Dear Ikea

I love you.

My latest trip was one of my favourites of all time, possibly because there were things I actually needed so there was less guilt about the money I was about to spend. I took photos of everything I'd want if I had a lot of money and a house to furnish.

(Just the gingham one)
(But not in pink or white)


So apparantly there would be loads of places to sit in my house. I love the big stuffed animals just before the tills - the shark is going on my Christmas wish list.

What I did end up getting is good enough though. Finally got some nice net curtains so I can keep my curtains open a lot more and not worry about people seeing inside my room. Pretty much fallen in love with my new mirror, and I painted my new desk's legs pink which matches one of my walls. The mouse cushion is supposed to be for pets - a cat I suppose - but in my experience cats prefer to sleep on something they can make their imprint in, like a warm little valley. So I bought it for my bed.




I actually made the stripey cushion next to the mouse one, I was really proud of it for a first attempt. My plan is to make everyone one for Christmas - they'd all be unique and tailored to what the person likes, I can't wait to get started!

The mini Dime bars, hotdogs and Kopparbergs are the higlight of any Ikea trip. And they've started doing fries now as well, or maybe they just never did them in the one nearest to Derby, but they're yum.
