+ Just a little post-it note list today. I'll admit I'm slightly lacking in inspiration lately.
Anything else you'd add to the list? :)

I mentioned recently that I signed up for the 2011 session of The Sketchbook Project - the tiny and cute journal arrived late last week and I have started on a few pages so far. When you sign up, you have to choose from a list of themes - I wanted something broad but something I could come back to for inspiration - so I chose 'Time Traveler'. I'm still not sure where I'm headed with this theme but I've been jotting down ideas.


+ I decorated the cover to begin with using a pen, acrylics and a tiny brush (I don't own any brushes larger than a pen tip).






+ Some of the (not quite finished) pages.


+ A little time traveler ideas mindmap.


+ The back cover.

I will try to document more of the pages as I fill them in before I send it off.

+ dress: vintage fair, jacket: maxim, shoes: rivers, belt: rusty.

I bought this dress at Vintage Fair in Launceston several months ago, but have never worn it because the first time I washed it it shrunk about three sizes. I have since learnt that one should hand wash important woollen items. It still just fits.

I am currently coveting this fabulous looking book by Kelly Doust titled, 'Minxy Vintage: How To Customise and Wear Vintage Clothing'. I think I'll treat myself to it next time I have some spare change - you can preorder it here.
