I bought this Peter-Pan collared shirt after work one night this week at the 24hr Kmart beside my work. I don't know why the Kmart is 24 hours, but I won't complain because I am often there at an odd hour. I have had this hat over 5 years, but never worn it because I always felt like I wasn't a 'hat person'. I'm still not sure if I am one, but I was okay with it today. My mum gave me the vintage hat pin for Christmas last year and I finally had a hat to wear it in. I was worried it would stab me at some point during the day. Today I hung out with my lovely BFF Sara and her daughter Ginger and then C and I went to see Tin Tin at the movies. I had a really good day, I hope you did too.

For a long while I've been meaning to attempt some of the things on Keri Smith's 100 Ideas list. My plan is to tick one idea off the list each week in 2012. The ideas are pretty simple, most are 5 minute creative endeavours. There are some ideas that aren't as up my alley as others, but if I can finish 50 by the end of the year I think I'll be pretty happy with that. I am hoping that by doing these simple creative tasks, it will inspire me to think of more of my own, be more observant, make more things, be spontaneous. I'll be crossing things off the list in no particular order (just to make it more free) and posting each Sunday.

Would you like to join in?

This week I chose: Make a meal based on a colour theme.


+ V, apple, snow peas, dolmades, grapes, sour lolly bells, olives, pesto on a biscuit, avocado, kiwi fruit & baby spinach.

Green foods are my favourite, closely followed by red.

What would you get up to?

Ps. When I asked C what he'd do if he could time travel to the 1950s he said, "Try to find a way back?". Boring man!

I've been trying to fill at least two pages per day in my Sketchbook Project book lately. These are some recent pages. I really enjoy collage, but I only have a couple of magazines to cut up. I refuse to buy them new just to cut them up and I won't let myself cut up my Frankie collection. A visit to my local opshop yesterday didn't yield any magazines either! Must find some!
