scuse my non posting

i have officially started selling my clay jewellery so i have been kept busy with orders and organising - which takes so much more time than i thought it would!

i am also going on holidays to switzerland (yay) soon, so this blog shall be taking a hiatus.

but it will be back up and running in the new year!

the computer can't tell you the emotional story.
it can give you the exact mathematical design,
but what's missing is the eyebrows.

my wish is to be this cool when i grow up

tea party

there was an assortment of teapots
as well as paper flowers and glass bowls full of 'deco balls'


there were more teapots, including my personal favourite 'tea time'
one of my friends said that this was her favourite, only one problem, it's always tea time!
you can also see our stand packed full of sandwiches and quiches and scrolls and scrumptiousness!


there was a hammock
behind the tomato truss


and who could forget the scones?
the lovely sarah, along with alex, made a beautiful streamer out of doilies - such a great idea! - that you can see in the background here.


thank you to the lovely ladies who came,
and may we have many more lovely afternoons like this
♥

pancreas

theyre an important organ that we can't forget.
and some people even write songs about them!






weird al is just brilliant. he can mimic so many different music styles and his lyrics are hilarious!

Oooh oooh oooh ee-oooh oooh oooh
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh-oooh oooh
Oooooh

I'm always thinkin' 'bout it
I don't know what I'd do without it
I love, I really love
My pancreas

My spleen just doesn't matter
Don't really care about my bladder
But I don't leave home without
My pancreas

My pancreas is always
There for me
Ahh-oooh




and it goes on

desserts

my tea party was an absolute success!
the weather, which has been miserable recently, decided to be very sunny and wonderful and warm and happy!

there was lots of food, as you can see.
in this photo you can see the friands and scones and chocolate crackles.
and just on the edge on the left you can see fairy bread (♥) and berry/white choc scrolls.
there were also various personifications of chocolate, in brownies, cookies and also some beautiful kourabiethes.

the best thing is?
everything was handmade!
by myself and my lovely friends, so thank you guys!


more photos to come

and i just want to add that this photo was not posed,
but my friends were eager to eat after i made them wait whilst i took photos

seams

i'm one of those people who is picky about clothing quality.
after spending 4 years learning about textiles and sewing techniques and the burning characteristics of every fibre you can think of, i pick my clothes carefully.
so it annoys me when i get it wrong.

my most favourite singlet ever, the best shape and fit and the most comfortable fabric, has just a bizarre cut. it's a discrepancy in the making that only my singlet has.

the bad thing is looking at it everytime i wear it i see this weird seam, that instead of going down goes slightly across and ends on a diagonal. i know it doesn't sound like much, but after 4 years of 'your mitred corners aren't flat enough' and 'i can't believe that shocking overlocking!', it really bugs me to see it everytime.

it gets worse.
because i love it and it's so comfortable, i went back to buy one with straight seams.
they don't have them anymore!
well, they do. but in the wrong fabric, a terrible synthetic one.

from now on, i will only purchase an item once it has passed my thorough sewing quality control check!
