walking the streets of melbourne on honeymoon my new to be husband took me into alannah hill's store and i was swept away by everything about it! i was totally hooked! Just not on the price of course, as i walked out empty handed but with a free catalogue of course and i'f kept it hidden in my treasure box since about 6 months ago now..

 I'f been waiting to blog about this! It's like the cherry on top! lol :) if i had a wardrobe like this everyday i would be the happiest girl! I love everything about this photo-shoot! 

she is amazing the website is to die for!

UPDATE!

HI guys

I hope you like the new change that has followed~ 

my trusty friend amanda baxter helped me fix me up! 

she is a fashion goddess! click here for her blog

ok well gota run on my way to church !

bye bye

it's all about felt!

These couple of days after we had the queens birthday i have decided to really get into making crafty felt creations. After hours and days researching through etsy i have found these interersting trees and bird houses!

Now i have been prity much just making felt brooches & necklaces. But hey look at this.. I thought this was very creative and inspiring to me to not just stop at making brooches and necklaces but to explore felt in different ways.. lol. i sound like i am philosophising about felt ~!

It keeps me busy and I want to buy a printer so I can design my own lable and all and give etsy and my store a taste of my own creations.. :)

Winter is creeping up more and more everyday and so me and mike gave into the cold and purchased a new oil heater as well as a fan heater for our room. I woke up this morning and there was water dripping from the window sill? My mother in law is also coming this weekend, which means I have to clean my butt off this afternoon when I get home. We want a nice cozy warm house for them to walk into and hopefully not a wet damp one in the morning!

Me and Mike spoke about our trip overseas, and it sounds like our trip would be well planned and done in 6-8 months, atleast our budget! The plan for now is South-Africa, Morocco, Egypt - Europe, France, Italy, Holland, Greece, Mexic, Peru and I wouldn't want to miss going to Hungary to see a good friend of mine called Niki.

I can't wait to go overseas it's a burning desire! And we can't wait to go...

For now I am keeping busy with friends & family and of course my felt creations to keep me occupied until we have enough saved!

find these creations here

Brooches, fun & love

YES! I DID MAKE THAT BROOCH! AND I AM MAKING MORE OF THEM AS WELL! SOON I WILL HAVE AN ETSY SHOP AND WILL BE SELLING THEM AT MY STORE! It will be a variety of lace/buttons & felt. 

coming soon

Over the weekend we had to go see mike's grandmother, she was very depressed and she lives alone and of course there are always family dramas included. So we thought we would take a wonder to go to the beach and go on a adventure. I have never been to Whakatane, and so Ohope was just about 5min drive to this beautiful beach. Me & Mike discovered our inner photographer and went for it lol!

Lucia Holm

look amanda another indian hat thing going! i think its trend!

Lucia Holm
everybody!

is one amazing chick! She mostly does self portraits which means she models/design and take the photo's all by herself its amazing! Her work is to drool over and I can't seem to get enough of it either.

and here is a little bit more about her.....

Hello all!

My name is Lucia Holm, but my friends call me Lulu.

You may know me as Miss Lulu & The Teaspoon Shortage (if you are a myspace/flickr member). I received my BFA from Rhode Island School of Design in 2004, and my MFA from New York Academy of Art in 2006. Since then, I've been doing freelance work, both fine art and photography related. Each photo is taken and edited by me (and styled thus far).

Every photograph I take is a wonderful learning experience..I'm interested in working with new faces (models, makeup artists, stylists, etc.)--Can't take self portraits forever!

If you are from the NJ/NY area, and we see eye to eye, I'd love to work with you!
I'm just an hr from Manhattan, and 15 minutes from the beach here in Central Jersey.

HAPPY TIPS

ITS WINTER TIME AND I LOVE SITTING CLOSE TO DIM LIGHTS JUST BECAUSE IT FEELS

I want to ride a bike with my husband but ours got stollen ... :) which is unfortunate
its ok because its freezing here at the moment , but when the sun pokes its head out on the weekends it makes me want to dance in the sunlight

I think its so easy to forget to have fun! With winter creaping up all of a sudden and we are all stuck in our houses there isn't much fun things to do unless your drinking an entire can out of Milo everyday & watching endless movies!

So I want to hear from U what you like to do as fun (5 tips)?!

Because I am out of ideas and need inspiration from ALL OF YOU!

Provide a simple few tips and it will benefit us ALL..

1. 
   
   try not to stay at home all the time and make efforts
2. 
   
   in going for walks and feeding the ducks
3. 
   
   try and find a place you have never been too close by, for example:
   restaraunt,video store,op shop,gallery
4. 
   
   do something out of the ordinary everyday, (if you keep walking pass a shop you have never been into go and have a look anyways, there might be hidden treasures)
