Anyone who knows me will be aware that I love my iPhone. I’ve been an iPhone user since the first gen was released in 2007. As soon as I saw the TV advert for it I knew I would own one and bought it very soon after that. I finally owned the device I’d always […]

Move, lump & tattoo
So in my last post I mentioned that we were having troubles with teenagers causing us stress at our flat, and that we would be moving. We have since moved into a lovely little 2 bedroom house in a nice quiet cul-de-sac, and the only noise we hear is our next door neighbours kid running […]
The week in review – Moving, dentist & OMG there’s a lump in my armpit!
So I don’t think I’ve mentioned it here, just on Facebook, that we’ve had some trouble with teenagers in our area. We live above a shop and naturally kids tend to hang out outside of it, which basically means right below our lounge window. That’s fine (mostly), but the little fuckers think it’s ok to […]
Last week.
I did my first fully sponged nail gradient. Pete and I each bought an iPhone 5S. We visited Pete’s cousin for his aunt Sigrid’s birthday over the weekend, and I took shit loads of photos and video with my awesome new iPhone camera. I’m loving the slow motion video feature!

Life as it stands – freedom
Tonight (Sunday, 23:03) I said to Pete “I wish it was Saturday night again. I don’t want to go to bed”, and then he made a very good point. Our life if not exactly hard or stressful at the moment. We go to work, then come home and have the whole evening to ourselves. We […]
Violetsteel.com Temporarily Broken
Oh my goodness. I only got to bed at about 1:15 am last night because I managed to break my WordPress install. I used to have my homepage redirecting to the WordPress install I had in a sub-folder, and yesterday evening decided to do away with the redirect and just have WordPress as my front […]
Steampunk Manicure Using Actual Watch Parts
So even though I don’t post about it much I am still buying nail varnish and painting my nails like a woman possessed. Today I was creating a double page for my gorgeous niece, Macayla, in my Smash Book when I was hit with the inspiration to use watch parts so create a steampunk manicure! I […]

Zentangling
So I’ve been getting into a doodle art form called “Zentangle” and I’m loving it. Both the process and the results, and it’s incredibly easy to do! This was one of my first ones… Zentangle – Circle 2 by *violetsteel on deviantART
