I obviously found C's vows totally hilarious. I'm not sure if this is my most or least favourite photo of myself.


My sister, C and my brother and I.


Our friends Carmen & Ben.





This will probably be my final picnic related post. It's been fun to share photos of this day. I hope you enjoyed them. All photo credit to Justin Aaron. My hairpiece is by Manzanita and I handmade my bouquet by stuffing wool inside a whisk and then attaching bits and pieces to the whisk with wire - hair accessories, crocheted flowers made by my friend, pom poms made by my Nanna.

...in August.


We applied for, and got accepted for, a super cute new rental. We move one week from today! A friend on Facebook said "this is what you'd look like in house form".


I saw this at uni and it made me smile.


I made a bunch of paper packs for Milkbar.




I started doing nightly collages.


We got some cheesy thank you postcards printed.


I was impressed by the coffee art at Cocobean.



I learnt how to do woodcuts and lino cuts.





My cats did some stuff.


I saw my favourite example of My Family stickers.


I tried taking photos while riding - don't try this at home.


I received this lovely card on a day when I was feeling down. Thank you kind stranger!



I saw this hideous cookie jar while thrifting.

I watched: Puberty Blues (new favourite) & The Secret World of Alex Mack.
I listened to: A bunch of good cheap cds ($2!) from the opshop and Myer.
I consumed: Belgian chocolate & hazelnut cookies.
I visited: Opshops, hung out with this lady and met this guy and lots of work and uni.
I wore: My favourite purple coat, lots.

This week the gear cable on my bike snapped and I had to ride it like a single-speed bike for a couple of days until I could take it to the shop to get fixed - I don't know how people ride single-speed and fixed gears! So much work! I've been meaning to take it in for a check up for ages but knew I'd be without a bike for some time - a week without my bike makes me feel so sad! I get bored walking and the buses don't really go where I need them to or at the right times. Watching the men at the bike shop wheeling my bike out of my line of sight made me feel anxious!

Next week we'll be packing like mad during semester break, trying to recruit people to help us move and setting up house. I love the nesting stage. I am looking forward to admiring the view of the city from our new verandah, putting my dirty dishes in the dishwasher and having a clothes line (simple pleasures) and laying back in the bath!

Today I listed some postcards for sale in my Etsy shop. They come in sets of 7 or you can buy individual postcards too. For the next week, just for blog readers, you can use the code: RAINBOW10 for 10% off :)

I mentioned to my Mum that having a 'paper moon' cut-out at the picnic might be a fun idea as a photo prop and she had my step dad cut out a moon shape for me. I painted it with white house paint and then painted the details with my step dad's airbrush. I had never airbrushed before and it was so much fun. I'd love to get my own - I still have a lot to learn - holding that thing takes skill!



On the day, I left a bunch of cameras on the table next to the moon and a sign that read 'take a Polaroid & add it to our photo album". By the end of the day the photo album was full of photos. It was one of those things about the day that I was really glad I did. It was so fun to go through them the next day. When I buy a new scanner I'll scan and upload a bunch of them.






We also blu-tacked a bunch of envelopes to the wall in the entry to the house with a sign that read 'Write us a note & pop it in an envelope'. I loved what each person wrote. I'm going to paste them into a scrap book.
