Up up and away Indigo

When I saw this beautiful indigo linen I just had to get it, and here is what I did with it

Today I had a printing sesh! I experimented with opaque ink for the first time and boy was it a challenge! I've ended up with a couple of good prints in the end which I'm very excited about and I will sew them up and they will be available on my Etsy store shortly! Take a sneak peak below!

Indigo blue is such a happy colour :)
I learnt a heap today, and also washed my screen out. . . a lot, so I'm looking forward to printing again soon!

So with each new year I tend to go a little organise crazy, and usually have a feng shui attack and throw out all unnecessary things lying around. It's such a great feeling and sunday was the day for me, I kicked so many goals organising my loft and turning it into a productive space, designing and sewing a top, got my terrariums started AND cut up some fabric ready to print on the weekend! eeep. I can't wait to show you what it is!

p.s the first film from my diana mini is being developed, eeep! I'm so excited to see what happens

Techni-coloured dreams

Lately I've had lomography on the mind! The results are just like my techni-coloured daydreams






I have given into the dreams and treated myself to a Diana mini! I can't wait to see the results, I'm half way through the film and am dying to know what's going on in there! I'm a little bit worried I have snapped the film in my eagerness to get started, but i guess i'll just have to keep shooting

all images are from google images

Only time will tell what the result will be, Stay tuned!

Fryerstown fair

Last weekend we headed up to Fryerstown in the victorian goldfields. The town usually consists of only a closed school and a town hall. Their annual antiques fair however happens to be the largest in Australia! There was SO much to see I had a lot of trouble taking it all in! we saw so many weird and wonderful things though! check out the picture below

I really wanted to buy this vintage gum ball machine and make a terrarium in it, how cool would that be? unfortunately when i went back to get it, it had been snapped up! i wonder what they're doing with it . . .




Gav had to touch this to take the photo . . . what a guy

we finished off the day with a picnic, the way all good days should end

creative mid week day

So tomorrow is a mid week public holiday to celebrate Australia Day! Yay! I plan on having a very creative day, I want to sew a top from this fabric


Make cute terrariums in some vintage glue bottles, do some screen printing and have a BBQ with friends!

Sounds like I have a few too many plans to fit in to 24 hours but we will see how we go!

I can stich a rainbow

There has been so many fundraising initiatives pop up this week for the flood victims of QLD in Australia, Including Art 4 heart an art auction (unfortunately i was outbid early on in the emily beth prints, but at least the funds are rising!) Today I came across crochet a rainbow, which i have signed up for! It is a Sarah - London charity craft initiative Crochet a rainbow! Crafters from all around the world are crocheting and donating granny squares which will be turned into rugs to benefit those affected by the recent floods in Australia.
So far there are 138 of us and I hope the number will continue to grow! head here for more information on how to get involved

I can't wait to share my granny squares with you, so stay tuned!
