New Things..

I find myself gravitating towards 'heavier' materials such as linens these days. I'm not sure why, but I really do love the texture of linen and I find even the basic colours can be paired with other colours and still remain bright and interesting. Black has been finding it's way into more of my work at the present, I do love myself some colour but sometimes it's nice to make things darker. Black does go with everything, and for that I'm grateful! These bags can now be found in the shop.

Weekend Wrap Up.

This weekend was pretty great, but it seemed to go so fast! It's already Sunday night, and almost the start of a new week. At least every week is bringing the holidays closer! The only downside to this weekend was I didn't take many photos, I actually got the last two above from my friend Hayley. Thanks!

I managed to finish off a uni assessment and got some design work done over the weekend. I spent Saturday morning working on a bright new skirt (above) to wear to a fiesta themed party that night! I'm so happy with how the skirt turned out (I don't have a better picture then that but) and I actually wore it again today. That's not gross, I swear! When I turned up at the party, my friend had the exact same fabric in a poncho! Grant also got his fiesta on with a sombrero that his sister got in Mexico, and a poncho from Mexico too!

Today Grant and I hung out with some friends that we haven't seen in ages. They are about to have a baby in a few weeks and it will probably be the last time we see them before the baby is born. I'm so excited for them! Eek!

Uni work & Gifts!

It’s full steam ahead for uni this week with a small submission due tomorrow morning. I’ve spent some time yesterday afternoon and today finishing off my presentation drawings. Here’s a quick photo of what my desk looked like while I was working on it.

I could have really gotten out my drawing board, and so I wouldn’t have had to swish everything onto my desk, buuuuuuuut it’s all the way stacked under my bed, and therefore it would have been a bit of a hassle.

Also, I got a surprise gift from Grant’s parents today:

 

How cute are they? I actually needed new socks, so why not have ones with cute cupcakes and teapots? I don’t think I will use these tissues either, so I can keep them in their pretty packaging! 

First Quilt Update.

 

 

As mentioned before, here are the rest of the pictures of the finished squares of my first quilt! It is only a small collection of them, because there is actually 49 of those bad boys! I thought it would be more of a pain than it actually was to make them up. 

Originally the quilt was suppose to be a combination of my two favourite colours, green and yellow (not Australian or anything!) but other colours kept creeping in and now its a sort of mash of colours. But that's fine, I love colour!

I am really looking forward to finishing this quilt and being able to look at it everyday when it's on my bed! =)
