//MAKING SPACE











Here are some sneak pics of some cards which I've been working on recently. Don't you just love it when you're inspired to create something beautiful or simple? It felt simply grand to have my own 'making (as in craft/creating) space in a little corner of the room surrounded by paper, glue and the classic fineliners. 
The cards I was working on are the result of a number of my close friends having birthdays, quite close together in the month of Jan. Thus in order to avoid last-minuteness I (forcibly) encouraged myself to sit down and finish some cards. 
Here's a little peek into my work space. I may not the very neatest of people as you may see but I've got everything I need at arm's reaching distance! 


Also while I was crafting along, I also was looking for inspiration on blogs and came across these beautiful photo of a tattoo, which I casually copied onto myself. My friends at work thought it was real, hehheh, so if anyone is after a tattoo designer, don't hesistate to ask! 

Ah, I love typography, too beautiful.




Hope you're having a creative day!

//FLORAL TREAT






Okay, honestly the first photo in this post would not be the best photo of  Val. I like to believe that photo was taken early in the morning, hence the terrible hair and sleepy eyes which no amount of photo shop can fix! And the old man socks,....interesting. 

Anywhos, back to the outfit post details! This dress is yet another altered, 'old dress, new style'  outfit. Mum and I scored this dress at one of the local op shops in our area for around $6. What was once an oversized, slightly floppy dress is now a light, sweet and airy summer dress, thanks to some hemming and sewing!

I'm also quite proud of the leaf garland I managed to fashion for myself. Whipped that one together while I was waiting for Vess to grab the camera for our mini shoot in our front yard. It's always fun to casually stroll,  pretending when neighbours drive pass not to be discretely taking pictures of ourselves.
