Sunday Best

A wee tune to listen to while you read this post – recently Grant and me featured in our friend Iain’s music video for his new band We Were Hunted. I’m not being biased because he’s my pal but I really love the songs they’ve brought out so far. Something feel good for a sunday 🙂

I was a bit late to jump on the Christmas jumper bandwagon, couldn’t see one anywhere that I really liked so when I took part in the Missguided crafty Christmas Jumper competition it was time to get my creative brain on.

Grumpy cat! I used this internet meme as my inspiration (even though I’m not really Bah Humbug, I do love Christmas) I’ve not had much tv work recently so it was nice to sit down and do a little crafty  project for myself. You can vote for your favourite over on the facebook page, I’m a thousand or so votes behind the other bloggers but not fussed, it was such good fun to take part in! Once I had sorted out my Christmas Jumper I couldn’t leave poor Dexter out…

Bought him a little santa suit from Pets at Home – and he is SO angry with me in these pictures. Proper grumpy cat haha. He kept on turning away and not looking at me, I’m such a mean kitty owner. I think he looks super cute but I won’t pester him with this outfit again until Christmas Day. Sorry Dexter!

Having no freelance work at the moment has meant lots of quality time catching up with friends and family. Me and Greig went to our favourite tea joint in Glasgow last week, Tchai-Ovna. It’s well worth a visit if you’re in the west end. I went for the Mulled Wine tea and tried the Mary Poppins tea for the first time too (honey and raspberry, yum) First time I’ve ever drank tea without having to add milk or sugar, which sorta felt like an accomplishment for me.

I hadn’t been down to Gourock for ages to stay with John because he has been away on various tour with work, so took a trip down to visit him last weekend and we watched the Royal Variety Show, ate pizza and talked absolute rubbish. My favourite cup to drink out of lives at his house. Jammy Dodger appreciation society right here.

I did a little shoot with my friend Ashley on friday morning which was great fun, I’m always in awe of how talented she is. I wore my R2D2 dress which is a bit of a Black Milk spin off, but is actually a much cheaper version from RoseGal for those asking on instagram. I’ve only got leggings from Black Milk, none of their dresses, but the quality of this one is pretty good! As I said I don’t have a dress to compare it to but can’t really complain for a third of the price.

John treated me to some early christmas presents to cheer me up last week. I got shellac nails done with a bit of christmas sparkle, and this necklace above from Bonnie Bling. Quite possibly my favourite scottish saying ever!

The Bonnie Bling necklace was on sale at the Abandon Ship Apparel pop up shop I went to on friday night. They’ve got a store in Princess Square until the end of January, and on friday night were offering 20% off if you wore a christmas jumper! Afterwards we went to my friend Kyles office in Central Chambers for pizza and wine, and I came home feeling pretty tipsy. Those wines in a cup and cans of Cosmo you get from M&S are dangerous business. I’m used to being alone in the flat some nights but Dexter was being a bit of a creep and sat like this on my bedside table for over a minute! I have no idea what he was staring at in his meercat like pose… But I really don’t want to know haha. Demon cat!
