Penpals!

We all love to recieve mail! not just Email, but personalised letters that come to your actual real life letterbox. I know there is a special kind of thrill i get when i recieve a letter, and i really feel that in our modern, online, society this doesnt happen all to often. Thats why i was pleasently suprised to stumble across this wonderful post on Indie Fixx, a great little website on its own, about Penpals! Now dear reader, most of the people on there are American, but if you are looking to bring some letter writing and spice back to your mailbox, choose a commentor below that post and get writing! I know i will!

Opp shop finds and Stormtroopers!

Today i had a fun afternoon with a good friend of mine, Katy. It was meant to be a crafty day, so we did a pre shop and then returned to her house for a crafternoon. But first, we stopped off at one of the many oppshops on the way... here are my super finds today:

...in an oppshop i found an uncut pattern for American civil war costumes! wow! this scarf is lovely too, and the book? We loved the cover!

I saw this somewhere on the internets.. and decided to copy it! Although it was my beautiful friend Katy who did most of the work! It feels so good to have stormtroopers on me...but it feels strange actually having nails instead of the bitten down stubs i am usually sportin'

A new skirt i finished today. Its probably the first one i have been happy with! Plus this fabric is super adorable, and teamed with a beautiful vintage heavy weight cotton given to me by my grandma. I am yet to try it out on the town but i am eager!

Graduated!

May i present... me as a graduate with my darling boy, Davey!
