Make a list of 11 questions for them to answer.

1. What are you most proud of?

I am probably most proud of the fact that I've managed to come back to university this year after having to take time off due to illness on 2014. I was diagnosed with M.E/CFS a few years ago(see Katharine's post about being at university with M.E here for a great explanation of how it feels & more details about the illness.) and it all caught up with me and I wasn't able to do the long hours and massive workload of an art course on top of being unwell. Luckily, although it has by no means gone away, I am now so close to finally finishing my Design Crafts degree, fingers crossed I will get there after a few more months of hard work!

2. What is your favorite blog? 

At the moment I'm really enjoying posts from Apartment Apothecary & Claireabellemakes, especially the DIY pieces!

3. Who is your biggest fashion inspiration?

I don't have one particular inspiration, I take inspiration from lots of different places, Instagram, magazines, charity shops & friends.

4. What is your favorite drink?

I've been drinking so much tea at the moment in the studio and a lot of coffee to keep me awake!

5. What if your favorite outfit?

Definitely my mom jeans at the moment (a bit like these ones below from Amy) with a T-shirt or blouse, glittery socks and lots of jewellery. 

6. What is your favorite magazine?

I've recently discovered 'Oh Comely' I love the layout, drawings & photos and its been great for sketchbook inspiration & scrapbooking. 

7. Makeup or clothes?

Clothes. (and jewellery!) 

8. What is your favorite film?

I don't really have a favourite film (I usually fall asleep before I get to the end anyway!) but I love anything about crime or serial killers - I was going to do criminology at uni before I chose Design Crafts.

9. Do you have any pets?

We have two really cute but slightly stupid dogs, Zack & Olly. 

Olly - Likes jumping on your lap when you least expect it, eats anything & loves swimming.

Zack - Steals all of Olly's toys, is scared of loud noises
& is obsessed with mealtimes. 

10. What is your favorite colour?

Mint green, or anything neon!
