a return to craft.

So up until last week I was in a bit of a craft funk, but i decided to whip out the sewing machine again and a racoon and rabbit were born. both of them are made from vintage pillowcases found at various secondhand stores. i packaged up the racoon as a baby shower gift for a beautiful friend of mine that i had the pleasure of seeing on the weekend. the remainder of the weekend was shared with some of my very favourite people in the world. i am blessed! hope your weekend was equally as pleasant.

you already have everything you need.

I love a day at home. It reminds me of how many things I have to entertain me sitting in my room or the kitchen pantry. Lately I've been baking apple custard teacakes and chocolate pudding, cooking yummy pasta, re-vamping things in my room (like the blackboard - the quote is adapted from a public artwork I saw in west end during my lunchbreak...), making love garlands, an artwork for my sister's room and some mini bunting for my sewing box, and refreshing my nanna knowledge in the field of crochet.

the simple life is splendid. i have everything i need.

all sorts of lovely...

my sewing box is now overflowing...i love it.

Luke stealthily bought 2 tickets to see Wicked (woohoo!) for Valentine's. We went on tuesday night and it was magnificent! He also bought me the program which is full of cool pictures :)

my growing collection of little goldens. i was recently given another to add to the collection by a very lovely lady.

one of my fabric packages from the etsy store 'little tea wagon' arrived in the mailbox today! it was wrapped up so nicely, and the sheets smell of lovely laundry powder, rather than my great grandmother's wardrobe.

i was in west end today and couldn't resist popping into one of my favourite stores, Nook. i bought another pair of earrings, and some little jane st ribbon and a magnet to add to the collection.
