(recycle old inkwells for flowers?! yerp! I'm cheap!)

- This had to be done, this song has been stuck in my head all week!

- It appears that everytime me and my friend get in the car it is playing, so this is a tribute to that! (someone please release another song so this one will go away!)

5 :1 Locking the Windows & Doors - Security Light ON [Some Scary Happenings in Hanna's World]

Helo bawb,

- So it's been a while, a little too long if you ask me!

- How's everyone doing? good?

- This past month has been absoluteley crazy, so much has been going on! (and if you've ever tried to install functioning internet into a house where the nearest power supply to your phone line is up two flights of stairs - you'll feel my pain, it involved lifting up a carpet and a ridiculously LONG phone line!)

- I've moved back abroad, away from the wonder that is England! (God bless)

- I just wanted to talk about something quite serious actually, currently in my city (TINY city, but still) we have an insanely low crime rate, everybody knows everybody else and in general I have always felt quite safe here, but just recently we have had a spate of kidnappings ( I KNOW - what. the. heck?!)

- It's the sort of thing you would just knock to the back of your mind and think would never happen to you. Until it happens to your next door neighbour, then two of your best friends nearly get pulled into a car on their way home, - a BIT of police presence would be nice!

- It's actually really quite scary, because until recently I would have been more than happy to walk through the city on my own at 2am (and have done) It's not a nice feeling to feel unsafe in your own home.

- my heart is with you all, stay safe.

"You're my full stop"

I know it's ridiculously early in the morning. I'm moving house today.

but.

I'm also getting engaged today.

I'm sorry Han, I didn't quite hear that, can you repeat it?

Oh yes, of course

My boyfriend just told me I was his 'full stop' and however scary it was he wanted to be with me forever.

He just proposed!!

I wanted to share, with my little blogging family. I'm genuinely over the moon. I love him so much.

I hate soppy posts about love lives, so this is a one off, but I'm getting engaged!


p.s. This weeks 'songs on sunday' was a good one. so I may post later in the week. . . 'melodies on monday' . . . 'tunes on tuesday' . . . teehee!

4 :6 Interior Decorating With Hanna! (Sensible, Obviously)

- So, as you may know (I've been banging on about it enough) I'm moving house! in two days!! . . . and when you are moving house, I know you start to think about the practical things like where are you going to put this bit of furniture etc etc. (I'm now panicing about this, I have no idea where to put anything, and, I've packed. nothing!)

- Not me, no not me, the first thing I think about when I'm moving house is that it MUST. HAVE. BUNTING!

- I know I know, not logical, nor is it very practical, nor is it very useful! but it's so pretty, and there is just something about bunting that makes me love it so much!!!

- So I went to the market and picked up this

1

- I know you can buy bunting - but let's just look at suspect numero uno. Urban Outfitters (totally not dissing, I love UO and as I'm sat here writing this I'm wearing one of their *more expensive* tops!) they currently have two lots of bunting for sale.

bunting uo2bunting uo

- The Rob Ryan Bunting which is 5 metres and costs £25 (who's Rob Ryan when it's at home!?) and the Scrumptious Bunting which is 3 metres and costs £10, and is made of 'shower proof paper' and ribbon.

- Now where else would you go to buy bunting?! I don't even know, I just think I can do better! (and now I know I can!)

-I also picked up as much tape as my £4 would let me (just short of 11 metres!)

process

- I know it looks a little complicated, but was really just one evening of sitting sewing whilst watching the television (bridezilla's - in case you were wondering!) all cut (three different fabrics 1 purple gingham 1 coloured polka dot and 1 floral - my mother thought I was going insane and that they needed to be colour coordinated, I informed her she was incorrect and that mis-matched was the way forward!) then sewed (we really didnt even need to pin them) then turned inside rightside out and onto the tape! (that was the bit that took the longest!)


6

- Bunting is awesome!

- This is obviously not in my new house yet - I just wanted to look at it because it was sooo pretty!!!

- And I have 11 metres of bunting, for about a tenner, beat that 'scrumptious' bunting and your 'shower proof paper'!!!

4 :5 Some MORE Blogs Everyone Should Love!! (The Versatile Blogger Award)

- Right beautiful's (can that be plural? who knows!) . . I have something to share with you. . . . something that for me was pretty exciting! This was my first ever blog award (yes yes, I know I posted the other first, it was easier! - and that's not that the other was not important to me. . oh god I talk myself in circles [and I may or may not have another aswell - which to tell you the truth made this one a little easier, that way I could give all the blogs I love a fair shout out. . but shh for now!]) and it was given to me by the amazing Amanda of Poppies and Icecream! - Who, if you don't already read, then you should!!

- I have to admit, I'm terrible at keeping on top of everyones posts, mainly because I love so many different blogs, so I read a great wad of them at once and catch up!

Anyway this Award is the Versatile Blogger Award,



- Now I'm supposed to tell you 7 things about myself and pass it along to 15 blogs I love (what's with the numbers here guys? why not nice neat numbers? I guess you could say that's one thing about me, I like things to be in equal groups! - but I'll give you that one free!)

-I decided I'd try and give you some information on myself that I wouldn't casually drop into one of my posts, something a bit extra, other than "my name is Hanna [Woeking - if you're being nosey or stalk-y] and I'm in my 20's"  you know the drill! So, here we go. . .

-(and it's going to be a lengthy one. . sorry. .  but you know you want to know these things about me! I never tell you anything personal!)  I could tell you that I have an obsession with ". . ." but you probably already grasped that one. . . and that I prefer "[ . . .]" over "(. . .)". . .but you know, how exciting is that!?

dressing up

1, I love to dress up!, my normal style is, well, I've described it before as a 'walking bazaar' and that's pretty accurate. . . sooo these two are NOT my usual style, my friends and I, if we were going (sadly way in the past now) out on a night out, we loved to get made up - and it's funny, but I always got chatted up more when I was dressed up!!! (we aren't taking the mick, we are actually genuinely trying something different, you wouldn't believe the research that went into these!)

parade

2. I love carnivals. I love how happy people are at carnivals. What more can I say on that?!

sky
3. I love the sky- I love looking at the sky, I love taking pictures of the sky,  I love the sky at night, I love the sky in the morning, I just love the sky.

I love how it is forever changing, yet is always there, it's a constant, it's not going to run off on you, I guess the sky is a bit like life, it's going to keep being there, but it's going to keep changing, nothing's going to be the same again.

synchro

4. I guess you could say I'm a waterbaby. I am a competetive synchronised swimmer (team in green - look at the babies next to us, . awww!) When you compete, they pull your hair back into a bun as tight as it will go and then because you can't compete wearing your swim cap they paint gelatine onto your bun - almost like a waterproof gel - it's horrid and you have to have a REALLY hot shower to melt it out! I competed nationally - not up to Olympics standard yet!

me water

- I'm obsessed with the sea. End.

waterways

-I love going kayaking. Trust me my skills are a little more advanced than the picture below, which was a genuine rowing accident - the picture was taken at JUST the right time, my oar got stuck on the side of the bridge as we went under and literally threw me from my seat. Hilarious and a brilliant picture I love (if only for the memories)!

boat



5. I love the first time it snows. The anticipation of some EPIC slope action ahead. . .

snow



6. I don't love sleep- I think it's a waste of life. I go to sleep late, and I get up early. . . If I'm having a lay in, it's probably because I'm not very well! But, sometimes, this catches up on me, and I end up crashing in perculiar places!

sleep


 7. My hair usually looks like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards! I describe it as the 'Europe' look! - I can tame it, I just choose not to, I have more important things to be doing than my hair, having said that, I do occasionally like to just sit and play with it. . and if Im leaving the house, it will look allright, as I'm writing this, it actually looks pretty presentable (I thought I was going out today-  turns out I'm not!).

I wish my hair was red again! This was the actual colour of my hair about a year ago, and this is my natural colour that I have spent a year, and hundreds of pounds (I haven't added it up, but it's probably getting to that figure) getting it back to. The red was just so much more exciting!!

NOW for the exciting bit! (now you've heard some completely daft facts about me!, I want to hear some daft facts about you lot!)

- And that's all folks!
- Muchos besos!

( I really hope you do go and check out, even a few of these blogs, I mean nothing is better than a saturday, or sunday just reading through some interesting posts, or looking at some pictures, and I love these blogs and they deserve some love. and I made it easy for you! - ok I could have made it easier by having the blog linked to the picture,  but I'm being lazy, so it's the list underneath!)
