Autumn Wishlist 2016

I LOVE Autumn! It’s my favourite time of the year. I love the leaves, the weather, hot drinks, knitted goods and Halloween. Last year I did a Winter Wishlist, it really put me in the mood for the season. So I just had to do an autumn one too!

1. Walk in some crunchy leaves. Is there anything better in autumn than some jumping in some beautiful coloured leaves?!

2. Take some pictures of these aformentioned pretty leaves.

3. Make some soup. Autumn is just perfect soup weather. I love French Onion Soup and Butternut Squash soup but I have a soup board on my Pinterest as I want to try some new ones.

4. Pick blackberries. I used to do this a lot with my grandmother and there’s always plenty of blackberries along the roads back home.

5. Make blackberry vodka. I’ve wanted to try this since seeing it on Rosalilium and really I don’t make as much vodka infusions as I’d like to!

6. Knit some pumpkins. I seem to have lost my knitting mojo these days so I’m hoping knitting some pumpkins be a fun way to bring it back!

7. Buy a scented candle. I don’t often buy or use scented candles but I want to buy a seasonal one, something warm and cosy! If you have any suggestions let me know below.

8. Decorate the place. I don’t ever decorate for autumn or Halloween but I might try putting something together, even if it’s just the mantle piece. Plus I need to use my knitted pumpkins somewhere!

9. Do some nail art. I did these nails Autumn Blaze nails two years ago and loved them. I want to recreate them and also do some more fun autumn themed nails. Not to mention Halloween nails! I have some already like my Sugar Skull nails, Pumpkin nails and Multi Design Halloween nails but there’s loads more I want to try out.

10. Make a chai latte. I don’t drink hot drinks all that often but autumn makes me crave them. I speficially want to try make a masala chai latte. I probably have most the ingredients already!

11. Other autumn crafting. So I mentioned knitting above but I might try busting out some paints and trying a watercolour. Failing that I’ve found some colouring pages on Everything Etsy that will be perfect to colour in using oranges, reds and yellows.

12. Make a playlist. Pinterest is awash with Halloween playlists and I’ve probably pinned some in my Halloween board so I might as well go and make one!

13. Update my wardrobe. I need new snuggly jumpers stat! I particularly want a jumper dress or at least an oversized jumper I can wear like that.

14. Watch Hocus Pocus! I love this film, my cousin and I watched it one year and then spent the rest of the Halloween playing in her grandfather’s attic pretending to be witches.

I might have more to add to this list but for now that’s it. I just need to make sure I tick some of these off! I created a Pinterest board which you can check out if you’re interested. What’s your favourite idea on this list? Is there anything else you’d add? Let me know in a comment below, I’d love to hear.

Winter Wishlist 2015 #BEDN


A few weeks ago I saw Rosalilium's 100 Things to Do in Autumn post and loved the idea of it. Even though autumn is my favourite season, it was a bit late to really enjoy anything in the blog post, so I sat down and made a Winter Wishlist. Just the other day Rosalilium published her 100 Things to Do This Christmas post, which you can check out here. I'm sure there will be some cross over of ideas but here are some of the things I want to do this winter and Christmas!

3. Knit some decorations

4. Decorate gingerbread houses with friends

5. Take pictures if it snows

6. Go to a Christmas Market

8. Make German Christmas cookies

9. Watch Christmas DVDs

10. Donate to charity (St, Vincent de Paul Giving Tree or a shoebox appeal or donate canned foods)

11. Make homemade Baileys

12. Make Christmas jumper

13. Celebrate 10 year anniversary with my boyfriend

14. Make a snowman if it snows

15. Board game night in

16. Christmas nail art ideas

17. Watch Late Late Toy Show

18. Cosy fireside night in knitting

19. Christmas house warming party

20. Make Christmas CD and playlist

21. Go ice skating
