May Favourites - 2020

Due to a certain crisis, I haven't really been able to leave the house much, so this months favourites is not the most exciting.

Fairest of them All Mouse Ears

My absolute favourite design that I have added to my Etsy Shop so far! I cannot believe how amazing these ears look in comparison to the first pair that I made. I am very proud of these ears, they are inspired by one of my favourite Disney Princesses, Snow White. 

If you are interested, you can check out my Etsy Shop here.

Doughnut Mouse Ears

I also made these mouse ears in the month of May. They are another pair of ears that I am very proud of! I was inspired by the all the amazing food that you are able to get at Disney. I was hoping to find a Disney food printed fabric, but I was unable to find a print that was sold in the UK, and I think especially at the moment it is important to support small local businesses to ensure they will survive the current crisis (and also, postage is expensive!). These ears look fantastic, and they are definitley among my favourite designs.

I also made it so that these ears are available with any colour bow and trimming! Here is a light pink version of the ears that I made for another customer! 

Stitch Photo

I took this photo of Stitch to help promote my business on social media, and I just think that it is the most adorable thing! Stitch is definitley one of the cutest Disney Characters!

Cinderella Ears

One of my customers ordered some custom ears, and I was so happy with how they looked I decided to add them to my shop for other people to purchase. I absolutely love how these turned out, the fabric print is so beautiful! I seem to be building up a Princess Collection!

Logo 

Since lockdown has started, I decided that I was going to start taking my Etsy shop a little bit more seriously and revamp my shop and social media accounts. I started adding nicer backgrounds to my photos when taking pictures of my ears and edited my social media accounts, but I felt like my logo just didn't look right and needed a makeover. I then messaged an artist (@Orange.Glazed.Cupcake on Instagram - give them a follow!) about possibly doing a commission drawing for me and the result is absolutely fantastic!

I was sent a line drawing, a coloured version and the final version. Here are the different designs.

First Colouring 

Final Drawing

They all look so beautiful! I thought that the first version of the drawing was it finished and I wasn't expecting anything else, but the final version is just so fantastic. I feel like this new logo has completely transformed how my accounts look and I am very proud of how far my shop has come!

Baking - Cookies and bread

Baking has been a thing everyone has been doing during lockdown, and I decided to join the party. I had never made bread or cookies before and I decided that I wanted to make an attempt this month. Two of the most random choices - yes - but don't judge me okay!

I made a plated loaf of bread and it looks absolutely amazing! I thought that I went really wrong when I first started making it but it really turned out great!

I had a few attempts at making cookies this month, the first few were more like mini cakes, but hey they still tasted nice! My final attempt was quite possibly the best batch of cookies I have ever made! They were double chocolate chip and were a different recipe to the first batch that I made, and I will definitely be making some more. But as of now...well I have used all of our baking supplies now...

New Stationary

I finished my second year at university, so what did I do? Buy more stationary so I can get a head start on my third year of course!
I ordered some pens and a fancy new notebook to get a head start on my dissertation. The book isn't too fancy, but it does have dividers in it and I really struggled to find a notebook like this so it made me happy enough!
If you know me, I always love getting new stationary!

The Sims 4 Realm of Magic

I haven't really been able to live my life while we have been in lockdown, so I have been living vicariously through my Sims. I decided I really wanted to add some witches and wizards to my game, so I caved and bought the Realm of Magic Game Pack. I have really enjoyed having this in my game, I absolutely love the new world and I really like how the magic system works.

Disney Calendar

I have had this Disney Calendar since the start of the year, but I really wanted to point out how nice the painting was for the month of May. I love Tangled, and I wasn't expecting to see the appearance of one of the newer Disney Movies in here, I thought it would only be the classic Disney Movies, so it was a nice little surprise!


And that is it for my favourites for the month of May! I hope you have all been staying safe whilst being in lockdown, wherever you may be! What have you been getting up to during lockdown? And what are your favourites for the month of may? Let me know!
