Zig Zag

I wore this last night for winding down from a weekend of work and dinner with the fam. The dress is a vintage number from etsy, bought during the hight of my maxi obsession which has petered out a little.

dress: vintage via etsy, belt: another dress, necklace: diva

I have three - count them three - days of in a row so I splashed out and painted my nails for the first time in over a year. I have - wait for it - four days off in a row next week so I may have to pick up another colour.

I've had a spasm of inspiration from Elizabeth from Delightfully Tacky's blog post and general trawling of the internet and have decided I want to make/drastically alter more of my own clothes, especially dresses. I'll let you know how that pans out as I had an argument with my mother's sewing machine trying to put together my embroidered pillow case.

Crafty Minx

When the crafty mood hits me I need to act fast to churn it out before inspiration fades. It doesn't help that I despise cutting. However, I managed to make enough of these tags for all my gifts this Christmas season. I adore having my presents wrapped in the most beautiful way possible.

P.S.: I ordered my Christmas dress, you'll have to wait until then to see which one I chose :)

Sew nifty

I bought this material from spotlight a while back and, in the midst of procrastinating about uni work, I whipped up an apron.

I have been eyeing off some darling aprons in online and physical stores alike. Brightly coloured and beautifully structured with frills and pockets they are enough to make you cry. Alas, my sewing skill are not what you would call fully developed, so I opted for a simpler fashion.

Still, I am as proud as punch with my efforts and am looking forward to uni holidays and having time to bring to life the craft projects on my to do list.

pretty much a lazy day today before i have to work, the delights of a saturday night at a fast food restauraunt. kids movies are the order of the day. i just finished watching percy jackson and the lightening thief for the third time in as many days. dare i say it is nearly as good as harry potter? i must get my hands on the books. next up is the universal version of peter pan which makes me want to stay a child forever.

i also turned my hand to some crafting today. some of the buttons i bought off ebay are now proudly attatched to a hair comb. i need to start some more projects because i am becoming a little bored.

and of course, what im wearing

blazer, pearls, top - op shop, skirt - mink pink, socks - gift from mother dearest
