I’ve been pretty busy lately, however this week I actually resigned from my job to focus on arting and crafting for a little while! I’ve got lots of ideas and pretty soon you’ll be able to purchase some of their tangible forms :D At any rate, it’s that horrible time of year again… it’s almost…

Lace earrings – how perfectly lovely
You know I’m a sucker for craft and motif. On my search for jewellery making tutorials, I came across Prismera’s Lace Earring tutorial, and it reminded me so much of a pair of earrings I actually own! Last year I met Keena online, and saw a few pictures in which she was wearing these totally…
Things that have made me happy today.
Front cover of WWD. Via fashion is spinach. I’ve had an insane week, and this morning I was feeling pretty bad. Lucky Nick is great at cheering me up. He decided we were going to get a Wii today too, but that has nothing to do with the fact that I love him! We’ve been…

Trash the Dress!
I love the concept of “Trashing the Dress” but I’m still not sold on trashing mine. Ms. Polka at Polka Dot Bride reports there’s now an Australian site for TTD! My dress is going to be a labour of love, and I’m actually thinking of getting it professionally mounted as a wall display later on,…
My bridal bucket!
I’m almost sold on hyacinth for my wedding bouquet. I found this lovely picture from floristblogs.com. The bouquet consists of Sweet Pea, Hyacinth, Peony and Roses.

Apart from the brilliant photography and lighting of these blooms (by ksflower on flickr), I really love these colours together. I want to find a way of using really green things (Gerbera Pocoroco?

My primary school librarian would have conniptions
I ripped the pages out of my copy of "Beyond Good and Evil" by Nietzsche and goccoed all over them! I think I only read like 10 pages of it before being bored to death. It was quite satisfying! I have to add -why is it SO difficult to scan fluorescent ink!? These will be…
