my lovely new skirt!
