Harmony Day Floral Crowns

It was recently Harmony Day and I made  some orange floral crowns for my daughter and I to wear to play group. I also found some other things to wear it with too.

My dress I bought off E-Bay, which I have an awesome Emerald City craft Outfit post idea for.

 And, a dress my friend gave me, which came from this amazing lady who makes dresses and has a very cool online business, which I will mention in another post when I find the perfect way to style this dress :)

Children's Books-Roger and Chi-Chi

I'm really excited to finally starting to bringing the ideas that I've had swirling around in my head for a very long time to life! I've always known I would be a writer and an author, but I've put my dreams on hold to raise my children and now that they are older, I am finding I have the time to finally do this!

I've got lots of short stories and idea in boxes that I am beginning to wade my way through and bring to life :)

Roger the Brave is based on a short story I wrote when  was about seventeen, and there are about five other short children's stories that I wrote at the same time.

I'd really given up trying to do much with them, and while I can totally draw myself, I lack the fundamentals of depth and proportion to create and recreate the pictures I want. I hope to one day illustrate my own work, but that requires practice study and learning how to use design programs, and I am not ready for that yet.

 But now I can see my stories coming to life through the work of talented illustrators, it makes my soul sing and I know I'm living my  purpose!

I am hoping to have these books ready for publishing within the next three months on Amazon Kindle. I'm not completely happy with the font, but these are just rough mock ups, and will get someone to help me with that. If it takes me longer to publish, that's ok, I'll just keep ploughing away at it, but I know that you should never give up on your dreams :)

Fly My Pretties...Fly!

 

A couple of outfits I've worn lately. I am either in tracksuit pants, and a comfy jumper (This is when I am most comfortable) or I am trying to be a cool rockabilly, hippy chick. I LOVE dressing up, and wearing make-up, but as a mum...it can be an effect.

So anyways, I have lots of cool outfit ideas for my blog, and will try and get some up soon, I have just been so busy with life and studying and sorting out my kids stuff and writing...you get the picture ;)

This is one of my absolute favourite dresses. It's such a  sweet pattern and it can be styled in so many different ways.

I am obsessed with Wizard of OZ and Alice in Wonderland jewellery.
