I wore this to school. I felt super pretty.
I then wore it out with white doc martens and a red beret. I went to a club called Sugar with my neighbour Lachlan. He lent me an amazing fur stole and a gorgeous leather satchel. I was very "revolution". I admit I don't quite know what that means but it sure sounds cool! Lachlan is also teaching himself upholstery and we are going to work together to reupholster a 60s chaise for me to have in my house. So excited.

I baked Pie-pops! Which I initially saw on one of my favourite Tumblrs "Lovely Homes", followed the recipe from Bakerella and immensely enjoyed the original on Luxirare.

Pie filling can was stabbed open with a butter knife, as I am yet to attain a can opener.
I also wholeheartedly agree with all the people I've read saying the pastry to filling ratio is off. They look beyond cute, but blearg!

Being sick with a cold is creatively stifling, but I endeavour to make healthy dinner and do nice things. I've been spending time snuggled up by the heater watching Amélie and Nausicäa and thinking about decorating.

I am in dire need of fixing my sleep patterns, but I feel the need to vacuum at such odd hours. I'm sure I'll get around to it… sleeping that is...

Making and Doing Things

I made costumes for myself and some friends for a party we went to.
Even incomplete I think they're pretty cool.

And even cooler complete…

WHO HAS NOT BEEN PAINTING MY ROSES RED?!


I also, apparently, make a fantastic drag queen. I'm FABULOUS, darling.


(Got a wardrobe)

(Filled it)

Not a wardrobe per se… but it shall act as mine - I like being able to see my things. Unless I can hide them away in interesting places.

For example:
A boring kettle box…

became a super cute Doctor Box!
Hello… I'm Doctor Box...


I'm sure there is a better term than Doctor Box… especially since it's pretty much just band-aids and painkillers and No Doz… but… Doctor Box.

Sofie also sent me home with a care package - a new temporary phone (it's pink!) and a collection of food things from their pantry. I ate leftover steak as well. I'm not normally a fan of steak but this was beyond delicious. I think I need to move into Sofie's house.


Mister Pants thinks otherwise.

I've been sick. How awful. Something something amoxycillin something allergy blah. Fixed with steroids and antihistamines and no more amoxycillin!

Kitties make everything better though.

George eats aerosol cream.

Loaf cat! (or Mister Pants if you want to get technical)

I went to Sofie's to scam internets and foods and company and kitties. I am allowed to get a kitten of my own at some point, but don't yet consider myself responsible or well funded enough for that.

I'm finding my lack of the internet in my home really isolating. I miss the easy, fast contact I have with my friends, and the rapid supply of images and entertainment I get from tumblr. Finding plenty of time to do other things though, dishes, for instance. Going to bed early is much more plausible too. Maybe being offline is good for me.

I make things.

I go places.

I wear pyjamas a lot (my mum bought me these when I was sick)


Oh, progress - I apparently now weigh in at 97.4 OMGMARGINALIMPROVEMENT
