80's are alive and kicking !!!

Op shopping... L.O.V.E... found this amazing black dress at an op shop just around the corner ! My flat mate organised a tea party for this weekend, so we were searching for old school "my Nana would have had one" teapots... we did fine one.. but i found 2 dresses !

One of them you will find below the other i plan to wear the the tea party on the weekend and promise to document the day that will be filled with LOTS of delightfully bad food and great friends :-) The paper garlands will be making a presence at this party and we have a long way to go with icing Red Velvet cupcakes and putting the coconut on Caramel Coconut slice !

I MADE PAPER GARLANDS.... i sat at our kitchen bench and cut up beloved past issues of Frankie Magazine - full of amazingly cute pictures and when i had close to 80 circles preceeded to cut glue then and hole punch and thread and .... PAPER GARLAND :-)

I am super excited to have created these.... oh I also sewed a dress... and half of a cute little doll creature... NB: i have never really sewed before.... it's all looking up ! Now some pics of my garlands....

drifting through life...almost ghost like ...

fickle kind finish last....

Human beings are fickle characters. I just learnt this recently in quite a few turn of events. Fickle in nature, emotion and action – I believe with age this increases. I think this is why I find it peaceful to photograph children. Maybe there isn’t always a motive behind their way of being they simply exist within a moment.

I admit I to am fickle in nature but I am going to make a conscious effort to be less. This maybe comes with confidence and knowing what you want and not settling. I often speak of not settling for something that isn’t just quite right – something’s are so close to perfect it’s easy to make excuses for the little things – but once you know what is amazing you should not compromise. Amazing is just that.

Where for art though truthful aspiring people… the world needs you … or at least I do.

clouded sense of being

smells like SUNDAY

Today was Sunday...

Usually my days roll from one to another with very little deviation... A Monday could very well be a Wednesday; and on the work front Tuesday is sometimes deemed Friday. But today it was Sunday in every sense of the word. I don't know what makes Sunday so special. I am not overly religious so it was not what the church would consider a day of rest- but a great Sunday it was.

My morning started with a moderately early breakfast and movie gathering with some lovely and genuine people. I have lived in this little patch of paradise for much of the last 6 years and therefore have formed a rather tight niche of friends - some who now have moved on to greener of cooler pastures but none the less remain in the niche. It's because of this lovely little (or not so little) niche of amazingly genuine friends i tend to neglect the more recent friends i have made whom whilst are not in the 'inner' sanctum (probably to their advantage) are none the less fantastic people. Today i decided to embrace this and had a great time chatting over green tea (a recent staple favourite) and catching a girlie block buster. Nice to chill and not be thinking of the next item on the list and with no agenda.

The rest of the day followed much the same... it was a glorious winters day... a perfect 26 degrees, and was for most part a lazy afternoon. Took in a brief trip to an eco festival - made a tea purchase under the instruction and guidance of a good friend (always up for some great tea), took in some folk music and mindlessly the afternoon became exempt.

Ah and it is back at Monday...

This week i have indulgent pastures to roam that include

1 - Listening to more music from 'Two Door Cinema Club'

2 - Catching some sunshine... although a tan is suspicious for the winter

3 - Drinking some delicious tea... maybe a visit to the T2 website...

I might do something random... this random act i haven't thought of yet.. but don't hold your breath... mainstream life may interfere ! oh and there is a lot of mainstream to live... hang on to your hats people... its rolling...

on a mission to make something happen

So i downloaded a new template and decided to give my blog a new lease on life ! An update I guess you could call it.. a new take on this blogging !

I am heading on an overseas adventure in T minus.... 4 months.... that's only a third of a year away... and considering i don't know where the other two thirds of the last year have gone... that is not to far ! So i have re developed this blog to TRACK my adventures... or lack of adventures !

I might post some of my favourite pics ! I love photography... i have to be in the mood to take photos and am my best critic... extreme critic ! I wish i was a perfectionist in more areas of my life ! I may just babble so ignore my rhetoric thoughts on existence and "my mission in life" it can get dull...

So that i guess is my purpose... It can only get better from here....
