High Fashion

I came across this when I was doing some designs for my netball club's end of season hoodies... Yes, we are pink and called the Flamingos.

A few photos from the weekend away with the netball Girls

Sewing Machine. Check.

So I have started sewing and have purchased my lovely sewing machine (above: Bernina, Bernette 82e)... Hooray! I really love it and I can't wait for Thursdays to come around. I sound like an old nanna, but hey. I'm currently making a skirt which is totally cute and has tulle underneath which, if you sew, you know is a pain! But the skirt has a zipper and a waist band and is pretty cool for a first project! I will post pics probably this week as I should be finished this coming Thursday.

We also had our netball Grand Finals which we lost, boo. We were totally the better team, not to mention the better looking team. hehe. We then had a few drinks over at Whitney's and played sing star to drown our sorrows.

SO... This post is definitely lacking internet connection. It's driving me crazy. SAVING now before I smash my screen.

Katrina and Sam's House Warming Partay

After winning both netball games (31-15, 21-14) it was time for my cousins House Warming Party in Emu Plains...

What a week

So far my house was invaded by tiny little children from Queensland and beyond - This being my sister and my nephews Isaac and Jack, then my brother and Danni with their entourage Tomi, Thomas, Ava and Jess came for a visit. My room was packed full 'o' fun stuff. Beads flying everywhere from the girls and Jack while the other 3 played the play station and hogged the bed.

I love it.

Then the weekend struck me down with a twisted/sprained ankle. Last few minutes of the final game before the Semi Finals. Not. Cool. Currently my RIGHT foot is swollen and blue. If it was my left I guess it would have been better as I would be able to drive - but no. That would be too easy. Ha!

I guess it will all be okay in the end... but until then, I will suck it up and love being waited on.

Where is my bell, I need a coffee.

In other news...
My mannequin arrived in the post today! I am so excited. Mum and I assembled her and she looks marvelous. I can't wait to get started. I am currently thinking of a name for her.

I have also been told that I am attending a wedding in 2 weeks (well the 8th August). One of Chris's friends has come back from Germany to get married so it should be fun! I was KIND OF hoping I would get to buy a new dress - but with little notice, my great budgeting (so far!) and this ankle - I might have to give it a miss and wear a dress I already own. Shock. Horror.

But then again, I might change my mind and blame the weather for me having to buy a new dress.

Date for Diary: Coloured Shoe Day

Netball. We won! So whats new?! hehe.
Nicole rolled her ankle though... damn netball injuries. Hopefully she can play this Saturday.
And it is official - we ARE in the Semi Finals. Go Team Flamingos!

It is officially 'Coloured Shoe Day' on the 1st of July. (Basically all you need to do is wear a pair of coloured shoes for the day, hehe.) Now watch it spread through the world! o_O

I am also going to be advertising in the September issue of VOGUE Australia. Hooray!
Keep an eye out for my advert :)

I will leave you with some Pon and Zi, just because, well, I love them. It reminds me of the line from Horton Hears a Who! when Katie (The fluffy thing, whatever she is) says: "In my world, everyone's a Pony and they eat Rainbows and poop butterflies...... aaahhhhhhhh".... Enjoy!




Love.
