Hooray for the Easter holidays!

I love watching my girls grow up, this is happening really fast, Alice (6), my red head, came along after 8 years of patiently waiting. My little miracle baby! Evie (3) is equally as precious of course she is my cuddle bum. 

This week being the 1st week of the Easter holidays and weather not being kind to us we decided to go and see the new Cinderella movie at the cinema, everyone loves a fairytale. Could this be the new Frozen though?

Both girls left the cinema needing a beautiful blue gown like 'Ella', the glass slippers were to die for.

With all the excitement this kept them dreaming for hours, leaving mummy to concentrate on university work.

My module this semester is to build a brand identity for me, this is perfect, I have been trying to design a logo since I started my blog. When designing for yourself its really difficult, I think I have been up to my neck in screwed up paper. I have come up with 2 ideas to develop, I would really appreciate some feedback.  

I am really enjoying being creative and getting lots of opportunities to design logos for friends, I hope this leads to more. I am very lucky to be studying a subject that I love, another positive when I am designing I am not snacking in boredom!

Whats new?

Hello....

So this week its been back in full swing with uni and I am enjoying every minute of it, we are primarily focusing on brands and identity, which is really good as I have been helping a friend with her logo for her already successful massage business.

 Heres her facebook page please visit!

When starting on a logo the client can have some very firm ideas but how they can change throughout the design process. Sarah thought she wanted to use hands to represent her work but the outcome was completely different and she can now visualise this on t-shirts or car stickers.

Having my little design projects to keep me busy has helped keep my mind off health issues, I nearly didn't write a post this week as I didn't want to seem negative, but one of my blogger friends said 'write what you feel'. 

Sorry negative ish bit....
I am getting frustrated, I would really like to know whats going on with my health so I can move on and enjoy my family. I am still awaiting tests as to whats happening with my heart and until then  I can't look into exercise (my doctor would have a fit, she prescribed cotton wool blanket at all times), nutrition, I am eating sensibly but when you find it difficult to keep your eyes open past 4 in the afternoon its difficult thinking about healthy food, it would be nice to have a health fairy! I just have to muddle through and think positive. 

Back to  positive....
This week I am meeting with  a wonderful Yoga teacher to hopefully create a plan of action! CT scan on Friday so not too much longer to wait!

Next week is world book day, so we are transforming my 6 year old into Alice in Wonderland and have to find a poem. Are you doing anything for world book day? I am lucky as my daughter loves to read and we love to hear her so this will be great fun!

So not too negative I hope! back to super positive Charlotte next week!

Promise!! now off to find the white rabbit...

Creativeness!

So trying to keep myself busy this week I thought I would lean on my creative flair! I promised for Christmas that I would only be giving away home made presents but that went out of the window when life took over!

My first project was for my friend who had her baby... um... about 6 months ago, she is very musical so I wanted to combine something with family.

I think its fun!

My results are in for my final Graphic design modules..... I passed yippee!

Back to getting fit and well! I have been using my Fitbit and I have managed to get from 3K steps a day (at work) to 7K, still pushing for the 10k!
