Chicken Pot Pie

Yo peeps!!

Many, MANY things have been happening in my life of late hence my lack of posting. Totally forgotten where I left u with the updates but basically I got a life! Did some socialising, took some exercise, went for an x-ray (I'm not ill or having surgery, just needed to prove I don't have TB. Turns out I have an 'unremarkable' chest......you may interpret that any way you'd like).

I'm still beavering away at my freelance work but I'm not gonna post any of that today. Today I did something that I am far more proud of. I baked a pie!!

You must understand that I don't cook. I don't cook because cooking requires waiting and waiting requires patience and I don't have any. NONE!! I can't even wait for toast to pop. I mostly put off eating until I'm about to black out to avoid cooking anything. Obviously this sort of behaviour cannot be allowed to continue sooooooo I found this recipe and baked this pie!!!

   

The recipe called for celery but I swapped it out for broccoli and it was proper tasty! It's ok, I can say that, my partner in eating confirmed it :)

So that was my triumph of the day! I've had what I think is a fabulous idea for a Christmas craft project which I'm excited to make a start on tomorrow. So I should have more things to post soon!

Ciao for now x

Albino Spring 2012

Today I had every intention of uploading another piece of a scarf design that I finished last week. Sadly though, my computer is taking a million years to load the file and I'm impatient. I guess you'll just have to wait until a time comes when I'm either less impatient (good luck) or when my computer isn't acting like a total pile of crap.

Anyway, instead of scarves I figured I'd give u fashion. I didn't upload my inspiration from last week so here it is.

These are part of a Spring 2012 collection by Albino. If you want to see the rest of it (and u should, it's yummy) please click here and please see below my attempts at recreating these looks!

Thanks for reading!

More Gems & Birds

I've run out of song lyrics to alter for use as titles (I'm sure there are more but I'm too lazy to think of any). Anyway, back to the point, I finished my scarf!! I am SUPER proud of myself for the level of efficiency I've displayed this week *big grin.* Not only have I completed a scarf design in 4 days but I have also managed to get all my freelance work done! Yey me :-D

I'd like to retain some mystery for a little while but I can't bring myself to leave you with nothing to look at so here's a sneak preview!  

Thanks for reading!

If I Gave You Diamonds and Birds

I did lots of colouring today and made quite a bit of progress :) Please see below for visual confirmation of said progress.

I did make a start on the actual scarf itself but I'm not quite ready to reveal that just yet ;)
Watch this space.............

Diamonds are a Bird's Best Friend

I finally had some spare time this weekend so I decided to spend at least some of it drawing (the rest of my time, in case you're wondering was spent at the beach) ;)

Anyway, I'm hoping these drawings will become part of a new scarf I'm designing. Now I know this is not the first time I've attempted to seduce you with talk of new scarf designs. And no, those designs never quite came to fruition, and for that deception I am truly sorry. But this time it's different! 

I'm preparing for a showcase next month (details to follow later) to display my scarves. So with this is mind it only seems right that I should include at least one new addition to my collection.

I'll have to update sooner rather than later since I don't have much time to prepare so keep your eyes peeled!! 

Summer Animals

I've been neglecting my blog of late. I'd like to say it's been because I've been super busy with work and deadlines etc. but that would not be entirely true!! Mostly I've been busy entertaining a friend who came to visit me in Barbados. You may remember her from one of my previous posts (she's the one who loves herself ;)) Now I don't want you thinking I'm a complete bum so I have compiled some examples of my work for your viewing pleasure.

 
So, yea, back to animal prints! It's all Missoni's fault really. She went and designed a bunch of brightly coloured animal prints for Spring/Summer 2012. I should probably not complain, I actually quite enjoyed putting these together. :)

This week I'm supposed to be creating a set of winter designs that people would wear on vacation. I did ask if that wasn't in fact the same thing as a design for summer (what with said winter designs being brightly coloured) but I was informed that there is apparently a difference. I was not informed what this difference is but I was left to look for inspiration all day. Soooooo here is what a winter vacation to a sunny destination looks like to me........

I love this palette!! Please take a look at the complete collections on Style.com they are gorgeous! Click here for Burberry Prorsum and here for Alberta Ferretti.

Carlos Miele

Blogger is acting strangely this evening. It published a blank post which it now won't let me delete so instead of leaving a contentless post on my blog I'm going to write something.........even though I hadn't planned on updating today. Um......ok, news.......I'm going back to Barbados tomorrow! yipeeeeeee!!!!

I may have more to report later in the week but until then I'm gonna be a bit cheeky and post something I probably shouldn't.

Details of my Carlos Miele inspired dresses! :)
