no one reads this really, so i don't know why i'm sorry that i'm hammering out the posts. just finding loads of fun, cute stuff. after all - the best thing in life is collecting.
find this wrapping paper and some very nice mugs here

wrong
it is wrong to be working on a sunday. especially when the sun is shining and the beach is calling. alas - these are the cards i have been dealt today! luckily, between wrapping canvases for delivering back to artists i am able to peruse such wonderful blogs as 'kindra is here' which is jaw-droppingly gorgeous and inspirational!
really must get around to posting some photographs of things i've been working on lately. i have my eye fixed firmly on tomorrow! ha-ha! day off at last!
indian street patterns
nina is in india at the moment and she just sent me some pics of street patterns.
delicious. i'm dying with joy - vicariously of course!

craft drawers
any every house i've ever lived in i've had some sort of 'craft drawers' - everything from the bottom shelf of a coffee table (a-la-vancouver) or my dad's chest of drawers from when he was 6 (a-la-doubleview).
i am very excited about setting this all up when we relocate to melbourne...found these excellent ikea drawers via a very lovely blog called kirin notebook and they look like just the boy for the job!
gorgeous!
i won't be so brash as to say i'm going to 'quilt' anything this year....i mean the afghan is a big goal seeings as i don't even know how to crochet (although my omama ensures me it's easy).
found this subtle, gorgeous quilt pattern via Hyena in Petticoats and i'm definitely going to keep this one on the backburner....

happy new year!
i don't really have many readers so i guess i'm wishing the universe a happy new year!
this year is going to be a pretty big year. first year of marriage. moving to melbourne. new job. more craft! I have some specific and non-specific goals for 2008
specific
- crochet my first afghan blanket (oh it's going to take me a long time to even decide on the colours)
- buy and illustrate/paint/decorate some blank matryoshka dolls
- take the handmade pledge
- keep on bloggin'
non-specific
- ever-continual expansion of my culinary knowledge and obsession
- do as many road trips/weekends away exploring my new state
- continue taking as many photos as i have done in the last year
- be more generous, kind, open, loving than ever before
