Yay, I posted on time this week! It's actually a miracle, what with all the revision I have to do at the minute.
But today's song is Girls/Girls/Boys by Panic! At The Disco :) I love this so much!

Think Happy...2/52...
I'm so sorry that this is late, I've being getting so much revision from school that I have to do for my GCSEs :( But I do have a spare couple of minutes this afternoon, so I'll write to you all now.
Last week wasn't really the most memorable week for me, what with all the schoolwork I've been doing, but my dancing was great, as usual :)
So my happy things this week are:
1. I managed to do a scorpion leap in street dance :D Well, it was a very good attempt, anyway.
2. In contemporary we added more onto our dance, to this song :)
3. I've been planning for my friend's birthday on the 23rd :)
That's all for now, see you soon :)

Spring Wreath...
Last weekend I finished off a long-time WIP (work-in-progress) and it's really making me wish for spring to hurry up!
I don't have a picture of the finished thing yet, but I do have pictures of the assembly.
I then cut a ring the same size as the crochet ones out of a shoebox, and sewed the pieces together around it.
I don't have a picture of the finished thing yet, but I do have pictures of the assembly.
First I crocheted a ring using this lovely pattern, and then sewed on roses and leaves I made from this pattern.
Next was the back piece. I used the same pattern I used for the front.

Thanks so much for visiting, I'll share a picture of the finished wreath soon :)

Tunesday...
Well I guess I don't know the days of the week, since I didn't post 'Tunesday' on Tuesday...so I guess I'll do it now.
The song I've chosen for this week is Closer To The Edge by 30 Seconds To Mars. I love this song so much because it's so inspirational to me and it's just amazing. So, enjoy!

Think Happy...1/52...
Hello! It's Sunday today so I'm guessing I can start my 'Think Happy' plan. I got the idea from another blog, Tales from a happy house, and it's just coincidental that Gillian is finishing hers today and I'm starting mine!
But before I start my happy thoughts, I'd like to show you a little something I made today whilst revising.
It's a micro heart! I made it with pink sewing thread and a 0.6mm crochet hook from this pattern. It measures 11mm across at the widest point!
I've been wanting to try my hand at micro-crochet for a long time, but I've only just had the time to have a go. It was tricky at first but I got the hang of it pretty quickly, meaning I can't wait to make something else!
I posted it here on Ravelry too :)
So now for the good things in my life:
1. My friend has recovered just enough to teach his contemporary class once more, after having to cancel two of the classes. I love this class so much!
2. It was my bestfriend's (Hannah's) birthday yesterday! Happy 15th birthday Hannah :3
3. Corned beef sandwiches :D You've got to love them.
4. I made my first micro-crochet amigurumi and it turned out very well, in my opinion.
5. My mum made some chocolate flapjack with chocolate chips in twice this week, and some melting moments. The flapjack is my favourite, I might post the recipe next week.
So that's all for today, I must get back to my revision and GCSE coursework. Oh, the joys ;)
Love, Carys ♥

A Fresh Start...
Recently, I've been having more and more ideas for this blog. I first started it on July 23rd 2012 and I solely intended to post patterns and the occasional update whenever I disappeared.
It's been a long time since I've posted anything other than patterns, due to my GCSEs and my dance, and there's nothing I can do about that.
But I do have a couple of ideas to get the ball rolling once more, or to even start it rolling in the first place.
On Tuesdays I will be posting a link to a song and writing about the reasons I chose it. Maybe this way you will be able to listen to something new.
On Sundays I will be writing about what good things are happening in my life. I'm going to try to write at least five each time, as a way to focus on the good and not the bad.
Lastly, for the minute anyway, on the last day of each month I will be summing up my whole month, both in writing and in pictures.
My head is currently a mixture of knitting and crochet, dancing, and photography. So my posts will mainly follow along those lines, but may stray occasionally.
For example now. I know someone in the X FACTOR!!!
The time I remember most vividly is when the theme for our annual show was 'Around the World in 90 minutes'. He was dancing in a dance called Africa, and he was one of only two guys in the dance, since there were loads more girls. He and Rob (the other guy) were constantly walking around backstage with just a pair of shorts on with grass skirts (or something similar) on top. No shirts.
So to all the girls screaming and going crazy about Kingsland Road on the X Factor? All I can say is that I've hi-fived him, talked to him and seen him shirtless.
That makes me feel pretty happy, actually :)

Joe "Connor" Conaboy (second from right) has made it through to the live shows on the X Factor with his group 'Kingsland Road'. I doubt he remembers me, but we used to dance at the same dance school, Impact Dance with Hayley.The time I remember most vividly is when the theme for our annual show was 'Around the World in 90 minutes'.

Finally - pictures....
Hello my lovely people! I have finally been able to upload some pictures, and I won't keep you waiting any longer. The weather has been kinder to us here, after all of the snow we had over Easter, and though it's still cold, the sun is out!
I am second from the left in this photo :) It was taken at the most recent dance show our dance school performed, and my friend Hannah is on the far left.
Thanks for reading,
Carys ♥
The trees have yet to grow leaves, and the weather-people on TV have forecast showers and that it will get warmer so that's all good!
My photography has (I hope) been improving too! Here is my 365 Project, where you take a photo everyday and post it. I would really recommend it to any photographers out there.

Apologies...
Hi all, Blogger won't let me upload photos at the minute so the post I was going to upload today will have to wait a while.
Sorry about that,
Carys ♥
