Vote if you love me!

*Update*
My dress came in as a runner up! (It wasn't counted on the highest number of wow votes, but wows as a percentage of all votes.)
Anyhoo, winning wasn't the important part for me, truly. The wonderful comments and votes meant so much to me, thank you for warming my heart.

Or at least if you think my Paper Doll Dress is a WOW! :D
It's the last chance...
Deadline 15th February
(They ask you to register to be able to vote, sorry.)

Bless my mum, she's been clicking through all the entries on Stylemob to see who is winning so far. Apparently it's very close. Apparently I'm just in the lead *faints!* Bless my sister for her amazing pimpage skills *heart!*
I'm truly and utterly amazed by the response to my dress; I'm lost for words!

Meanwhile I've been doing some serious retail therapy...

Fog

The world is shrouded in fog, my mind is fog, my heart is fogged.
I've been reminiscing; this photograph is from the past.
Wonderful memories, hopes and dreams for the future, and things that will never be.

So to work. A fresh project to absorb my energy.
As yet untitled

Between the lines

It was time to create some new photographs. I've been wanting to do a series for a long time, but my clothing projects have always taken my energy. The concept has been growing, revolving in my brain. Finally a weekend with some sunlight arrived!
The final 14 have been edited down from over 100 photographs, with help and opinions from my special peeps (thank you!)

May I present to you... 'Between the lines'



I wanted to explore the symbolism of objects, and whether we think of them differently when they're combined with other objects. I used fabric to represent the lines I should look beyond, pinstripe and knit, each with their own connotations.
Each object has meanings for me; how I came by them, the memories. In combination they trigger different thoughts within me. All are personal. I love finding out how others interpret them too, each view individual and unique.
I hope you enjoy them!

Each photograph can be found in full on my flickr page, and will soon be available in my shop. :)

Yum, dinner!

I could eat gnocchi every night (with a different sauce each time) so I've been trying to cook it myself. I knew getting them just spot on, the perfect fluffiness with doughy goodness, might be tough; and my first try proved me right! Silly me didn't read the recipe properly and they were a sticky (but tasty) mess.
This time I've almost cracked it, by jove! :D Apart from being a bit big, they tasted yummy.



A couple of weeks ago we tried out a lemon curd recipe, and I'm boggling my brain to figure out what to do with a litre of the stuff! So for dessert we made lemon curd muffins. :D
We used a basic muffin recipe, left out the pecans and blueberries and added lemon zest to the mix. We layered the muffin mixture with a big glob of lemon curd in each of the paper cases.
Then fingers crossed!
It worked! Muffins with a gooey, lemony centre!
The house was very quiet whilst we tested them.

That is the end of the long story of dinner. Take care and happy munching!

p.s. Thank you to my parents for giving me all of Delia's 'How to cook' books :D

p.p.s Oh my gosh, colour photos! They looked odd in b&w, sadly. I guess for quick, very hungry photos these will do ;)
