Friday Feeling #2

That's true, Friday is here once again and this week feels as though it has gone so so fast. This week I have Friday off work (I did work last night though!!) so I am going to have a day where I clean and tidy the flat in order for my lovely friends Heather and Josh to come around for a Wii Night. Heather is bringing the treats, which I am rather excited about... I don't even know what the treats are!!

 So I think the evening is going to be filled with Mario Kart Wii tournaments and various games from Wii Sports... I can't really remember what games I have but I definitely have a few more and these two will definitely be entertaining!!

I will also be going to work in York, which means a train and bus journey for me on both Saturday and Sunday, but I like train journeys!! I have plenty of books out from the library and I can read these and listen to some lovely music while travelling. I'm really enjoying work, who knew working in a clothing store could be so much fun. I also get to be a perfectionist without looking silly!

  I also so badly want to do some sewing. I have some alterations to take care of for my friends but I am part way through making a bag, and I want a big sort out of all my fabrics at some point!! I plan to turn some of my storage shelves into my own little sewing storage where I can keep everything I own sewing-related organised and tidy! This might have to wait until I rearrange the flat though!!

This is my sewing desk, which will only get better as the year goes on!!

 So that is my weekend, as planned this Friday morning.

What have you got planned for the weekend?

Friday Feeling #1

Don't you just love the above image? What a perfect little picnic that must be! In a way it makes me think of Fridays, the day of the week that everyone looks forward to, the beginning of the weekend. "Thank God It's Friday!!" I hear you all exclaim, "Living for the Weekend" sang Hard-Fi and " Get that Friday feeling" with Crunchie... clearly, Friday is the best day of the week.

So, I thought I would make sharing my Friday feeling (on a Friday) a regular thing! I might have to start writing it in a morning, maybe about what my weekend is going to involve (as you can tell I've not thought it all through properly yet) but seeing as I had this idea tonight, I wanted to start it now.

I've had a good Friday, I worked for four hours at Gap Outlet in York (it was only my second shift but I love working there already!). I then spent my afternoon catching up with my lovely friends Heather and Josh, baking muffins (pics to follow soon however they don't look very muffin like...) and planning what we can do to help us relax around doing uni work that is likely to drive us insane over the next year. It was great and we had a good giggle, just what I needed! Normally I'd spend Friday nights sat at home watching telly, so I will be catching up on what I missed tomorrow morning on BBC iPlayer, probably after a little lie in.

I plan to spend my weekend reading books, drinking a lot of tea and doing some work towards university, which I am really getting into lately. (I do have to go to work on Sunday but I can still do these things around this!).

I am planning to start filling scrapbooks too, one for my blog and little ideas to make it more "me", and one for me to stick things in and keep little things that I like and find inspiring. I have always been meaning to do this, but I never got round to it. I would just love to keep scrapbooks and journals that I can always rely on to inspire me, and now is the time I am going to get this into my habit. I guess it could be a New Uni Year Resolution!

One last thing for my weekend, and probably next week and the following weekend and a few more weeks and weekends after that... I want some inspiration for my flat as I am now living alone. It isn't a bad thing, I quite like it, but I want it to be homey and cosy and a lot more girlie! I think the below photo is a good start to the kind of flat I want.

Any ideas or inspiration would be great!! I plan to make my own cushion covers and have throws and blankets at hand, but I dunno what more I can do with it! Obviously my flat doesn't have that amazing window but it is pretty impressive, and once I have finished tidying and getting things in new rightful places I will take some photos for you all to see!
