for the first time in weeks i’ve had a weekend not ram packed with birthdays, family visits, rehearsals & desperate costume sourcing. After a trip out on Shirley & another trip to Ikea with Roh, i settled down to work on all the alterations i have left to pile up by my sewing machine, taking things in (with i much prefer to letting things out, it usually means i’m getting to be a bit of a skinny minny), changing zips and altering the sleeves on a top i bought from Hoss Intropia in Lanzerote the year before last.
I had never really liked the sleeves & this had always but me off wearing it, so i sewed some elastic around the sleeve, gathering in the excess fabric & boom there you are cute little puff sleeve on a cute folky cotton top…
also after letting the whole teen obession for the Twiglight books & film completely pass me by Roh has insisted i start reading the books before i see the film, i didn’t even wait to finish the book i am 3/4 of the way through, i am engrossed already, so don’t expect me to surface until i’ve finished them all!
Oh & one final mention, about a very sweet retro present i received from a special new friend of mine, he got it in Brighton after discovering my love of Polaroid…although as you may or may not know Polaroid have stopped making the instant camera film, so getting cartridges for my first camera & now this old school beauty is a tricky business….
Polaroid snaps always remind me of a very carefree time at college in Cornwall & at Uni in Kent with my dearest friends, never a bad photo was taken & the instantly printed pictures are like wonderful keepsake memories i keep in a box to be taken out to remind me that life is not always about responsibilities & hard work, but that it can be fun & very very silly too!
