Duct Tape Magic

Oh you are definitely going the wrong way if you put on some tape on your clothes and pretended that other’s wouldn’t take notice or think that it can rescue a wardrobe disaster that’s about to unfold. I mean besides, whoever gets an idea that a duct tape can be fashionably necessary? Jane Aldridge, a [...]

C, you're full of charm.

Charming vines and ferns… I should really be getting some sleep.

of flowers and birds

It would’ve been better if they were fresh and alive. For now, I can settle for plastic and ceramic. Lamp, vase, flowers from IKEA. Birds and another potpourri mix from ADORE.

How to wear husband's T-shirt

“I believe in everything until it’s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it’s in your mind. Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as the here and now?” ~ John Lennon I can’t resist it, I had to put on my husband’s Mr. Lennon [...]

Now I thought about making an Alphabet botanical-biomorphic patterns (imaginary and real) kind of doodle project. I’m not sure what to do with them yet – [...]
