First Post in FOREVER!!

Im totally excited because for the first time in AGES Blogger is working on my computer!

Ive been trying to post.........really I have!
I think it was something to do with me not accepting software updates on my computer but im all updated now and i can post photos all of a sudden again!

I actually havent been doing all that much crafting or art, work this time of year gets CRAZY for Visual Merchandisers, Xmas and all that.

Im taking time off from doing Xmas decorating this year, for those of you who dont know ive spent the last 4 years assisting a company installing Xmas decorations around Sydney, including the AWESOME Queen Victoria Building Tree and all the Cruise ships that dock at the Harbour. Its a full on job though, wierd late night/early morning finishing times and dirty glittery sweaty work but this year I can have a real Xmas break although i'll probably be making every xmas present possible to save money. The extra cash is always usefull tis time of year!

So ive been focussing on my regular work and having fun with fashion...............its been ages since I really worked in Fashion and followed trends so its fun to be doing it again.

Here are some pics from my Portfolio of work lately........having fun with Spring Fashion.....

What Makes My House a Home

Some things that make my house a home.................

Busy Busy Busy

My Goodness i've been busy lately, what with work, family and friends i've barely had time to craft or blog.
My birthday has come and gone, a huge few weeks at work which resulted in some great feedback about my merchandising from the Bigwigs, a trip to Byron Bay and some other exciting news which I cant share with you all yet!

For my birthday I received a new point and shoot camera. I have to take alot of photographs of my work for my portfolio so its had a workout so far. Along with 100's of Mannequin and Handbag display photos I manged to slip in some of my product shots for the very slowly coming along website ive had in mind for so long.

Here's just some rough shots to share........

Luna Park

I love my Hipstamatic................it makes everything look vintage and beautiful.

Not that Luna Park needs any help in that department, I LOVE Coney Island, the iconically australian artworks mixed with american cartoons and cool old school rides like the Barrel Run, the art deco, russian and 1930's mish mash of colour and faded antique glory!

I could spend an entire day in the Coney Island building just enjoying the artworks and amazing antique games and slot machine..........oh how i wish they all still worked!

The thing that I love most about this place is it still holds true to its original aesthetic. In these modern times, its SO nice to see hand painted signage and incredible Trompe L'oeil paintings covering entire exteriors and interiors of rides and buildings.
