As you may have already noticed I enjoy taking challenges, and for a good reason! Challenges are good for achieving goals. Not all types of goals of course, but if you want to learn something or get to start doing something then this method is the best (at least in my experience). In the past […]

How I started bullet journal + my New Year goals
By Rasa Pelham on January 11, 2018 in Daydreaming, Inspiration, Learn something new, Plans&Goals, Updates
So here we are, I am starting my very first bullet journal!! As excited as I am you should really know that it took me over a year to actually try out this organisational system. Initially I noticed my friend Jacolien journaling on the Instagram (@made2celebrate) and then I read somewhere that this system lets you do […]
My reflections on 2015
It’s almost 2016 and I am very excited to share my reflections on 2015 ;-). What a year it has been! In the beginning of 2015 I have created 7 new year resolutions that most have been achieved and on top of it some dreams came through that I did not imagine it would happen […]
May favourites
It’s June already so essentially you could call it summer, but somehow it doesn’t feel like summer :(. Although I do believe it will come soon! For now I thought I will share my May favourites. First I was addicted to strawberries (I guess thats what baby wants and needs :-D). No wonder I ate […]
January favourites!
It’s february already and instead of sharing about things I look forward in this month I have decided to review the previous month. After all, it’s good to plan and look forward to the future but it’s also great to look back and review your favourite moments and what you have already achieved in your […]
New Year resolutions + free printable 2015 calendar
Wow! It’s 2015 already! I hope you had great New Year celebrations! Every year I love making New Year resolutions (some are more effective then others).

Tips on making a photo album
I will admit, this is my first time making a photo album. So I guess you are thinking why on earth am I sharing my tips on this! The thing is, when I was at Uni (studied Fashion) I did my fair share of presentations in booklet form (I don’t even remember what they were […]
Autumn wardrobe inspiration
First things first, happy happy first day of autumn! Aren’t you loving this? If you asked me this question 5 years ago I would ask what is there to like about autumn? I really disliked the cold wether (still do). But recently somehow I have learned to love autumn. I guess I have to thank […]
Bill’s Japanese Curry
To be completely honest I am not big on oriental cuisine, but Joni loves it very much, so I have been quite eager to learn. This is why I was really happy to receive Bill’s Everyday Asian cook book as a gift from Amanda and Dan. I came across Bill’s restaurant over a year ago […]
Happy 1st of September!
By Rasa Pelham on September 1, 2014 in From my childhood, Let's Celebrate!, Lithuanian, Organisation, Paper Crafts, Pretty patterns for crafts
1st of September has always been an official 1st day at school in Lithuania with celebration and parades. Don’t you think that celebration is a great way to start the school? To me this was something I looked forward to, although I was never a good student (except arts and biology). Another thing I was looking […]
Our apartment in Tuscany
We were on the strict budget when planning our honeymoon. If you have read wedding dress alterations post, you probably remember that most of our money went on the reception venue and caterers. But our holidays turned out amazing! Sometime low budget doesn’t have to be less enjoyable. Sometimes you just have to be more […]
Last knitting group meeting in Tottenham
It’s have been really fun meeting everybody for knitting and cup of tea with a cake in our knitting get-togethers. This was quite an experience for me too! We have learned different methods of casting on, knitting and interesting new stitches. We shared tips and even books! Sadly this is coming to the end as […]
Time to organise your handbag!
We, ladies, love to organise (or most of us)! Our overfilled/have everything you need handbags are no exception! I do admit, sometimes I wonder if I take more time organising or doing actual tasks. Last year I made the cosmetic bag that Vickie loved. This year I have decided to made a book pouch. Because […]
Ghost meringue cake
As Halloween is fast approaching I thought I will bake Beetroot chocolate meringue cake for today’s knitting group meet up. I made the meringues on the cake look like little ghost! The base recipe is adopted from “A Tiny Bit Marvellous” by Dawn French (surprisingly not a recipe book, but a novel). BEETROOT CHOCOLATE MERINGUE […]
