Monday

I don't have any knitting to show you - taking photos in the dark evenings is not easy on my point and shoot. Nevertheless I did have a few things to tell you about this week.

Absolute fa-fa-favourite new zine:

PEPPERMINT - cool eco-fashion-craft Aussie publication. Lots of great interviews with designers, crafters, DIYers and loads of great businesses to peruse. I'm seriously considering a subscription!

Favourite websites for today:

Healthy Food Guide - awesome healthy recipes - I'm keen to make the Braised Lentils with Feta and Lemon salad. And I found an easy muesli recipe too!

Ecostiletto - what a great resource for freaks like me with all my do-good but impractical theories that I never seem to put in place enough to save the world while being a consumer. Like using a thermos mug instead of takeaway cup, taking the train to work and making my own muesli ...

deargolden - the stylie end of op-shopping - VINTAGE!!

New sewing project I'm thinking of:

Fabric hanger cover - for my old ball dresses, bridesmaid dresses and mother-in-laws hand-stitched, Japanese silk, antique cocktail dresses (she actually wore them in Japan in the 1950s - so gorgeous!).

It comes from this book - a naughty buy 6 months ago in the Dymocks closing down sale.


I think I might do some winding for the rest of the evening!

Dang! There is something oddly compelling about Dear Golden... makes me want to jump in my time machine and travel back to raid my mum's wardrobe...
