This cat is basically me, reading a book on top of a pile of books.


Snow fox pendant


Stacked birds


Tiny foxes Caite got me, it's us as foxes!


Amazing box that I wanted but didn't have the funds for that day


Yet again, it's me!


This wasn't from the market, but I wanted to show off this book I got recently. It's a beautiful modern collector's edition of Andrew Lang's Blue Fairy Book. I obviously can't afford the originals so I was excited to find this!












I hope you enjoyed my market haul! What were your favourite items?

    The perfume bottle is lovely. Like both shawls and I think that belt may be 1980s. They were certainly popular then. I still own a couple myself though you can never be sure. Fashions come and go. The book is something special though.

Quilt Cover to Cottagecore Dress!

Image
This one has been a long time coming! I took a lot of breaks due to some issues and learned a lot along the way! It all began when I found a secondhand quilt cover with two really pretty patterns: I used my go-to pattern for the skirt. I went with the longer length skirt (view A and B) with the ruffle from the edge of the quilt cover on the bottom. The ruffle. I initially cut out a different bodice but I didn't like the fit. I d ecided to combine the two different fabrics into a Gunne Sax inspired dress with the bodice cut from remainders of both fabrics and a different bodice pattern.  The bodice pattern I chose. The new bodice pieces. After that I abandoned the project for quite some time. The centre bodice and side front pieces refused to line up right. I checked and made sure I had cut them out right and I had. I received advice that I needed to notch them and they finally lined up!  For the sleeves I had a limited amount of fabric so I had to go with quite small cap sleeves. G

Queensland Holiday Part 1: Ripley's Believe It or Not

Image
DAY 1: Sunday We arrived at Gold Coast Airport from Sydney early in the morning and got a bus to Surfer's Paradise. Once there we got an early check in at our hotel in the Q1 building at about 12.15, and went out to look around. We checked out the shops and beach. We had an ocean view from our room and could see and hear the waves. DAY 2: Monday Day two's weather was punctuated by rain showers but we were doing mostly indoor activities, so it wasn't a big problem. We started out at Ripley's which was just off the main street in Surfer's Paradise. Ripley's Believe it or Not Robert Ripley  ( February 22, 1890 – May 27, 1949)  began his career as a sportsman and cartoonist. He was fascinated by unusual events and objects, leading to his "Believe it or Not!" comic strips which became very popular. He enjoyed travelling the world to find oddities and opened his first museum in Chicago in 1933, then known as the Odditorium. In 1936 he was voted the most popu

Update

 Hi there, it's been a long time since I visited blog land!  Life has been really busy and I have not had any time to write or make videos! Blogging and commenting have fallen by the wayside of my schedule! Thanks to lovely Bracken for asking about my stories, I have written a couple of short stories but I haven't had time to edit them. I am thinking of self publishing a little short story collection but I haven't had time for that either! I have had a few adventures and done some crafts, hopefully I will get around to posting pictures eventually!
