Monthly subscription boxes have been massively growing in popularity over the past few years. I've been looking for one to treat myself to for a while and stumbled upon '<a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/" target="_blank">Glossybox</a>'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are a few things that tempted me to try this box, first of all that you get a variety of beauty products, not just make up. I tend to stick to the same skincare routine and thought it would be refreshing to receive some new and exciting things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I live in quite a small area so I don't really have much of a chance to get to the big beauty shops to browse anymore, I wanted a box that would give me a few different products a month to try out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second reason was the price! At £10 + £3.25 P&P it's quite reasonable for a monthly spend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Glossybox June 2016" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/glossybox-june2016.jpg" /><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
June's box arrived this morning, I ordered the box on the 22nd of June which means it only took 3 days to get to me. Really fast shipping, brilliant.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The products came in a gorgeous sturdy pink box and nested safely with tissue paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I received 6 products this month, most of which I still have to try! I'll update here with my thoughts once I've had a chance to sample them properly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 15.6px;">♥ </span>Starskin Smoothing Bio-Cellulose Second Skin Eye Masks, 2 packets. I am really intrigued by these as I've never used an eye mask before, the packet recommends putting them in the fridge 10 minutes before use, they sound really soothing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 15.6px;">♥ </span>Spa To You Natural Konjac Sponge. There are a lot of claims on the back of this sponge packet! The leaflet says this is one of the latest trends from Japan and Korea who always seem to be way ahead in skincare. I'll write back with my thoughts later.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 15.6px;">♥ </span>De Bruyere After Sun Lotion, 50ml. This smells amazing! I don't have an after sun lotion so was really happy to get this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 15.6px;">♥ </span>Ladival Sun Protection Spray SPF 15, 150ml. The SPF count is a bit low for me to use this on a particularly sunny day outdoors, but for everyday wear (when I will be out of the house a little bit) I can see this as being useful. It's got a non-greasy formula which is great again for everyday wear, it definitely feels a lot less greasy than my Nivea sun cream. It also offers protection against four types of UV rays.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 15.6px;">♥ </span>Emite Make Up Lip & Cheek Tint. This one sort of reminds me of Benefit's 'Benetint'. This is the first product of the bunch I tried and it gives my lips a lovely rosy look, although it does tickle a bit when applying it, haha.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 15.6px;">♥ </span>Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor Deep Conditioner, 20ml. I have tried and loved this product in it's full size in the past, so I was happy to receive this little packet. I love Aussie, it's a great quality haircare brand and their conditioners smell divine!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really happy with my first Glossybox! It was lovely to get something in the post all wrapped up and pretty, it almost felt like a present!</div>

It's been a while since Download Festival but I wanted to write a little bit about my experience as a first timer. I've been wanting to go for years, so when I saw the lineup for this year on Sunday the 12th of June, I decided to get day tickets for me and my partner to go and have a feel of the atmosphere.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Download Festival 2016 Mud" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/downloadfest-3.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all, the weather was awful! I felt terrible for those that were there the whole weekend. The ground was completely sodden, everywhere we walked was sloshy mud. I think it looks about the same at Glastonbury this weekend, why oh why would you do this rain?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Download Festival 2016 Hannah and Dave" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/downloadfest-2.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ponchos and wellies were essential, although I saw someone walking through the crowd while we were watching Breaking Benjamin wearing flip-flops! I got <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Splashmacs-Unisex-Adults-Plastic-Poncho/dp/B00DCTMIAQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=clothing&ie=UTF8&qid=1466695211&sr=1-1&keywords=Splashmacs+Unisex+Adults+Plastic+Poncho" target="_blank">these ponchos</a> before we went and I'm so glad I did! They were really big and a lot more hard wearing than the paper thin ones we were planning to pick up from the pound shop.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Download Festival 2016 WWE NXT" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/downloadfest-wwe.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing we saw at Download was actually some live wrestling as NXT had their own tent and events going on throughout the festival. Dave is more of a fan of the wrestling than me, although I did enjoy myself.<br />
We got a really great spot close to the ring. I laughed a lot and found the wrestling crowd to be pretty funny with their chanting, most of which involved swearing so I won't repeat it here.. Let's just say the referee is something that rhymes with 'banker'.<br />
David Draiman (lead singer of Disturbed) also showed up to watch some wrestling, which was pretty cool, I got to see the back of his head quite close, haha!<br />
<br />
<img alt="Download Festival 2016 Breaking Benjamin" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/downloadfest-breakingbenjamin.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first band we saw properly were Breaking Benjamin, who were one of the main reasons I wanted to go. I've pretty much had their new album on repeat since it came out.. They've never toured in the UK before so when I heard that they were coming to Download on the radio in the months leading up to the festival I did a stupid happy dance (thankfully alone at home so no one could see it).<br />
I can honestly say they didn't disappoint one bit. They were probably in my mind one of the best bands I've ever seen live. Their sound was brilliant, the crowd and atmosphere felt like nothing else. I could see others singing along to this band I've loved for such a long time and felt butterflies in my stomach, I couldn't stop smiling and singing. Benjamin Burnley (the lead singer) kept saying how great it was to be there and you could hear a sincerity in his voice that told you he was having as much of a brilliant time as you were. 'Blow Me Away' was my stand out moment from the set.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Download Festival 2016 Breaking Benjamin" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/downloadfest-disturbed.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We then ran over to the main stage to watch Disturbed. The other band I've been desperate to see for years. I was massively excited last year when they released their newest album Immortalized after a haitus and thought, that means there's a tour on the cards!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since it was the main stage there were loads of people! I loved seeing 'Ten Thousand Fists' in the aiiirr! My favourite moment was seeing the lead singer from Breaking Benjamin coming to sing Killing in the Name with Disturbed, and everyone singing along because Rage always get a crowd going! I could hear Dave singing loudly next to me, and it made me smile a lot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other bands we caught were Jane's Addiction, a little bit of Nightwish and Iron Maiden. I really loved Iron Maiden's stage setup, the visuals were gorgeous, as was the sound, those guys can really rock.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall it was an epic first experience for me at Download and I'd definitely go back again if the lineup was right. Thanks for going with me Dave!</div>

I've been wanting to try fabric paints for a while, just to try a new medium and possibly reduce the strain that my fingers feel from sewing so much. I wasn't sure how the work would turn out. Below is my first attempt at painting an ice cream, which looks quite messy. I think I prefer the little 'errors' you get with hand painting though, it adds a bit of charm. But saying that I'd love to try screen printing in the future, just to neaten and speed things up a bit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/proxy/5eaBdihKR2YHAfTaysYodzyTZmGdxb--PHUtayVNTrxLUDLI6buWe3kRqDcoX2LAvBszZngGMmPGUsnYvX0-71P9Xkcg1z9DoyOUClhBiV-EGPaU" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="PopShopUK Motivational Band-Aid Tattoos Packaging" border="0" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/hand-painting-test-ice-cream.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are my next attempts at hand painting fabric. I took a little more care with the paint and so they turned out a lot neater than the original. I also had more of an idea of the amount of paint I'd need to mix beforehand which helped to eliminate some of the differences in colour. I turned the first one into a pillow but found it was a little too small for my liking, so the three below are slightly larger.<a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/proxy/xzfXgQab4hNo33EPU3ZcuTlLwep-AlZesNrP7lS5H5eT9xWAvsTt-bKbppoy9zxwpBj3OvfuRn2q71PtliprTet4WR_5KVig59UM85nqwwlz8KYi6lA" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="PopShopUK Motivational Band-Aid Tattoos Packaging" border="0" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/hand-painted-ice-cream-pillows.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The details took me a while to complete, the sprinkles and the eyes aren't all perfectly the same shape and size but I think they look great. They have a very different look and feel to them than my original fleece ice cream pillows. It's hard to say which I prefer, these feel a bit more 'sturdy' since cotton seems to hold it's shape slightly better than fleece, although they lose some of their softness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/hand-painted-ice-cream-pillows-closeup.jpg" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll definitely try fabric painting again soon, and may consider expanding my range of pillows next year to include pillows like the ones above. It's so exciting trying a new medium and seeing the finished outcome isn't too bad at all!</div>

I recently reworked some old card designs to get printed and it's nice to see how things improve over time. My photography and editing has gotten a little better, the cards in the newer shots look less overexposed.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="You're just my cup of tea greeting card" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/cup-of-tea-card1.jpg" /><br />
I've improved the colours, darkened and thickened the lines of the artwork and changed the text style.<br />
<br />
<img alt="You're my best friend cute card" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/best-friend-card.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Some designs haven't changed much, but little tweaks here and there are effective.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Happy Birthday Cupcake Card" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/birthday-card-cupcake.jpg" /><br />
My favourite rework so far is the new Happy Birthday card which features bold rainbow text and a happy dancing cupcake. I think the composition worked out well, and all the cards look a lot cleaner. I'll definitely be looking into redoing more older designs in the future!<br />
<br />
Happy Friday everyone!<br />

He was almost 3 years old, which is at the top end of a hamster's life span. It's been strange not seeing him in his cage and hearing him wake up to have a drink throughout the day, to running in his wheel at night. I found it difficult to sleep for the first few nights after he died, mostly because when I closed my eyes I couldn't see the life in him that I had known.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Hamster in cage" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/hamster-liam-2.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">He was a lovely companion to me, and this post is just to say a final goodbye. In heaven you'll always look chubby, have all the carrots you can eat and will be able to run around in your ball whenever you want, without ever hitting any obstacles.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Love you hammy!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Hannah Blog Signature" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/signature.png" /></div>Hannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03262395720821133552noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854254943827196300.post-90813457638143290402015-09-29T11:02:00.000+01:002016-06-06T13:53:28.803+01:00Vistaprint Business Cards & Figuring out Illustrator<div style="text-align: center;">Good morning!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I received an order of business cards from <a href="http://www.vistaprint.co.uk/" target="_blank">Vistaprint</a> earlier today, although I love moo.com's cards they are a bit too expensive for me to keep purchasing them.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Vistaprint offers good quality for the price. I've ordered from them before and although their card isn't as thick as moo.com, I find Vistaprint's cards to be true to colour, clear, and I hadn't found one printing error in the last 500 I ordered, which is very impressive. They also have more frequent discount codes, at the time of ordering I was able to automatically get 25% off without having to wait for a sale or search for a voucher.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Vistaprint Business Cards" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/vistaprint-business-cards.jpg" /><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've also been trying to learn a little bit about the program Adobe Illustrator. I've ordered some new tags for my pillows and wanted to have my shop name properly vectored in my own handwriting to ensure that the quality wouldn't be lost at whatever size I needed it, and also to make sure that no other brand would have the exact same font as me.<br />
<br />
I started with a rough sketch created in PaintTool SAI and took it to Illustrator to vector. It took me a while to get the hang of it, and I still feel like I don't know what I'm doing at all. I'm pretty good at using Photoshop but Illustrator is a whole other ball game. Familiar tools don't do what you assume they will, and I doubt I'll get the hang of it anytime soon, but I'll keep trying.<br />
<br />
I'm using the text below for my Etsy banner, my blog banner above, on my new business cards and soon to arrive pillow tags.<br />
What I love about having vectored text is that it's easy to change anything you'd like without losing quality, I find this especially handy when changing the colour.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="hannahdoodle font" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/hannahdoodle-illustrator-font.jpg" /><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
The rest of today will be spent here at my computer, I'm hoping to get a couple more greeting card designs finalised by Wednesday, because although moo.com are quite expensive, I love the quality of their greeting cards and they're currently having a 25% off sale until midnight tomorrow. Time to get to work!<br />

(around 3.15am in the UK)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I struggled to take a good picture of it because of the light pollution, there are a lot of lamp posts outside my house so there's an orange tinge to the sky of the best picture I managed to get above. I suppose I'd probably have needed to be in a very dark area and with a better camera to take a really breathtaking photo, many of which are circling the web in the aftermath of the moon's ethereal orange glow.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently ordered some new things from Moo.com that I'd love to tell you about today!<br />
Moo.com are a printing company that enable people to get small and larger print runs of their paper products and business cards. Their printing method 'Printfinity' means that you can print a different photo or design on every business card, sticker or greeting card in a pack. No more being stuck with 100 of the same design, every single card has the potential to be a piece of art and the quality of the paper lives up to that.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My order consisted of;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
50 x Matte Rounded Business Cards</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
100 x Matte MiniCards</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 x Sticker Books (with 90 stickers in each book)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
25 Greeting Cards</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I placed my order on the 28th of July and received everything on the 6th of August, just over a week, so a pretty fast turnaround!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Matte Rounded Business Cards</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Moo.com Business Cards Packaging" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/moodotcom-business-cards-packaging.jpg" /><br />
The packaging for the business cards is very sturdy, and easily protected them against damage in transit. The cards come with a little extra, a lovely note that you're meant to pass on to other people, a pretty cool idea!<br />
<br />
<img alt="Moo Business Cards Rounded Corners" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/moodotcom-business-cards-rounded-corners.jpg" /><br />
You can get one design on the front of each card, best for your info, but the other side is a great gallery opportunity. I find it difficult explaining to people what it is that I make, I think my items are very visual, you really need to see them to understand what my style is. It's great to be able to get 10 images without having to pay extra.<br />
I did end up paying a little bit more for the rounded corners, because I think it makes the cards different, and fits in with my cute aesthetic.<br />
Overall the paper quality is excellent, the cards are gorgeously smooth and the image quality is clear (excuse my slightly poor quality photography of these, the photos really don't do them justice).<br />
The only thing that is slightly off are the colours not being as saturated as they are on my computer, and that could be my error due to the file type I provided.<br />
<br />
<b>Matte MiniCards</b><br />
<img alt="Moo.com MiniCards packaging" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/moodotcom-minicards-packaging.jpg" /><br />
I found the idea of the MiniCards to be an adorable one, half the size of a regular business card but perhaps just as much impact. I could see these being used as clothing tags, bookmarks and all sorts of other useful things. The packaging is similar to that of the standard business cards, keeping everything safe.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Moo MiniCards" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/moodotcom-minicards.jpg" /><br />
I chose 16 images to use for these cards, the quality is very much on par with their standard cards. The smallest pack of the MiniCards is 100 vs 50 standard cards for the same price, essentially you get double the quantity for your money, just half the size.<br />
<br />
<b>StickerBooks</b><br />
<img alt="Moo.com Stickerbook" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/moodotcom-stickerbook-1.jpg" /><br />
I've wanted to get some stickers printed for my store packaging for a while now, and when I noticed Moo offered <a href="http://www.moo.com/uk/products/stickerbooks.html" target="_blank">StickerBooks</a> costing £5.15 with 90 stickers I decided to order two to top up my ever dwindling homemade printed sticker supply.<br />
The book cover is a thick 350gsm paper stock, more than adept to protect your new shiny glossy stickers.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Moo.com Stickerbook" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/moo-stickerbook-scale.jpg" /><br />
The quality of the print and look of the glossy vinyl is gorgeous. I've added a 10 pence piece here for scale, as you can see they are quite small, but I found the print to be very smooth and the colours true to the images I provided. Not a fault found in the two packs.<br />
<br />
<b>Greeting Cards</b><br />
<b> <img alt="Moo.com Greeting Cards" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/moodotcom-greeting-cards-review.jpg" /><br />
</b>One thing I was especially excited to receive were the greeting cards. I couldn't find many reviews online that spoke of the quality of them, and was at first hesitant to order any because of their quite high price compared to other printing companies.<br />
The one thing that swayed me was once again their ability to print as many images as you'd like, and being able to get such a small run as 25. A great tester to see how well a design would sell before investing more.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Moo.com Greeting Cards Donut Design hannahdoodle" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/moo-greeting-cards-donut.jpg" /><br />
The greeting cards measure 4.13" x 5.82", which is a bit of an odd one as far as cards go. Luckily Moo offer add on envelopes for reasonable prices, it cost an extra 99 pence to get 25 brown envelopes with my order, but I could see sourcing your own to be a tiny problem, as well as the correct size cellophane sleeves.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Moo.com Greeting Cards Teacup Design hannahdoodle" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/moo-greeting-cards-teacup.jpg" /><br />
The feel of the card is superb, at 340gsm they more than fit the bill for a quality card that's not going to get bent. The scoring and cut on each card was also accurate and neat.<br />
I found the colour quality to be true to the file I provided, I ended up drawing these designs in Moo's recommended CMYK colour values, rather than the standard RGB, as I've read that this can help keep the colours accurate when printed.<br />
<br />
I've printed cards on my standard Epson printer before, but these are 10x crisper, the colours more vivid than I could ever get them to be, and I'm very happy overall with how they turned out.<br />
<br />
The only downside is that the price per unit is quite high, especially if you were considering doing something like wholesaling, but if you wanted to print off a small batch to sell yourself or make your own quality Christmas, Birthday or Thank You cards, this might be the way to go.<br />

After all the talk of Christmas in July I thought it would be a productive time to get a head start on Christmas ornaments this year. I'm usually quite slow compared to a lot of crafters, so getting things done in August is pretty good!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Snowmen Ornaments" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/snowmen-ornaments.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I changed the design of the snowmen from last year, adding little hand knitted scarves and hats with pom-poms, I'm hoping to make a few with the option to either have a name embroidered or perhaps a felt monogram?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Gingerbread Men Ornaments" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/gingerbread-men-ornaments.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also added scarves to the gingerbread men, as well as using twine for the loop rather than ribbon. It's adorable how chunky the scarves look on them, they look very cozy.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Bakers Twine" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/bakers-twine.jpg" /><br />
I'm slightly obsessed with Bakers Twine lately, it adds a really nice touch, especially when packaging orders. It's fantastic how you can get it in so many different colour combinations, and I'm loving this gold flecked twine shown above.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Are you preparing early for Christmas this year?</span><br />

For my birthday at the very end of last year I received an Etsy gift card. (Thank you Thelma, Eric & Sophie!) It took me a good while to decide what I wanted to purchase with it. I changed my mind a few times but eventually settled on a watch I’ve been eyeing for ages from Nottingham based <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/BuckleandCog" target="_blank">Buckle and Cog</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Buckle and Cog Watches Available" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/buckle-and-cog-watches.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(3 of the watches available at Buckle and Cog)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What initially drew me to their designs were the bright patterned interchangeable fabric straps and that they are definitely a beautiful distinctive gem compared to the majority of resellers that seemed to come up in my Etsy search for watches.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Buckle and Cog Packaging" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/buckle-and-cog-1.jpg" /><br />
I ended up ordering <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/205869052/handmade-fabric-watch-galactic-and-white?ref=shop_home_feat_1" target="_blank">this watch (£22)</a> with ‘Galactic’ fabric and a white face, it arrived in a box wrapped in super cute colourful string.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Buckle and Cog Watch Packaging" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/buckle-and-cog-2.jpg" /><br />
The watch was well packaged and held in place utilizing perfect professional presentation, it also came with a handy card with tips on how to care for your new watch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Galactic Watch Fabric" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/buckle-and-cog-3.jpg" /><br />
I love that each watch in the galactic family would look slightly different due to the pattern of the fabric. I picked this one mainly because it reminded me of the texture of watercolour paintings, and so it feels very ‘arty!’ Isn’t it absolutely gorgeous?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Watch on Wrist" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/buckle-and-cog-4.jpg" /><br />
<div>
It's definitely a statement piece, the watch face is a little bigger than what I’m used to but I think big watch faces are ‘in’ right now.</div>
<div>
I have had it for a couple of months and due to the fabric strap it’s extremely comfortable to wear everyday.<br />
<br />
-----------</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I’m exceptionally happy with the watch I received from Buckle and Cog, it arrived very quickly, looks cute and I now have a stylish staple for my otherwise very unstylish wardrobe! I can’t wait to purchase some extra straps in the future to update my look.</div>

I've been away for a long time, just over a year. I've missed writing here.<br />
<br />
I like to tell myself that it's because things got in the way, I got so busy that I couldn't do it, but I don't think that's actually fully true, maybe partly, but I also got.. Distracted? And maybe a little lazy..<br />
<br />
I do have a lot on my plate sometimes, even if it doesn't look like it to an outside perspective, I put some pressure on myself to do lots different things and for everything to be perfect. If it doesn't turn out the way I want I can get admittedly disheartened. I think if you're a creative it can ebb between this and feeling super motivated to improve.<br />
<br />
I did enjoy writing here, I enjoy looking back and seeing the progress I've made in my craft and reading thoughts I'd had that now seem completely silly. It's an amazing way to see how much you change and grow as a person.<br />
<br />
So, I'd like to come back to blogging again! Lately I've been working more than ever, which seems to have had the strange effect of making me want to work more and put more on my plate, what a silly sausage I am.<br />
<br />
I'd love to catch you up on some of the things I've been upto.<br />
<br />
-First of all, I moved out with my partner! Exciting stuff, it means I've got my own crafty room now, and suddenly lots more space to spread out to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/love-patchwork-quilting-feature.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/love-patchwork-quilting-feature.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-I designed and made a bear sleep mask to add to my range, and my grey bear sleep mask was featured in Love, Patchwork & Quilting magazine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/felt-teacup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/felt-teacup.jpg" /></a><br />
-I started taking slightly better pictures for my Etsy store.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/hannahdoodle-sleep-masks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/hannahdoodle-sleep-masks.jpg" /></a></div>
-I tweaked my fox mask design, and added many new colours to the range.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/hannahdoodle-ice-cream-cushions.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/hannahdoodle-ice-cream-cushions.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-I redesigned my ice cream cushions, which look loads better!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/hannah-boulter-painting-owl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/blog/hannah-boulter-painting-owl.jpg" /></a></div>
-I recently started painting again, still a big fan of owls!<br />
<br />
Some other bits and pieces:<br />
-I gave pilates a go, which was fun, really must get back into that..<br />
-My hair grew back, lots.<br />
-I had my first craft fair last Christmas, which was a mixed bag. I was very poorly and unfortunately could barely talk to any customers, but it was still a cool experience.<br />
-I started an <a href="https://instagram.com/hannahdoodlecrafts/" target="_blank">instagram page</a>, not sure why I didn't do this earlier but I love it so far, a nice way to connect with other creatives.<br />
<br />
So.. That's a little bit of what I've been up to the past year, looking forward to writing here again soon!<br />
P.S. The Great British Bake Off starts again tonight and I'm way too excited. <span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: start;">❤</span><br />

Hello everyone! I've been trying to keep busy lately and add at least a few new items to the store every week, for some reason it's a lot harder than it sounds! There are so many distractions that come from working at home, someone always needs you for something or you can be easily distracted..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After ordering a few more colours of fleece, I went ahead and made a batch of different owl/fox sleep masks to add to the store. I wear an orange fox one most nights and it seems to help me sleep better since my curtains are practically transparent, the street and car lights from outside glare through and often make it hard for me to switch off.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I usually get my sister to model the masks for me since I'm not too keen on seeing my own face anywhere, but she was out and I really wanted to get them put on the store with someone wearing them. I think they turned out okay! I always feel like with items such as hats, masks, scarves, and general clothing it's nice to see what they look like on a person rather than being flat. I may retake them with someone else in the future but for now they will be fine in the store.</div>

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, Happy Friday!</div>

I've been having fun drawing pets recently! Here's a digital drawing I did of my Collie Zoey and one of a gorgeous doggie called Khaleesi who's owner posted on the <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/redditgetsdrawn/" target="_blank">Reddit Gets Drawn</a> subreddit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/zoe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/zoe.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/khaleesi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://hannahboulter.co.uk/khaleesi.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really enjoy digital art. I used to spend hours drawing on my computer and remember saving up for a Wacom tablet in my first year of University then falling in love with it. I miss it, I think it's taken a slight backseat to my sewing. It feels like my sewing has improved massively over the past few years, but with my digital drawing, it kind of seems a bit stagnant.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's a problem I have a lot, instead of focusing on one thing and getting really excellent at it, I'm kind of average/good at most things I try, I just don't want to settle for one thing when there are so many cool medias out there to try! Do all creative people have this problem?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you are all having a wonderful day!</div>

Yesterday I was very excited when I saw a packet arrive from the US! I hadn't ordered anything so I knew it must have been for the<a href="http://katiecrafts.com/first-handmade-swap/" target="_blank"> handmade swap</a> I took part in recently.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My packet was from a lovely lady called Natasha, thank you Natasha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TCs8Qn4BRsc/U2pX0XSYtYI/AAAAAAAAA_E/1lFE-UERrS0/s1600/swap1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TCs8Qn4BRsc/U2pX0XSYtYI/AAAAAAAAA_E/1lFE-UERrS0/s1600/swap1.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dlFLAGoVtk8/U2pX58mJiUI/AAAAAAAAA_0/m6PVmKV-N7c/s1600/swap7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dlFLAGoVtk8/U2pX58mJiUI/AAAAAAAAA_0/m6PVmKV-N7c/s1600/swap7.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I opened the packet I was struck with this image of a very cute kitty, as well as an enlightening quote from Eleanor Roosevelt. It now lives on my wall, making me 'aww' occasionally and reminding me to be strong as well. :) On the back was a nice note from Natasha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yrfZcNwbX58/U2pX0tB4sEI/AAAAAAAAA_M/6N1s7uajIJQ/s1600/swap2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yrfZcNwbX58/U2pX0tB4sEI/AAAAAAAAA_M/6N1s7uajIJQ/s1600/swap2.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;">Also inside was a few handmade items wrapped up in this gorgeous hot air balloon tissue paper, isn't it so cute? I love the hessian bow too! I was very careful not to tear the paper, I want to recycle it into something pretty for my room.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Co8Hxf1JHHQ/U2pX0pmMRvI/AAAAAAAAA_I/6ZrTOd6cL3I/s1600/swap3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Co8Hxf1JHHQ/U2pX0pmMRvI/AAAAAAAAA_I/6ZrTOd6cL3I/s1600/swap3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the packet was a pair of earrings, a gorgeous adjustable ring and a comic book style bow. Natasha purchased her handmade items from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/katiecrafts" target="_blank">Katie's shop</a>, aren't they beautiful? The flowers fit right in with the swap theme of Spring too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kb9Fe-VfH1Y/U2pX3FbYJOI/AAAAAAAAA_c/YsHT0LMYifM/s1600/swap4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kb9Fe-VfH1Y/U2pX3FbYJOI/AAAAAAAAA_c/YsHT0LMYifM/s1600/swap4.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the bow, it's making me really excited to have long hair again! I'll be able to pin half of my hair back soon and it will be perfect to wear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Green is one of my favourite colours so I was very happy to receive these green floral pieces. I like that the ring was easily adjustable and it's such a perfect way to celebrate the upcoming warmer weather.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you very much Natasha! I am so happy with everything.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And thank you Katie for organising the swap. :)</div>

I found this funny picture of my hamster Liam Neeson, I still can't believe he's over a year old now, doesn't he look so shocked in this photograph? He likes crawling around in my jumpers and eating lots of lettuce!</div>

I've been working on my new card designs today, and ended up putting a few onto the store. It feels lately though that there's never enough time in the day to get everything done! Does anyone else ever feel like that? I spent a lot of yesterday Spring Cleaning my room so that took up a lot of my day, I'm so glad it's done now though, everything somehow feels better when you've got a tidy and organised room.</div>

This morning we got up early to trek to the local car boot. There's one every Sunday in Rhyl in the warmer months of the year and I will occasionally pick up small bits and pieces. My mum attends most Sundays so it's nice to tag along and have a nosy, it's surprising how many duplicate items you can find from your childhood!</div>

For some reason I've been eyeing up Yo-Yos recently, I've been seeing them everywhere and picked up this one still in it's packaging for 50p! I remember having one as a kid and being absolutely rubbish with it, I'll learn to walk the dog with it eventually.</div>

I also purchased these lovely clip-on earrings for £1. There always seems to be plenty of clip-on earrings at car boot sales which is perfect for someone who can't pierce their ears. I thought the coral/pink colour of the rose was lovely and the soft green of the leaves had me sold.</div>

Do you like to visit your local car boot to search for bargains?</div>
