Jacquie (a very talented lady and fellow Tasmanian) was kind enough to send me two of her gorgeous pins from her Under The Shade Of A Bonsai Tree Etsy store. I am totally smitten. Cannot possibly choose between them!

+ i've been drawing a lot of these obsessively symmetrical mandala-y things lately.


+ i thrifted this 'margaret' mug a few years ago with a matching one that says 'barry' - i often wondered how they ended up in the opshop together - perhaps margaret and barry separated and neither could bare to take either of their matching mugs + some experimental screen printing from class last week.




+ i bought a new desk andbookshelf this week (both very white and sleek) and took it as an opportunity to rearrange and reorganise the bits around my desk. also pictured is my new lightbulb lamp.





+ stuff in my house + taking (only some) of c's cd collection out of the lounge room - so many cds - so obsolete!


+ things i didn't buy while thrifting - the shoes were too small and the care bare mugs were $10 each. wishing i'd nabbed them now though.


+ knit lab is now in full swing! + a visit to the 'apron design markets' with red legs.


+ one of my team textiles pal's lab coat + the jumper i wore to the knit lab opening party.


+ what c wore to the knit lab opening party - the bow was made by lovely carla.


+ i've been watching a whole lot of the tour de france lately (with cat on lap) - i can't go to sleep unless i see who has won each night's stage + the pretty lady backdrop at one of mine and c's favourite cafes.


+ 2am porridge + passport sized bianca (this looks nothing like me).


+ very old church + sparkly tree lights.


+ house i wish i could live in + kitty.

(+ my list for monday) seen today;
+ firecrackers blazing in a bin
+ william pugh, the statue, wearing a hoodie

+ a bicycle bell that read "i ♥ my pet"
+ lovely houses in st. john street we wish we could afford to live in
+ soup in a self heating can (i bought one for c)
+ children taking photos of strangers sneakily from around a corner
+ tiny sparkly lights in trees
+ the spooky old scottish free church

This photo was taken in Feb 2009 at a gig called 'Black Valentine'. The organisers had set up this 'paper moon' and for something like $4 you could get your photo taken with a Polaroid camera and take home the picture. This is me and my friend Turk. I recall having a great deal of fun on this evening - wonderful music and friends. One of the only times I've ever been drunk (I could count the times on about three fingers). Also, I miss those boots!



+ Today marks the beginning of Polaroid Week 2011.
+ I used to own the little beauty above but now it belongs to E.
+ Remember the weird bunny suit Polaroid I found?
+ This is what my old lounge room used to look like.
+ I'm super keen to buy a little Polaroid Instant 300 this week.

I'm sure you've got one to contribute, no? :)

+ twins picture original.
