Changes
Well, where to begin?! Things have been chocker around here and sadly not on the Little Beauties front. As you all know I’m busy finishing the last few months of my degree and am snowed under with work at the moment, hence Little Beauties has been put on the back burner. However, the final 4 [...]

Update from the World of Hats
I realise it has been a while since I last shared any photos of what we have been up to in the world of hats, apart from our Ascot triumph, so here is a little sneaky peek at what we have been getting up to…(apologies in advance for the quality of some of the photos- [...]
What makes a good event?
What makes a good event? I seem to have been to plenty of them recently (events that is) and it got me thinking, what exactly makes a good one good? Firstly, I think great planning and courtesy towards the stall holders by the organiser is essential. Great communication and quick replies are a must. A [...]
Ascot
Now as you Little Beauties may or may not know I am currently undertaking a placement, as part of my Textile Crafts Degree, at H’atelier millinery in Manchester- yep that’s where all the pictures of the gorgeous hats on the blog come from! And…yesterday we were famed as the favourite hat of Ascot by weheartstyle.com! [...]
Waiting for the Weekend…
Apologies once again for the lack of blogging! For the past week or so Little Beauties technical director has been living in (which mostly means my better half using the spare bed taking up any spare floor space) and once again as a result you Little Beauties have been neglected. It’s been a fair bit [...]

Two For Tuesday

From Zero to Hero with a Splash of PVA

Bank Holiday Flop
WOW! What an eventful Bank Holiday weekend…NOT! While all you lucky, lucky people with social lives have been out partying and frolicking in the rain I have been discovering (since Thursday) the renewed joys of Mario Party (version 1) on my Nintendo 64 whilst feeling extremely sorry for myself, dosed up on antibiotics and getting a red [...]

Mood Board Monday
Well, I’d love to be able to say that the reason I’ve been such a bad girl and not blogged just recently was because I’ve been so gosh darn busy, but…well, hand slap for me- I’ve just been plain old lazy! Sorry! I do most definitely and profusely apologise, because- apparently- there are actually quite a [...]

Truly I declare there is nothing like a new pair of socks!
I have a bit of a thing about socks, you may or may not know. I got 366 pairs (leap year) for Christmas and I wear a new one everyday. Next year I will be wearing a years worth of once washed, once worn socks. Truly I do declare that there is nothing like the feeling [...]

Bias Tape Maker How To!
You may or may not remember that I ordered two Bias Binding Tape makers a couple of weeks ago. They have since arrived to much excitement and after being opened and awed over I have not yet used them…until NOW! I managed to find a morsel of time over the bank holiday weekend (thank god [...]

Ten Minute Tidy…
It must be because it’s spring, but just lately I’ve been feeling like everything is in need of a good tidy up and a clear out. I think I’ve got the spring cleaning bug! So, the other day I decided to give my desk a good old tidy. I didn’t have much time so I [...]

Nails
This is a little bit of a random post for me and one that will probably become more regular as time goes by. A few weeks ago I decided to get my nails done again (tips and acrylic), I used to bite along time ago and have since grown my nails rather successfully- however through [...]

Lace- defined in the dictionary as a textile patterned with holes which are created by the manipulation of thread. The ‘Lost in Lace’ exhibition at Birmingham City Museum and Art Gallery looks at ideas surrounding the making of lace with the holes, twists, spaces, boundaries and structures. I went to view the exhibition last Friday [...]
