the next six weeks!

o golly. it's the last week of school tomorrow!

it is also only 8 sleeps until i head out of the country. 

i am heading to europe this year for christmas. it is very exciting. hopefully a white christmas. i will be spending time with friends and family that i have not seen in a very long time. i will also be spending a lot of time at christmas markets. 

so for the next 6 weeks i'm out of action on felt and facebook- sorry about it. however i do promise photos and tales once i am back. i cannot wait to see a whole load of design and christmasness that we here in nz don't get to see. a very exciting time. 

before i do head out here is a wee look at the weeks been. 

carrot cake. 

organisation station.

marketing in mahia.

christmas present!

back on the blogging bandwagon!

o hello there!

rather sorry for all this silence. a lot has been going on. a lot of really rad things. my class of cool little people take a lot of my time- but this is time i willingly give to them because they're the coolest wee cats. i also have a really exciting overseas stint planned for this christmas- will keep you updated with that. and i also plan on attending my first ever real life market day right here in the beautiful mahia in a couple of weekends! (last minute attempts to make some spending money for the aforementioned overseas stint). 

i keep having all these creative ideas and dreams and just not enough time to get them sorted... so i've decided to create a pinterest page to link with this blog and my facebook page. 
that way you can see all the things i'm thinking about. bear with me while i add more pins... sometimes i have to limit myself on pinterest: it seems to absorb a lot of my time.

so have a looksie and hopefully this will keep you in the loop: i shall be blogging again before i disappear for christmas so keep your eyes peeled!

d.i.y

exciting week.

it has been a very busy week. one filled with a cold. and with some very exciting news. i gained a new job. so beginning next term i have my own class of little ones. 

this is very exciting for me, and a lot of the weekend has been spent looking at all the creative things i can adorn a classroom with. 

i am shocking at beginning something crafty... and then finding something else crafty... and forgetting the first project. man of the house even found a few things in a wardrobe the other day that i still have not finished. so projects i begin need to be finished within the same day (ha or hour) otherwise they are overtaken by the next thing.

today i was hooked in by pom pom rugs. how cool do these look:

accent rug

patchwork rug

diy pom poms.

pom poms everywhere.

i think it's wisest that i begin something like this in the holidays when time is available, and perhaps a few spare hands too. hopefully will get a few more things up on felt soon for you all too. 

forgetting things.

gosh i keep forgetting to post blogs.

luckily i remembered this week... however i feel this should possibly be last weeks post?

i've been doing a little bit more photography lately. once i finished my photographic design degree i left my camera well alone. instagram seems to have reignited some photo love.

i have been enjoying getting a few snaps in so treated myself to a nifty wee fuji instax. the film for this bad boy is rather expensy so it makes you focus on getting the exact snap you are after.

i think it's pretty important these days to slow down and look at things properly every now and then. cheers little fuji for helping out. (also these things come in the cutest colours).

something good.

gisborne is a lovely place. i have found something that makes it even better. the family company. 

this shop is gorgeous. you enter and then wish to take the whole contents home. 

i was very fortunate to be able to make a trip in during the long weekend and managed to purchase a couple of items. one to hold a succulent, the other the eggs. 

also i haven't ever done this before- but another couple of things that are good at the moment are these songs. i adore them. and dance to them secretly. 

oh honey- be okay

alex & sierra- scarecrow

enjoy your short week.

a few of my favorite things

i rather enjoy instagram. 

it makes my pictures look pretty and also gives me a chance to show my friends that i do do things. 
my animals tend to be a large part of my instagram- but they don't mind. 

i thought i might share with you some things of my own that i find beautiful:

your shopping cart is full.

i think i have already confessed my adoration for shopping online to you all before?

well it hasn't gone anywhere. sometimes i trick myself and assure myself that really i'm saving money as i only go online to shop when i need something....ha pity i still go to town to shop too. 

there is something way too exciting about receiving a parcel in the mail. best part- i get home from the mail before man of the house gets home from work... 

if i were to navigate towards online shopping right now this is where i would head.
