wrap it up..

there is something so comforting about a being all wrapped up. last winter i practically lived in my witchery knitted poncho. it became the top part of my 'ultimate movie outfit'. perfect for keeping me warm and blocking my vision easily from the scary parts..

last night while i was roasting in bed and couldn't sleep(the wedding dress won over the aircon in my budget), my brain kept ticking over. why can't i sleep without something over the top of me? i couldn't sleep without knowing there was at least a sheet on me.(that's right, what's the point really?)  

being wrapped up gives me a sense of protection, like being in a mans arms, or as a child sleeping in your parents bed after a nightmare- security.

being exposed, even in my sleep, in front of no-one but my fiance-who is also asleep, and who can't see me because of the complete darkness, still troubles me so much..

sometimes i don't even understand myself.

these pictures gave me instant comfort, just at a glance.

i love the little things in life

peas in a pod..

todays post goes out to an amazing woman who has kept me grounded the last couple of years, one who has made me recognise how important my friends are and how much comfort a true friend can provide (if they know it or not)

thanks for being the 2nd pea in my pod..

i will miss your smiling pea face every day, and I promise to squeal with excitement in your memory when things really excite me

..like puppies for example..

love you forever

DIY Doiley project..

i recently stumbled across the best DIY christmas decorations...or perhaps just a fun decorative idea to make your house more interesting all year round. I found this on 'Pininterest'

To get started you will need balloons, doileys (preferably from your grandmas house), paint brushes and wall paper glue.

1. Blow up the Balloon & tie a knot at the end

2. Collect together your doileys and paint them with lots of wallpaper glue so they are soaked completely

3. Hang the balloon on a string and put the soaked lace on the balloon. They have to overlap each other so they will stick together and connect. Put on another coat of extra glue when they are all on the balloon, just to be sure

4. Pop the balloon when the glue is dry. if you like you can attach a nice looking cord and lamp fitting to turn into a lamp. Otherwise just hang on their own.

Either way these are a great little weekend project that will look amazing.

vampires on my mind..

ever since watching breaking dawn I have had anything vampire associated on my mind. Though from the first watch, I think the movie was totally overrated when factoring in the budget they had. but I'll hold onto that thought and watch it again...just in case

another one off the list..

while browsing for the perfect wedding invitations, i stumbled across these bad boys.. if only i had a spare $3,500!

if you just got a payrise like julia gillard, click here to purchase some of your own customized invites.

why does it feel like i'm getting more crossed off my 'i'll never be able to afford that' wedding list and not my 'actual wedding' list?

adult comfort..

how as an adult can you get that instant comfort like when you were a child? a kiss from mum made everything better when you fell. you had nightmares and upon awaking, would run into your mum and dads room and sleep the rest of the night with them in their bed.

why as an adult is it much harder to be truly comforted?
