June / July


























- I'm on break from university so I went home to northern New South Wales to visit my family. Its so much warmer up there and there was lots of wildlife (including this cute koala). It was really nice to be around nature and my cat and dog.

- It's been really cold in Melbourne and I've been enjoying warm porridge for breakfast. My favourite way to have it is with honey mixed in and stewed apples, currants and cinnamon on top.

- I've had lots of time to draw in my sketchbook. It's good to use a sketchbook because theres no pressure to have a finished perfected artwork.

- I made my self a shopping bag out of lovely yellow fabric.

- It was cold and horrible and rainy today so I made some cupcakes.

- I made myself some new brooches to decorate my backpack.

- Being home made me miss having nature around me so I bought some new house plants. These are the latest additions. My favourite is the lavender because it reminds me of home.

- I saw Broken Circle Breakdown at the cinema and it was really good. It was so so sad but the music was amazing. My favourite song was this one.

- I've been making art for myself and other people, which I will post here soon.

-I've been enjoying The Bletchley Circle, on iview.

- This song is really lovely. It's a bit country but its nice to think of the beauty in Australian nature when theres so much ugliness happening in politics right now.

Sketchbook Sunday (Plus Sewing Adventures)







I thought I'd share a few pages of my sketchbook (some of these sketches might eventually turn into finished pictures)

Also I did a little bit of sewing recently, and I made a padded case for my external hard drive (the top one: It's got cats on it!) and a little pouch for all the cords and chargers I had floating around my drawer. I'm thinking about making a few more pouches/pencil cases to sell on etsy because I have all this nice fabric and I don't know what to do with it.
