a charlie and lola birthday party is my favourite and my best

2012-01-30T11:26:00.004+08:00

a little celebration for leena's birthday that i helped create.

ultimate party

2012-01-27T16:12:00.005+08:00

so my "big" birthday is coming up in a month and a half or something crazy like that!

my dream is to have a great bash.

but between job finding and little projects and adjusting to my new life again and limited funds, i'm not sure i can make it happen.

but here is my dream party ideas anyway // hay bale seats // delicious food // a thousand pink balloons // lots of dancing // cheese cake // party lighting.

are you sunburnt?

2012-01-27T11:50:00.004+08:00

happy belated australia day.

i had a wonderful day with bbq breakfast at the beach, lots of swimming, and to top the night off, sitting on the roof watching the fireworks and a lightning storm.

with this amazingly hot (40°C+) weather we have been having in perth, some of us (not me thankfully) have been getting a little too much sun.

how cute and informative is this sweet illustration.

so here's a little help my sunburnt friends.

my reading list 1: coffee table books

2012-01-23T20:26:00.005+08:00

my idea of the kind of books to have lying around on the table are a variety of creativity, beauty and humour.

24. update my design portfolio [done]

yay!

what a loooooooong process.

job hunt, job hunt, job hunt.

27. detox [done]

i count my detox as an 9 day long natural foods only thing.

no alcohol, no sugar, no preservatives, no processed food, heaps of water etc.

did make me feel a whole lot healthier.

got to try it again.

or just consistently eat really well.

2012-01-05T10:53:00.004+08:00

blackfield by artist zadok ben david.

an installation using 12,000 cut steel botanical specimens modeled on old textbook illustrations.

at first the plants appear completely black, but when viewed from the opposite side, a field of black turns into a wall of colour.

stunning!

my aunty christine was my style icon when i was a kid.

she was (still is) arty and interesting and I wanted to be as stylish as her.

visiting her (and her gorgeous house) the other day was no exception.

her space is filled with gorgeous details, tiny patterned tiles from spain, old photos of oma, beautiful textures, pottery she made in her uni days, jars of art supplies and on and on...

walking around and admiring her space made me feel like that child again, and as always, I am beautifully inspired.

1. holiday in europe [done]

best experience of my life!

when i first wrote this list, i envisioned this being the toughest task to complete.

so thankful i got the chance to do it!

7. organise my closet [done]

admittedly my hand was forced on this one.

moving does that.

so i guess it is organised in the way that i at least sorted everything out, got rid of stuff i didn't wear anymore and donated it to the salvos.

my general rule of thumb was, if i hadn't worn it in the last year i didn't keep it.

also travelling around europe for 6 weeks with a handful of clothes makes you realise how little you do actually need.

plus now i have been living the last 5 or so weeks with just the suitcase full of clothes i brought over to tasmania.

ok... i admit i do miss my "full" closet, so i go "shopping" in my sisters'.

22. attend a symphony orchestra concert [done]

i went to the tso with my girlfriends the other week.

it was amazing.

the cello solo from alban gerhardt was out of this world.

if you ever get a chance to see him live, DO!

the concert was of course followed up with a little walk down the road for a late dessert at pierre's.

29. create a papercut artwork [done]

a surprisingly calming task.

it took me a while, but i love the idea of creating something with just a knife and a piece of paper.

2011-08-21T21:18:00.008+08:00

as you may have guessed, all i did in italy was eat.

ok, not all the time, but it was a lot about the food and a few drinks of course.

but italy was just incredible.

so much to see, so much culture, so much history.

i also made some great friends.

boating around the island of capri and swimming though the green grotto in the mediterranean had to be a highlight.

and venice was amazing... and hiking through the cinque terre... and pompeii... and so so much more.

what an experience!

2011-08-18T16:21:00.008+08:00

experiencing the ‘mother country’ – the netherlands – was one of the best times of my life.

strange and unexpected but true.

the greatest blessing was becoming wonderful friends with my best friend’s little sister leah.

two aussie girls in holland makes for some very amusing moments.

i have never felt so relaxed or spent so much time laughing.

plus there was the AMAZING food, great new friends, breathtaking scenery, long bike rides, scootering adventures, daylight til 11pm, dancing, swimming, running, guitar playing, boat riding, caravan living and so, so, so much more.

i keep being asked why i didn’t travel more in those three weeks, seeing that countries like germany and france are on holland’s doorstep, but the experience i was having far outweighed the desire for travelling alone and sightseeing.

i do believe the travel bug has bitten me, so i’m definately going back to that part of the world again!

my italian adventures will be coming soon...

the BEST combination going around

one of my favourite activities in holland was to grab to push bike and just ride!

i absolutely loved just taking off down the little dutch country lanes and getting myself 'lost'.

plus it probably kept me from gaining 10kg from all the delicious dutch delights.

i could eat croquettes all day!

the traveller returns

hoi! ciao!

i'm back from my wonderful european adventure.

ok, truthfully i've been back for a few jet-lagged days already.

struggling with staying awake at appropriate times, let alone doing much.

but for you dears, i've found some time and energy to edit some photos to give you a tiny taste of the delights i experienced in holland and italy.

i'll post more on my trip in the next few weeks.

photos from top: little friesland clogs, my newest-most-darling-friend leah, canals in giethoorn, yours truly, the colosseum in rome at night, rose relaxing on the boat in capri, beautiful old town of assisi, ancient statue in florence.

i'm going... to europe!

2011-06-27T21:43:00.007+08:00

so goodbye for now lovelies.

i fly out in two days for five (and a bit) weeks of travel.

in to amsterdam and out of rome, and who knows where in between.

my little blog may be a bit silent for this time.

but i'll be full of stories, pictures and inspiration when i return.

i'm so excited!

wish me luck.

i'm a little teapot

2011-06-21T15:10:00.004+08:00

i have a slight obsession with teapots.

so i thought my little collection deserved a post all of their own.

my favourite is the first little orange teapot from my darling friend sj (found it at a garage sale years ago).

11. watch breakfast in tiffany's [done]

i watched the gorgeous visual feast that is breakfast at tiffany's.

it's glamorous and humorous and got me hooked on audrey hepburn movies now.

23. buy a pair of real ugg boots come winter time [done]

so i finally got some ugg boots.

the 'proper' kind.

not red – you have to order them.

but black'll do.

so warm and comfortable.

my feet are very happy.

26. visit the planetarium [done]

and finally, I took (dragged) jamie along with me to the planetarium yesterday.

i was so excited, possibly to the point of embarrassing for my poor little brother.

it brings back all the magic and amazement i felt as a kid.

who wants to go with me again?

2 // chilled, chilled, chilled water with lemon.

so refreshing!

3 // gin and tonic.

with only the best… hendrick's of course.

plus a sliver of cucumber floating on the top.

my mummy is such a clever lady

2011-06-08T18:02:00.002+08:00

as you could probably figure out, my mum is over for a visit.

(+ my little brother).

she was showing me her latest craft project photos and i just had to share these two…

a beautiful handmade baby blanket.

made out of old woollen knits from the op shop.

and a bright red hand knitted cushion cover.

now she's knitting me one!

i'll admit i'm knitting too now – just a simple scarf.

i hope it turns out to be a scarf, rather than a scrap of messy wool.

my mummy is such a clever lady.
