Super Happy Mondays 5

Hey all, has anyone else out there started uni this week? I started my second year last Monday and I've got to say folks, it's really hard. Last year was sort of fine, I mean sure there were a few teething problems but all in all I pretty much just hit the ground running. This year feels a little different. There's something about living in your own house, paying your own bills, doing your own shopping which is just totally feeling like I've  moved out of home. I missed my home and my pets, long distance came crashing back with deafening reality and the business suddenly felt like a lot harder work than it ever had before. It was hard guys. I mean really hard. The second half of the week was a little bit better; I shut the shop for a little rest, I got my laptop back and I sorted everything out. I took a deep breath and carried on and day by day everything is feeling a little bit more like home. This weekend my brother visited as well which was so great. It was so lovely to see him and get to show him everything. I have a feeling this week will be a little better. So what about you guys; is anyone else back and uni, how're you all coping?
 I cannot explain how much I love this little bags. I can't decide whether I love the fox, the raccoon or the beaver best.
How wonderful is this manicure? I adore people who dress like a cartoon and I love how this provides a real subtle way to do this.
I want a llama pin cushion. Full stop. Check out the tutorial by SmallGoodThings.
I adore these buttons. They are handmade by the wonderful Digits Designs. Her etsy site is well worth checking out; all her buttons are handmade and absolutely beautiful.

  1. When I was in school I always had a tough time getting back into the swing of things each new year. I hope your week is amazing this week!

  2. Getting back into the swing of things is really hard, especially if you're away and missing people. I hope this week is better
    That llama is fantastic!

  3. Ah I've just taken a semester off uni to change courses and get myself back on track! Yesterday I was finishing off my application, where I had to write a statement of intention for my application and I found it incredibly hard to get back into the rhythm of writing. I find the start of the school year to be increasingly exhausting.

  4. Oh. My. God. I need that fox bag.
    And I've seen that manicure making the internet rounds! I'm not sure how I feel about the hot pink though. I kinda want to try it in other colors!
