Tiny Space

Photobucket

My precious Yasmin took me on an adventure yesterday morning to Tiny Space on Cross St. A SERIOUSLY delicious new store filled with hand picked goodies and vintage pieces.

LOVE the merchandising - little wooden pegs clip stamped price tags to everything from tea cups to necklaces to suitcases. CROSS ST is undergoing some major renovations at the moment... More on the big name stores as they move in.

Take a gander around their website *:-)

A new world

Dearest friends,

I'm still processing Lee McQueen's death so please know I'm unsure how to post today and please forgive my absense yesterday.

*The next few lines are a bit disjointed but I feel there is some beauty in this.

As a student I studied his journey, his collections and the development of his style that sat outside the realm of reinvention.

His work, life and attitude were the highest standard I had for my own baby dreams and ambitions. Knowing how hard he worked to achieve such greatness will continue to be the benchmark for my career.

I have had beautiful conversations with a friends this weekend about the wonder of creativity and how often this genuis comes with a price. I do not say this to complain but rather rejoice in the wonder and insight this gifting brings.

As a creative community may we always persue greatness.

And may our dear Lee rest in peace.

RIP McQueen

Alexander McQueen had died. I am in shock.


Read the NZ Herald article here. and the note on his site here.

I dont think I'll talk to my workmate today who said "I dont even know who that is". Maybe I'll never talk to him again.

Gettng crafty...

Photobucket

My lovely Emma came home this evening with a bag of goodness from Trelise Cooper - a bag of fabric scraps for $5!

Photobucket

After she picked out some wee treasures to recycle I killed half an hour by attempting to crochet the REAL scraps... and I'm kind of excited about this idea of transforming rags into cloth!

Photobucket

I think this wee square will grow into a rug or a throw... work in progress. I love how easy crochet is. I find its an easier "on the go" project than knitting. No I've-dropped-a-stitch-drama.

Photobucket

Learn to crochet here *:-)
