HOLIDAYS!
I've broken up from Uni for Easter, and I am SO ready for a holiday. For the next two weeks, plans mainly include: sleeping, sleeping, spa day, sleeping. (Oh, and catching up on reading.) Can't wait!
Emma Bridgewater Mug
I picked this pretty star mug up last week on my trip to the Emma Bridgewater decorating studio in Stoke-on-Trent. As pretty as it is, I'm determined not to use it for decorative purposes only, so I've been drinking my bodyweight in coffee out of this mug over the past week! The mugs that Amy and I decorated for ourselves should arrive in the next few days too, and we're both excited to see how they've turned out. (Although I'm definitely not expecting them to look particularly professional - mine especially.)
Nothing says 'I'm a cool twenty-something' like indulging in middle-aged hobbies like pottery painting, but do y'know what? I don't really care. It was actually very fun!
My friend Amy and I booked this about a month ago, and when the day finally came, we ventured up to Stoke (after having a few teething issues, like the Sat Nav falling off the windscreen constantly and getting lost somewhere near Burton?) We were horrendously late but the lovely ladies there were really accommodating there and let us paint anyway.
Therapeutic? Or nonsense?
There's been a huge surge in the numbers of adults turning to colouring in as a form of relaxation, and recently, I've been one of them. Deemed by some as a childish pastime, it's actually strangely cathartic.
