cross processing...





Since I have announced the temporary closing of the shop, I feel I am slowly coming back to myself again. It's amazing what the prospect of a break can do for ones sanity and health. 

Last night I indulged in a couple of hours of creative sewing, trying out a new dress style that I have secret plans for... It is photographed here unfinished and pinned on the mannequin. I have a gorgeous lady visiting this evening for a fitting. It is the muslin for a rather special dress, although I do think it has turned out pretty special in it's own right. 

The little person is still unwell and missed daycare again today, which has pushed me a little further behind in my orders, but I am still well within my 8 week turnaround so I am not going to let it stress me out. 

Mum and I took a few snaps of my outfit again today, just for fun. We still haven't mastered the back-drop so please excuse all of those pesky wires at the bottom of every photo. It seems that my winter uniform consists of a dress, tights, cardigan and my cowboy boots. It really doesn't fail and I always feel comfortable. The dress is the original Josephine that I made many moons ago: tights from country road: cardigan from kmart: boots from my mum!!!! Thanks mumma - I love you so much!

As promised I have already watched episode 1-8 of gossip girl & eaten too many licorice allsorts. I was in my PJ's by 3pm this afternoon and will probably be in bed by 8pm... Time to catch up on some down time.

Mwah!!

    1. Hello :) Neither are available in my etsy shop right now, but I plan to make them both available when I return from my break. If not as custom orders, then definitely as ready to ship... Thanks so much for your interest xoxoxo
