NEW THINGS:)

Ever since I scored a brand new knitting machine for a bargain at a local market,I've only used it for school projects(sigh!) and I've always wanted to make some nice scarves for my self,experiment with colours,techniques and all those wonderful things:)...

Anyway,I finally went down to YARN BARN and spent a good half hour falling in love with some fabulous wool/mercerised cotton blends.I ended up buying 600 grams of various colours and am now doing a lil'bit of research before I start knitting up some winter woollies:)

Will take picutures of my yarn collection in daylight tomorrow,but for now here is a hurried little illustration(as it is blogging RULE not to post without pictures!)

Seaside finds

I'm a bit delayed in posting this,but oh well,better late than never:) I got back from a week well spent at a friends beach house in rye..being near the sea was so claming and relaxing that part of my just wanted to keep floating away on those waves......

I also visited Sorrento when I was there and for those of you carfty-designy folk who live in Melbourne and have never visisted,YOU ARE MISSING OUT BIG TIME! There were the most beautiful homewares and interior deco shops with the most stunning displays and products.

I felt like I was in Design-Heaven...fresh seaside themes,rustic-earthy feel of design and deco. SIMPLY AWESOME....

Here is a little montage of my photographic memories:)ENjoy!
