The lovely folk over at Miss Patina, a gorgeous vintage inspired fashion label, are hosting a wonderful competition called the artist within. All you have to do is sketch your favourite Miss Patina item (anyway you want) and upload them to Instagram, using the hashtag #theartistwithin and mentioning @misspatina in your description. You have until June 2nd to enter, and you could win the absolutely stunning Miss Honey dress. This is my entry, featuring the gorgeous Polka Flirt Pearl top, and the dreamily coloured She Bop skirt. I created mine using fineliner and watercolours, and it was lovely to spend my Sunday getting arty :) if you decide to enter, let me know, and good luck!
You can find my entry here, here, here and here on my Instagram :)

Almond in the car on our journey to my mum's house (shortly after this I thought he'd like to sit on the dashboard, we went round a roundabout and Almond slid off and into the door compartment, much to mine and Mark's amusement - bad parents?!), 5. Me in the car on route to my mum's house, 6. My little brother's gorgeous Labrador puppy, Prim, 7. Indigo taking Almond to playgroup, 8. Delicious spaghetti bolognese mumma bear made for us, 9. Indigo made Almond a 'cage' out of a tomato punnet and some gems, 10. Chanel perfume, 11 & 12. At the hospital today, having a second round of VEMPs testing (sticky pads on my face & neck, leaving sore red patches and yucky glue!).
Firstly, a big hello! to my new followers and comment-leavers, it's so much appreciated and I will come visit your blogs in the coming days :) and of course thank you to you lovely regular readers!
It's been a busy few days with more hospital appointments, which hasn't resulted in much of anything as yet. I have been given a physio exercise by a specialist physiotherapist, which is basically an X printed in the middle of an A4 piece of paper. I have to keep my eyes on the cross and move my head slightly to each side. This is so easy for anyone who doesn't have balance problems, but I'm pretty slow and I'm only allowed to do 10 seconds for a while, so as it doesn't make me dizzy/ill! I also had more VEMPs testing, which is interesting with the sticky pads (I wish I'd been prepared though, neither times had they warned me so there was me with my make-up on only for it to be wiped off with a gross solution and replaced with glue!!). Hopefully this time I will get the results :)
I hope everyone's week got off to a good start! If anyone has Instagram, pop over and say hello here.
