right now i'm...


READING:

How to find Fulfilling Work - self-explanatory,
really. Plus every fashion magazine out there.


LISTENING TO:

For non-Aussies, Rage, is the best music television show around.
It's their 25 year anniversary and they released 25 years worth of
awesomeness on two CDs, plus a DVD. Loving. Dancing.


WATCHING:

My other half and I have been having marathons of Family
Guy, American Dad, Bob's Burgers and Cleeveland Brown.


EXCITED ABOUT:

Starting at our new gym tomorrow morning at 5.15am. :)


SAVING FOR:

More fertility treatment. :(


WORKING ON:

Getting some stock together to open an etsy store full of
lovely vintage-style half-hats and headbands I made myself.

new floral pants



I love these pants. I love these pants so much, I bought two pair.
They are the kind of thing I would chuck on, on an almost daily basis,
just to kick around the house. They're comfy as anything and the best bit
is that they cost me $15 from K-Mart. WhooI I also bought them in the
other design offered, which no doubt you will be seeing soon.

ma new lunch bag (with snack pots)


Originally, I was going to get the apple-pattern lunch bag,
but then I changed my mind and wanted to get matching
snack pots, which the apple design doesn't include...
so woodland creatures it is. The other half got a black
lunch bag with a skull design on it, snack pots included.

These all came from Lark - cutest store on the planet.

pimp my ride (nanna-styles)





As I was lamenting, recently, that I realised I have a kitschy house,
I present myself to the best of my ability... but my car interior
was somewhat lacking. My car is a newish Suzuki Swift named Fairy
Bird and there's nothing too different or non-freakish I can think
of doing to her outer, but her inside was full of possibilities.

I thrifted some crochet blankets and cute pillows and went to work.
I've also ordered a crochet sterring wheel cover from etsy, so I'll
take a pic for you when it arrives. My only complaint is that I have kilos
of pug fur embedded in the seats that I fear will never come out. Ever.

donut pug pillow, car pimping and more...


I bought this donut pillow for (the real) Tallulah Porkchop.


It didn't take long.


Isn't she cute?


I've been thrifting crochet rugs and quirky pillows to
pimp my car with. I realised my house is fetchingly nanna,
but my car is really generic. About to remedy that.


Picture of Ziggy because he is handsome.


Spinach and parmasen dog biccies I made today.


And finally, I made some rocky road for my other half
to take to work as a belated birthday treat.



Oh, and I also I impulse-purchased these two
items today from Modcloth. Ugh!

the flu, thrifting and latest buys


Even though one had the flu, then gastro at the tail end, one still
found the energy (only just) to thrift this '50s compact...


two vintage cadies and a vintage dress...


a set of vintage cat ornaments and vintage salt and pepper shakers...


... and a 1960s handbag. :)


It was my dad's birthday and this is a closeup of his wrapped pressie.
I wrapped with world map wraping paper from Zetta Florence.



I am going to purchase these canvas Dr Martens tomorrow.

This is my new lunchbox I just ordered from Lark.
