One thing that Tony and I have agreed on for our wedding is that we will have a photobooth. So since I am only working casual hours for the next few months, I have decided to make a bunch of props for fun times. Using a mixture of felt and paint and cardboard, then ta da! instant fantastic times.

In the last month I have been working around 3 days a week and it has been great. This week I am starting to get bored and sick of my own company at home. well angus and remo, our kittens are balls of fun, but they have spent the day sleeping.





Today was actually quite productive, i woke up, put our doona cover in the wash, i cleaned out the laundry and gave our kittens fresh litter which they both used immediately (even though they both cant fit in it, angus had his head and arms poking out the little door of it) I put a little wooden ladder in my bathroom to put my towels on, and re organised all of our tools outside, i hung our doona out and watered our lettuces and herbs. then i changed the position of some buttons on my coat because it is too big and i haven't even worn it yet, but i will be wearing it tomorrow night at the archie opening. then i listened to dr karl on jjj and drew up pictures of beards and glasses to start making props. made props by then it was 2pm and i had nothing left to do. made a sandwich, got into a smoking debate on facebook, got frankie magazine in the mail, wasted an hour reading through it. made some toast. now what to do? maybe i will make a fort with the cats with our dirty sheets because they LOVE playing in the sheets. who doesn't ?





Yesterday however I did almost nothing at all. I woke up to a message saying "modest mouse at splendour" from Tony. I got so excited I rang my friend Diana, got her voicemail, shouted for 5 minutes about modest mouse, hung up. got dressed, recieved a text from Diana saying she would be at my house soon and we would have coffee and breakfast. she came over we looked up the entire lineup for splendour, screamed and shouted "HOLY MACKEREL" and "OH MY GOODNESS" when i realised that the wild beasts were playing too. I contemplated running outside and rolling in the dirt i was so excited. We put the coffee on and had avocado and mustard seeds on toast for breakfast. then we talked about splendour some more. All we managed to do yesterday was have breakfast, walk to the post office, make lunch, and fix her birthday dress. By 5pm we had exhausted ourselves by doing nothing and went our separate ways.

today

today was the christening of the love of my life's niece. It was a wonderful day. I drank many glasses of wine which ended in an early afternoon nap. With daylight savings just finishing I woke up slightly disorientated thinking it was 10pm when in actual fact it was quarter past 7. Now it is actually 10pm and I am wide awake.

I am excited as I have sent through my measurements for my wedding dress to be made, I have made yes and no stamps for our rsvps and I have put together a book of all the ideas I like to keep everything together for all the many relatives who keep asking me how the planning is going. So as much as I hate planing at least I have something to show.

long time!


My newly organised wardrobe for all my felty goodness and business stuff.


I almost forgot I even had a blog, it's been so long since I've been on here. well yesterday I spent all day cleaning out my workspace to get it work able again (well not all day, I went for a walk in the morning with my friend diana, we then had breakfast of avocado on toast and the best coffee we have made yet, then shower, wash hair, diana went to work) I cleaned and grazed and then had no time to use my wonderfully organised room. so I guess lucky in a way I woke up with a swollen throat with ample time to do nothing except drink 'cough no more' tea (which was branded poison by work friends of mine that tried it once) and make ginger, lemon, carrot and apple juice.
So now I have so much space to use. I cleared an entire table and dedicated 4 shelves to wedding creations which I will be coming up with shortly. Above is the outcome of my cleaning, I wish I had before photos as it was a disgrace.
