Guiltless hours of indoor time to knit and sew
Cosy indoor fires
 Snow Boarding
Listening to a rainy day/night when im tucked up in bed
Eating to put on my winter coat
Trips to Wanaka
Playing indoor games

Cuddling hot water bottles
Drinking lots of Teas
Winter Jackets
Beanies, Scarves and Mittens
Getting into bed after the giving the electric blanket a 15 minute headstart
Hot baths

Paolo Nutini

Im a bit late in realising how amazing this guy is. A dear friend of mine introduced me to his music before I realised that he was the artist behind his more mainstream songs like 'new shoes' and 'Jenny don't be hasty'. I love his music and his voice is not what i'd expect for a 23 year old which I think attracts me to it even more.

Many of his songs are my favourites but the one I want to share today is 'growing up beside you'.
Its a bit of a slower one.

Whos the Boss?

Now, I haven't actually finnished this yet but I have to share with you what im up to and also show you how cute my dog can be.

Ive been asked to make a suit for a friends dog for their wedding and this is my little play around to see how I could make it work.

For Joy

My friend Joy requested a wee while ago that I make her a coat for winter to keep her toastie. I agreed. We briefly spoke of what she wanted and off I went and created her a coat over Queens Birthday weekend. It was my last project before I start on the big Wedding project. aaargh!





Creative Cats

I have joined an awesome group who gather together once a month around yummy treats in front of a warm fire and do crafts. It might sound geeky to some but its flippin amazing to say the least. We all share knowledge and make some pretty sweet stuff. Since then, I found that there are not enough hours in the day to make stuff. We all motivate each other to start and finnish projects and we also have 'show off and tell' where we all show off what weve been up to since we last saw each other.

New things

I haven't posted any creations in a while but I definitly have been a little busy bee. I promise. Craft has taken over my life in the last few weeks and there has been little time for internet. Hoping to post more soon but heres 2 shapeless dresses I have made. Im loving them for winter cos theyre so comfy to wear with a warm pair of tights and a belt. Depending on my mood, I wear them with some round toe heels or my comfy flat boots.

here goes...


Thank yous go out to the talented Tania for the photos and Jodique salon for the nails.
