Happy Halloween!

my creative space

As I'm sewing I chuck completed goodies in a wicker basket, which I then turn inside out at night time. Go system!

yellow week

I'm also working on some new cards - you can see a sneak peek above. Hooray for stripey yellow paper goods! My card making process is now a lot easier thanks to some friendly tips from Bec @ Little Shop Of in Carnegie, who also now has some new goodies in stock!

I really like my new deer-person - he made his debut on my fabric design, and now I'm drawing him everywhere! He may also make an appearance in my forest series of prints. (How do I know it's a he? 'Oh my, what big horns you have!')

Shinzi Bento Boxes

There is a version of the Shinzi Katoh website in English - it's not as cute as the Japanese version, so the rest of the links go to that site.
I love these onigiri cases. So cute! I think I'm looking for one more like this.

Happy looking!

some days...

blogtoberfest day 10

I took 'before' photos, and will show 'afters' when the plants are looking happier!
We also planted tomato & eggplant... hooray! You can see the tomato in amongst my magic mushrooms. I love home grown tomatoes so much. Exciting. Also, so excited that there are two consecutive warm days this weekend. Starting to feel like Spring.

Lindt Macarons...

Update: in a case of what seems to be some sort of vegan karma, these Macarons gave me a very upset stomach. Eat at your own risk. Back to regular Blogtoberfest scheduling soon.

I also got this super sweet little icecream ring from Leakhena on Etsy... cute! Icecream & a ring, how I love it.

delicious

Also, if I'm not blogging here any day of Blogtoberfest, there will be a post at Vegerati!
Pictured is my recipe book... I'm a bit of a cooking snob and can never follow recipes, I always think my adaptation will be far better (and probably easier). So, recently I've started writing all my recipes down. It's great! Although as you can see I write down the ingredients, and almost never the instructions, so it can be a bit hit & miss trying to recreate them.

today i...
Spent a lovely afternoon at my Grandma's house, eating little cakes and chatting. And avoiding sewing... hooray for Grandma aiding my procrastination.

This is what was waiting... so many unmade pencilcases. I did at least iron them, that's a start!

Happy Blogtober!
It's Blogtoberfest! And, I'm going to try really hard to stick with it, and do 1 blog post per day. I've already fulfilled today's quota with this delish Walnut Bolognese recipe at Vegerati, but here are some pretty work in progress pics for you to look at!
Two pretty clutches made with recycled / vintage fabrics & some of Lara's fabric - the front is discontinued Bulokku matched with vintage canvas blind fabric, and the back one is gorgeous Ink & Spindle Birch Forest fabric (buy your own here!) with some beautiful vintage cotton with a print of leaves.
They have undecided fates... I like them too much to do anything yet! For now I am content to just keep them on my table and look at them.
And these are some very sunny Summer-y clutches I'm working on... I love this fabric, it's actually from an (unused) promotional tea towel I found in an op shop, so pretty! I think it's going to go with some more of the vintage canvas blind fabric - it doesn't quite work with denim.
Off to do a little more work and possibly work on a new art print... see you tomorrow for day #2 of Blogtober! I promise that not all of my posts this month will be work in progess shots...
You can see who else is participating in Blogtoberfest here.
