Springtime fun

I've recently received some gorgeous little spring delights from where else but etsy. I haven't had a chance to photograph a few of the dresses but here is my latest edition to my ever expanding wardrobe.

Shoes: Senso

Skirt: 1970's skirt from Wildfell Hall Vintage

Top and Cardigan: SES

Broach: 1980's pearl and silver broach

I just love that skirt, the image is of an ocean road. There are trees and bushes, and then in the ocean are little boats and mountains. It's just so lovely.

It seems that spring really has arrived as our Wisteria has blossomed and is already being pollinated by hoards of bees. It was like walking into a horror movie, where all you can hear is an eerie buzzing, and you have no idea where it is coming from, and then you look up just as the swarm of bees engulfs and kills you. Ok, i have a wild imagination, but i was a little freaked out.

I've been crafting again, expect some craft themed updates.

A day in the garden

These berries caught my eye, couldn't resist taking a photo. I used a special close up 'scene' which is especially for flowers, plants, little creatures ect.

Open your eyes and take a look around you

Christmas is fast approaching. Carefully prying it's way into our lives. Shops are bright and glistening with decorations. Families are out and about collecting various gifts for various people. The city is buzzing and humming with Christmas whispers. And yet, i hardly feel like bothering with Christmas this year. I'd rather let it pass by me, have nothing to do with it for once, pretend that it simply does not exist. I guess that won't happen, and hopefully i will gain Christmas spirit over the coming weeks as i do generally enjoy such festivities.

On a slightly brighter note, i will be making a Christmas bunny, not because i am a Christmas nut, but because green and red are lovely colours and i may as well attempt to get into the spirit of things. And soon i will be knitting something other than bunnies, as they are becoming extremely tedious. I am currently making a gorgeous dolly, half knitted, half machine sewn, i will reveal her as soon as she is finished.

This morning, after dragging myself from bed, i slipped outside for a quick squiz at the world and noticed that my gorgeous little Hydrangea is in fully bloom. It was originally part of a biology experiment, and seems to have recovered quite nicely and returned to it's stunningly bright shade of blue.

Continuing on the note of beauty in the world, i captured quite a lovely sunset yesterday. One must of course take advantage of Mel's stunning view, which is exactly what i did.
