colours of nepal...

weekend crafting...

sewing for markets.
sewing for presents.
sewing for local shops.

it was a good weekend.

at the op shop...

like laura, i was back at the op shops the day after i arrived home from nepal. i don't even think i had done a load of washing before i headed off to see what treasures were awaiting me! i clearly have my priorities right :)

here are a few of the goodies i have picked up in the week since i have been back...
*the loveliest typewriter that still works... eek! i have been looking for a vintage typewriter throughout the 10 or so years i have been thrifting and have never seemed to have any luck so you can imagine my delight when i stumbled across this one for only $8!
*a few vintage sheets for quilting, crafting and swapping!
*lovely woolen blankets!

Thanks for all your lovely comments on my last post... more Nepal photos to come but I will stagger them with regular posting so you don't get too overwhelmed!

Have a GREAT day!

faces of nepal...

regular posting will resume shortly. for now i just need some time to grieve the most wonderful few weeks of my life... does anyone else know the feeling? just me?

**photos are of some of the most awesome kiddies that we got to teach and work with and a few of the locals we were lucky enough to meet and photograph

love at first sight...

i went to nepal... and i fell in love.
seriously.
it is exactly what my life has been missing.
the people, the smells, the colours, the joy, the smiles.

more to come... (plus a little tour of my newly cleaned craft room!! yay!)

exciting news

...my tomatoes have started to ripen!!!! woohoo!!

i know that when you saw the title of this post tomato news is probably not what you were thinking you would find here. but these little guys have been sitting on my tomato plant for MONTHS! i was about a week away from ripping it out and giving up. i had spent some serious time on google searching for 'how long does it take tomatoes to ripen' which did not ease my troubles at all (the standard answer was a few weeks). however, they are finally ripening and they are delicious. yum yum yum!

four happy things on (a day that is close to) friday... an op shop edition

just a few treasures that i have picked up at the op shops this week!
have a lovely weekend xx
