I'm so thankful for all the support from my friends and family, who's always compliment on all of my sewing projects, all the dresses I have made ❤️

My friends, who know nothing about sewing, they'll always be there for me 🫶❤️

Oh, I'm enjoying being a woman ❤️❤️❤️

Pov : when people say "so nice you made your own dresses, it must be cheaper than buying them"

Here's my response to that 😂😂

making your own clothes is nice, I enjoyed it so much but it costs so much more than buying a dress from the shop 😂😂

✨ Discover London’s hidden architectural treasures during Open House Festival 2026 🏛️✨

A rare chance to step inside a building that is not always open to the public. 🤍

One of the highlights this year was Two Temple Place, a stunning neo-Tudor riverside mansion with beautiful interiors, intricate wood carvings and a fascinating history.

📍 Two Temple Place, London
📅 Open House Festival: 12–20 September 2026

A perfect opportunity to explore London’s secret spaces, historic homes and architectural gems for free. ✨

After visiting beautiful places like Two Temple Place, start preparing early because the most popular buildings and tours can fill up quickly

⚠️ If you miss it this year here are some tips for London open house 2027 ⚠️

📌 How to plan for 2027:

🗓️ 1. Create your free Open House account early
Register before booking opens so you’re ready to reserve your favourite places. Your account allows you to book ticketed events and save buildings to your itinerary.

🎟️ 2. Book tickets as soon as they are released
Ticketed tours and special access buildings are limited and often sell out quickly. Keep an eye on the official Open House Festival website for the 2027 booking date (for 2026, bookings opened in August at midday).

🏛️ 3. Choose your must-see buildings first
Make a list of dream locations, historic houses, private homes, government buildings, studios and hidden architectural treasures. The festival opens hundreds of spaces across London’s 33 boroughs.

📍 4. Plan your route
Don’t book places too far apart. Group visits by area (Westminster, City of London, South Bank, East London etc.) to fit more into your day.

⏰ 5. Check opening times carefully
Some places are drop-in, while others have fixed tour times. Always check the individual listing before visiting.

✨ My tip: Pick 3–5 priority places to visit each day, arrive early, and leave time to enjoy the architecture, history and little details.

make sure you don’t miss the best hidden gems of the city! 🏛️✨

Fog rolled in, the rain didn't stop, and the summit stayed hidden, but somehow that made the journey even more fun.

I never thought I would enjoy hiking that much, but Wales, Wales, Wales...you didn't disappoint me. 🏞️🏔️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
