the happy little world of miss ktp!

Well I made the end of the Febphotoaday challenge (even though I did miss blog post part 3!) & really enjoyed it so here's to March's challenge! Here are the remaining parts 3 & 5 for your viewing pleasure! * front door - the door to our new office (more on that later!) * self portrait - it was so snowy that day & couldn't resist getting a photo with my earmuffs on! * makes you happy - this symbolises cuddles in bed & keeping warm with our beddy bears, nowt beats it! * inside your closet - I'm still impressed that I manage to keep it this tidy on a daily basis! * a fave photo of you - this is from our engagement party of Art, Sam, Ross & I pulling our drunk face & makes me smile every time I see it. Can't wait to get a pic like this with all the uni lot in my wedding dress! :P * where you work - this is our new office that we've not long moved into, the walls are bare bricks & we have a lovely view of the Thames, the atmosphere is so...

At 6pm on Friday 17th Feb we all switched off computers & scurried away to get changed into our outfits ready for Donna's wedding. The night before I'd been at Rajat's Pooja ( link here ) & tonight was the big day for them both & it was all rather exciting! Seeing as Donna's Catholic & Rajat's Hindu they had a Catholic service in the morning which I couldn't make cos of work boo! (I did see a video clip & a few photos from a few people who did make it though & she looked gorgeous) & then the big celebration/reception & Hindu service in the evening. Loads of people from work came which was really great to have some time with them out of the office & get to know them better. While nattering we sat down for a bit to wait our turn to go up on the stage to meet the happy couple. These are some of the design team I work with on a daily basis & they also look after me in Mumbai! It was then our turn to go up...

While I was in Mumbai 2weeks ago as well as working on our new collection I was also invited to take part in Donna & Rajat's wedding celebrations. I work quite closely with Donna so it was weird not seeing her in the office but was great to see her & be part of her wedding in the evenings.  The night before the actual wedding was Rajat's Pooja. It was held between two blocks of flats in his complex & it was quite funny to see the residents having to walk through the service to get to & from their homes. These snaps are from during the Pooja. I felt a bit awkward at first being the only white girl there & wandering round while it was going on but after a while (& after I realised everyone else was doing the same) I was getting right in there! The exhibitionist strikes again! There was lots of singing (all in Hindi) & clapping & the service went on for about 3hours. They even came round with cups of tea for everyone whil...

Well pancake day came & went & we had no pancakes (it was a mix of me still feeling a bit off & also couldn't be bothered!) but finally last night Adam & I decided to break out the shake to bake mix & have ourselves some. It all started well when I poured out the mix & made a few perfect ones, that was till I got a bit cocky & thought I'd try flipping one & as anyone could have predicted, it just creased up & got in a bit of a battery mess, when will I ever learn?! I couldn't possibly give Adam my screwed up excuse for a pancake so I gave him my good ones & I attempted to roll mine up & drizzle some lemon & sugar over them. The end result was Adam's plate looked really good & all ready to roll up & eat while I got one good rolled up one & 3 other what can best be described as lumps. All in all though no matter how they looked they all tasted the same & it reminded me that even though I...

Since getting back to Blighty Adam & I have been working pretty hard at ticking off things from our wedding to do list (can't believe it was 200 days to go on Valentines Day!). We've sent the invites off to print (after I prised Adam away from tweaking his design on the mac!), I've got a few more bits for my outfit & so has Adam, we've planned our next meeting with the Priest & are getting ready to rope in our mates to help with cake toppers, posters, etc. Exciting times! Also on a side note that delhi belly helped me budge an extra few lbs! Not that I condone this as a good weight loss technique but it sure gives you summit to smile about while you're still feeling a bit sorry for yourself! Ttfn x

I'm back! Not sure if you missed me or not but I'm back all the same! Didn't really get much time to blog this past week after flying to India on Valentines day with work, being mega busy there working on our collections, attending a wedding & working thru the dreaded delhi belly (enough excuses for you?!). I only landed back last night & while I sit back at my desk trying to figure out what time zone I'm in I'll leave you with some more of my Febphotoaday pics (I cheated a bit cos they're not done instagram while I was abroad but I'm sure y'all will forgive me?!). * Blue - I was feeling a bit stressy & down before my flight to India - so much to do in such little time. * Heart - Adam & I had given each other cards to open on Valentines day seeing as we were apart from each other - spooky thing was we'd bought each other the same type of card & written pretty much the same thing, surely it's too soon to start merging into...

What's better than giving the person you love a secret message that can only be deciphered when they scan it with their phone?! I first saw the idea here & thought I'd give it a go. I made my own personal QR code using a site like this & got stitching away in my lunch hour. It was fun watching Adam figure out what it was & then when he scanned it the real message appeared. I love doing crafty things but I've just not had the time lately to start anything new but while doing this a little spark has been ignited again so watch this space, hopefully there'll be a lot more diy things in the future! We'd both agreed we wouldn't do gifts this year (I think getting married is a big enough gift of love to one another!) but Adam also couldn't resist getting a bit soppy & got me a toast stamp for my breakfast. I love the way we both had the same message to say but used 2 different methods - one retro & one techno! Hope y'all had a lovely ...

Well as if my London ramblings last Friday wasn't enough here are some more of my thoughts about London, (if you haven't got a clue what I'm on about click here to see my last post), I've focused more on the people that make London this time: ~ true friendships are not that easy to find at first, unlike at uni or school when everyone arrives on a set date & ready to make friends, when you arrive in London it's just a normal day to everyone else as they go about their normal lives. Yes you have mates but it takes a while before making actual friends. It's scarily easy to loose friends too cos everyone has such busy lives that you have to plan everything so far in advance, even a coffee date is often planned weeks to a month before. ~ there's always something new to see or do but you end up not going to nearly enough galleries & there are always posters for shows you want to see but never get round to (that's when visitors come in useful cos when t...
