Stamp Collector

How cool is this sticker calender? Perfect for stamp collectors :D I'm wondering who I could give this to. Find this and more cool stationary at Violet Gift Shop.

Stunning...

I am playing with a new Android phone application called Mobo Fashion, it's my way of looking for different sources for fashion inspiration. The first thing that popped up were these stunning heels by Alexander Mc Queen, wow! The petals are so delicate, I wonder if people wear it. I don't think I could, it would be a display piece for me, a work of art.

Looking forward to discovering more fashion with this app :) but I should probably head to bed now seeing as its 2am on a Wednesday night haha. Night!

Ethereal

Such a beautiful delicate pillow :) Find at TheHomeCentric on etsy.

Saturday Crafting

I spent much of today finishing (or partially finishing) my test bags. Partially finishing because I am still waiting on my order of magnetic snaps to arrive. But I'm still pretty happy to line them up and admire the colours. Really looking forward to trying out designs using some cool fabric I found on etsy, but tomorrow is a daytrip day to a winery region and I'm looking forward to that too. Yay to happy weekends :)

Feather

Hehe I know I already blogged about this shop, but I couldnt help posting another cute creation by iluxo, this time a lovely little necklace.

This weekend promises relatively lovely weather so Matt and I are going to try our luck and go for a daytrip to a winery region around here. New Zealand winter is pretty crazy with cold, rain, sun and wind all happening every single day (and changes minute by minute). I feel for the weather forecasters as they very nearly get every single prediction wrong. When my sister was here a few months ago she said the weather is 'throwing a tantrum' because one minute it'll be sunny and then it would be pouring rain. Oh well, so we've learnt to prepare a 'wishlist' and look out the window that day to see what the actual weather is like.

One thing for sure though is I am going to squeeze in some sewing, starting tonight. I am having fun making some journal clutch pouch with different designs and features. So much fun hehehe.

It rained overnight...

... and these huge mushrooms sprouted out of nowhere. Can mushrooms really grow so fast? We found them on the sidewalk on the way to work, and they are bigger than my hand. No idea if they're edible or safe, so I left them alone, we are in the CBD after all.

Pretty clock and happy folder

Oh my goodness, so want! Find on Etsy, made by iluxo. Can someone buy it for me please? hehehe

I was experimenting over the weekend using some new oriental flower fabric to make a journal clutch for my big A4 sized folder. I think it was a success, though I now know that going larger means straight lines are really really important, might work on smaller things in the future. I'm liking it, my folder looks stylish now, wherever it sits (and not boring plain plastic-y purple). The clutch holds my folder closed and keeps everything nice and neat. Happy.

On a random note, I did a presentation at work about my workflow in animation. I havent been that scared for a long time, public speaking is definitely not my thing. Even though I was really well prepared and it was something I already do, speaking in front of 50 odd people was so daunting. Anyway I'm really glad to have had it done and dusted, hope people learnt a few things too.
