♥ 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)

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!

Spring is finally starting to show its pretty colours in my garden. Check out these little beautys

I do I try to go op shopping every two weeks if not every week but due to other commitments (and occasionally getting some extra beauty sleep) a few weeks can pass before I manage to go. Going regularly is a good chance to get familiar with the cycle of clothes so you can pretty much instantly spot what is new!
Didn’t have much luck with clothes this time but I did pick up some goodies!
