♥ Autumn – chilly cosy nights and warm sunny days. Love it.
♥ Dear Oly - shop and blog. Twee and cute. I can’t wait for my parcel to arrive! She also has a great flickr!
♥ Meet me at Mikes – Granny square tutorial – I will learn to crotchet dammit!
♥ Spoonflower – egads this site is amazing. Beautiful fabrics by indie designers!
♥ Kick Ass – Wow. Just wow. If you can get your head around an 11 year old hacking and slashing her way through bad guys (which might not be for everyone i know) this is a great film. Very funny and cartoon comic book like. I know. I am a big nerd.
♥ Destashing – I know I was just whining about this the other day but destashing led me to giving away some of the handbags I haven’t used in ages to my some of my lovely friends. I love sending things off to a good home!
♥ Rewards for debt – well not really. I had enough points on one of my cards to get a free magazine subscription. Hello Oz Vogue in my post box every month! (There wasn’t much choice unfortunately)
♥ my lovely new necklace from etsy seller Giaa – so pretty (image from her etsy – my camera is not co-operating today)
Phew did a lot this weekend!
♥I bought some yarn and some new needles to knit these wee guys bu Jake Henzler. Great beginner project I think! Though am not a complete beginner but I only ever really got around to knitting long rectangles aka. scarf!
♥I restrung these opshop necklaces. Learnt the hard way that you should serioulsy consider doing this before wearing them out in public. Yes no matter how pretty they are. Though I did alter the white and navy one to make it longer. It drapes beautifully now!
♥Started reading this…
♥Had lunch with my lovely mother outside in the fresh air of my garden (with some gnomes)
♥Did a MASSIVE clean out of my room. It is looking much nicer now and I actually want to spend time in here.
Browsing ThreadBanger I came across this great post about craft rooms and nifty storage ideas for all those crafting odds and sods. These rooms are really stunning and well organised bright inspiring places. Great to get ideas for eventually getting around to doing up mine!

Despite the patchy weather today, I feel spring is finally in the air which means I can start having more fun with my wardrobe and have to worry less about being warm. Nothing like the sun on bare skin (with SPF of course). I have already made some sewing plans to have some nice little skirts to frolic in.
Here is some of the fabric I have in my stash to transform. More pictures coming soon after my shopping adventure in the sewing store!
Saw this on the lovely Australian crafty blog Meet me at Mikes. What a great idea. I am a bandit for making lists!
10 things I am going to do this weekend in no particular order…
1. Food shopping – I have been making an effort to buy local produce at my nearest markets lately. So much better for the environment and it tastes SO much better than the stuff you buy in the big supermarkets that is it worth paying that tiny bit extra. Support your local farmers!
2. My floordrobe is taking over my bedroom and I can’t actually really make it to my craft desk in the spare room. I really should get on that…
3. Making a necklace from this tutorial from the fab blog by the Glamourai.
4. Inglorious Basterds. I love QT.
5. Going to the opening of the new Belconnen Arts Centre. Music and fun!
6. I have been reading Pygmy by Chuck Palahniuk. It is pretty wacky in the best way possible.
7. Seeing my lovely boyf <3
8. Visit my local sewing store for fabrics and patterns. Spring is finally here and I want to make some cute skirts to get ready!
9. I bought a Holga camera weeks ago (see here) Am going to go exploring!
10. Sleeping in. My favourite Sunday morning activity.
