Inspired by Georgia Chapman

I had a moment of inspiration yesterday after reading an article in the age about textile designer and VIXEN proprietor Georgia Chapman. I had been thinking about artwork to put above the piano in the dining room, and suddenly it came to me! So, I got out a pencil, sketched out this beautiful flower in my sketch book and then redrew it on the wall. Add some black acrylic paint and a very steady hand (amazingly) and I ended up with this:

I'm enjoying looking at it and am now thinking about what other things I can transpose it on to!

Love and Peace

Metallic Blue Cat print on pants.

Have finally managed to finish these pants that have been sitting around waiting for me to change my overlocker thread to black. Sometimes, you just keep telling yourself, I'll just finish this white thread job, before I change over... and then it finally happens! They look pretty cute and I think I might try making some to sell at the market - especially now I've changed the overlocker thread. May as well make the most of it! If anyone is interested in some, let me know.

I have also made bibs and cut-out more blackbird dresses today, so I'm feeling productive. However, I am also feeling sick from all the chocolate I've eaten. I think I'm going to fall in to a depressed heap any second. The gym was loving me last week... but this week I just want to become a couch potato, and Lindt chocolate rabbits aren't helping!

Happy Easter everyone, whether you be a believer or not. As one of my atheist friends stated yesterday, 'How can you fail to follow anything that involves a giant invisible bunny delivery chocolate eggs!'. Profound! Thanks for that one Rob, it did make me laugh!

We'll be at the front door.. so come and say hello!!!!
