number eleven.

Today's findings:
I went to one of my current favourite opshops today and picked up a whole heap of pillow cases, doona covers and doilies for $20, I already have some plans in the work however need to get some more gear first. So in the mean time I'm loving just looking at some of the beautiful retro patterns!





I especially love this quilted retro tablecloth I got, its covered in these hexagons and all of the material used is just gorgeous! I dont know if I can cut it up to make all the things I want to make!I'm also still slowly making my granny square blanket, I've just run out of wool so need to get some more, however here are a couple of progress pictures. Sorry about the bad quality, I'm craving a better camera however I have NO funds right now!



This week has been spent rehearsing and going to therapy, I also got a referral to see a psychologist and hopefully that'll help with my current situation. I got my uni results and I did really well especially after missing six weeks of class being ill. I got a distinction for directing and a High distinction of 'writing of performance', this was awesome, especially as the percentage was really high, I got 92, which is my second highest mark. I know this is good but I'm still struggling to feel good about it, to acknowledge my achievements, I dont know, it's strange.

Uni starts back next week, the first four weeks are going to be extremely busy but after that it will hopefully settle down with Lysistrata being over, I'm feeling good about uni starting.

I've been reading and looking at some of the most amazing blogs, they're stunning, and very inspiring.

That's all for now, Peace Out.

  1. Oh what an interesting collection. Cant wait to see what you do with them. Pretty lacy doileys have been banned from my home (my boyfriends mum puts them on or under everything)

  2. haha, yes I'm still deciding exactly what to do with everything! I love doileys, my mum hasnt seen them yet...so I'm unsure of what she'll do when she does see them!

  3. hey, nice blog! I have never seen doileys in charity shops here in scotland, oddly enough, but always thought they would make great crafting materials!

  4. Hey!
    I love your blog! I dont see doileys too often but I just love their intricacy and am a firm believer in their comeback into the crafting world, I just made a bag with doileys on it and will be uploading pics soon!
