colouring in is forever

i still love colouring in.

christmas time reminds me of colouring in with my little sister.

here are two buki geometric patterns that i have coloured in. buki is the greatest, cutest, loveliest company that makes educational, crafty toys. they fill me with such nostalgia!

they have loads of great gift ideas for any creative person of any age!

more inspiration...

thanks to anastasia i found this cute website a fine little day...go on, look at it! you know you want too!

(nina, sonny & lici...go on! look!)

so cute it hurts!

was having a lil meander around the place and i found these...knitted hotdogs, robots, cups of coffee, tv dinners! eeep!

the world would be in trouble if i could knit/crochet like this!

BNice2Mice you are so talented!

and so it begins again....

back at work and the exhibition cycle begins again (just had an opening on friday night and i begin organising the next exhibition immediately after).

had a great night volunteering last night. it was the australian premier of stan alley's documentary FIGWIT as part of the ByteMe! 07 digital content festival. Oh yeah, thats what i've been volunteering at. it's on till sunday, check out the website below! i have been picking the brains of some great international and local artists.

very inspiring despite a pathetic attendance from perth locals as usual! oh well, not to be disenchanted!

cups-o-tea & snowbunny sewing in the sun

well my solitary day off has arrived and i am happy to say that i am lounging in my lotus pj pants, drinking cups of tea and finishing up sewing my second snow bunny to the sounds of radio national. no one is home and i've been ignoring the phone (except for when you rang mum!) and it feels very good. i have volunteering again tonight for a few hours which i wish i didn't, but i do.

managed to take a photo of my recent fabric acquisitions. how cute is the gorgeous japanese mushroom fabric? it was only $12.99 from spotlight of all places. i bought 1 metre of each without any project in mind but have since decided upon making a sturdy tote with possibly a pink gingham lining. i'm determined to do one completely by the book and have been scouring online tutorials for the perfect pattern. the mushrooms deserve nothing less than perfection!

ninoo! i miss oo!

today i am crafting away and am reminded of the recent departure of one of my long time crafting besties - nina. love you!

puffy eyed panda

i am beyond exhausted....just wanna stay home in my pj's and finish sewing my new snow bunny and begin other assorted crafty projects. all in the name of a deathly combination of work and volunteering! tomorrow i have the whole day off and all i have in mind is cups of peppermint tea, vegemite toast and hand-sewing in bed. heaven!
