Modcloth Outfits Are In!!

Yay! I have been not so patiently waiting for my Modcloth buys to travel through snail mail from the other side of the world. Today they arrived and I am overjoyed. I love all three items and they fit like a glove. I can't even choose a favourite because they would all be worn for different things. When I get pics of me wearing I will post but for now images from the website.



The first item I fell in love with was the 'Fur sighted top.' The little fur baby on here looks the same as my not so little D'Argo. I love the bold red glasses against the yellow. I am not normally a yellow girl but this was my go to buy.


The dress I originally fell in love with was out of stock so I was brave and took a risk on this 'Ignite the Night Dress.' I will actually wear a black belt with this outfit. I was unsure of the capped sleeves and the unusual neckline but I had nothing to fear. It is such a light weight fabric and is perfect for the tropics.


Finally last, but in no way least, is my new hitting the town dress. It may be covered in cherries but I haven't had a dress fit my body shape this well in years! I love the retro feel of it and cannot wait to rock the look with a small black cardi, black stockings and heels. Might add some bright red lippie and nails to.

Welcome Thomas!

I'm an aunty!!! We have a new addition to our family and it is so exciting. Thomas i s beautiful and so well behaved. My sister is doing well and her partner has been dotting on both of them since they came home from hospital. They left for the station where they are working this week. Sadly, 10 days after Thomas was born I had to return to reality and work in a separate town. I miss my morning Thomas cuddles!!! I have a few ideas for crafting project for him, I am thinking about making him a lion or a kid (goat).

Needle Book

Well this is my latest crafting endeavour. I have combined my love of fabric and cross stitching to create this 4 inch by 5 inch needle book for a swapbot swap. I had originally created a different needle book but once I saw this design on Meari's Musings, I fell in love with the idea immediately. I hope my partner enjoys this sturdy needle book as much as I enjoyed making it. She is a frog collector so she can add this little Hip Hop to her collection.
