sweet knitters

Just down the road from me on Vivian street is an empty lot. Some sweet people have decided to give the sad little spot some much needed love with a bit of colourful, cheerful knitting. Isn't it sweet.

i've been busy

I have been a busy bee. But I can give you a little sneak peak at what I’ve been doing. They are still in the early stages and are just about to be fired. I’m loving china painting and I’m especially loving that I have been making time to be creative again. I will keep you posted with my new pieces from this weekend as I’m running away to the beach for the weekend to allow myself to become introverted and engrossed in the china.

The kingfisher is to sit in a necklace and the cupcake is done on old second hand china. I’m super excited about combining lovely old prints with my own to create new pieces.

a pinch of sweetness

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

A sweet little quote from a sweet little friend. Thanks sweetness x

strawberry shortcake

A friend of mine reminded me of strawberry shortcakes the other day. It made me think of the yummy talc kin powder I had as a kid as it smelt like strawberry shortcake. Mmmm yummy!

truely girly

This image reminds me of childhood and therefore home. I am also really looking forward to spending some time at home this summer, sitting by the lake, reading on the freshly cut grass, playing on the tree swing and having continuous high tea under the trees.

indie film fest

I saw this article on frankie the other day about the bondi film festival. It is accepting indie films from the public. Oh i would love to go... (hint hint). I can't wait for summer; the beach the sun the surf, yum

sweet wishes

This picture reminds me of the bus from Into the Wild... well minus the sweet ballet dancers.
Gosh that’s a good movie.

I wish I had known that he died though.

fascination begins at childhood

Seeing this picture made me think about where my fascination with tea cups came from. Like most things I relate it back to my childhood. My cousin and I were the only girls in the family at the time so whenever we visited my Nana she would make an effort to get out the good china and play ladies with us. I appreciate the time she spent doing these things with us and I hope that this still happens with girls today. Though one does doubt... but that’s a whole other rant that I don’t care to press today. For today is a day of aesthetic pleasure for me.
I’m going up to visit her this weekend on top of the grand hill the live upon. It has been a while and I hope to fosic and dabble in the closets and cabinets of my Grandparents old things. And of course play ladies.
