Stitch & Craft Show


It was a day of inspiration. There was a craft show at Olympia and I headed there with a friend to see what is new and exciting in the creative world. As a bonus to having access to so many craft suppliers under one roof, was a Quilt exhibition. With dozens and dozens of fantastic little masterpieces to choose from, I selected this beautiful multicolour quilt to photograph as it matched my amazing vintage skirt perfectly.

Amazing Indian Wedding


We spent yesterday at the most amazing Indian Wedding From an early 9am start the event was still going strong when we headed to our hotel room at 1am. I know I am not shy with my colours, but the outfits worn by the other guests were even more fantastic than every imagined. With that in mind I knew I needed to pull out all the stops with my own outfit.

To start off I decided to make use of a shawl/wrap that I made from a Sari years ago. From there I found a dress on ASOS that was the right colour, but the wrong length. The price was also right,so I bought 2 dresses and used the ruffle detail from and added it to the bottom of the another. Result, great dress, great length.

My outfit was not complete until I created one of my Amazing Vintage Brooch Necklaces. Perfect.

Necklace: Created my me
Shawl/wrap: Created by me

Outfit 5


I am all set for a romantic day with the husband starting with lunch at one of my favourite Vietnamese restaurants and then maybe a bit of shopping. The colour on the photo is a bit odd, very washed out, a few of the photos even had matrix lines through them. It looks likes after months of having troubles my camera has finally given up.
