"Every day brings a chance to live free of regret"

Some pictures from our day out in Melbourne. We spent the day hanging out, doing a photo walk and out for dinner in Lygon St for Em's birthday. The restaurant left a lot to be desired, but we still had an awesome time. Happy Birthday Em.

Can you guess which film I am watching (... read sobbing my eyes out from before the opening credits finish)

I am Sam is one of my favourite movies of all time, but I sob my way through it every time.

Some of my favourite quotes from the movie (taken from IMDB) :

Lucy: [being observed] I want no other daddy but you.

[turns to the glass]
Lucy: [shouts] Did you hear that? I said I didn't want any other daddy but him. Why don't you write that down?

Lucy: Why are men bald?
Sam: Sometimes they're bald because their head is shiny and they don't have hair on it. So their head is just more of their face.

"...and each will smile at the other’s welcome"

It has been too long. Far too long! So I sincerely apologise and promise to be a good girl this year ^__^

Some photos to share. No, not with my new fancy digital SLR, but with my phone (and a fancy widget app called retro camera) LOVE ^__^

Tell me what you think.

Deadline

The deadline has been met!

Woohoo.. I have now officially finished my early 1880's natural form outfit. I will be wearing it tomorrow and taking photos.

Now to rest my poor hands and then give my sewing machine some much needed TLC. Back soon with pics :)

Tissot's Bridesmaid

Well I am continuing my sewing frenzy. I received my bodice pattern last night and am currently working on perfecting my toile (mock-up).

I was inspired by this Tissot painting "Bridesmaid" and feel my dress has a similar feel, though without the many ruffles on the skirt.. Hmm whether to add a lace ruffle to the neckline and bows on the cuffs? At the moment my dress is very simple, no embellishments. Any suggestions or thoughts?
