I have been busy....

After making the paper bag party bags (which I need to show you... another time) I thought how nice it would be to have fabric ones!

Hmmm... I had the piece of material in mind... a long time ago I discovered the frill from a vintage bed cover in a dear little op shop in Yamba. Half of it was used to cover my wooden ironing board (also an op shop find) and the other half has been sitting there waiting for the perfect project.

Voila! Gorgeous party bags!

I would love to go to a party and get a loot bag that is keepable, reusable AND gorgeous!

I found this beautiful blog...  Lissy Lou and the 2 Little Boys

and this:

which is a great way to keep a track of what you like... it's amazing. 

I thought I liked a wide variety of things, 

but very quickly I noticed that there is a theme in what I like...

anyway...

I always seem to find the ones offshore... 

far away in other lands... 

and I fall in love with them

and I daydream 

and I wissssshhhhh ...

and I waste time surfing, surfing, surfing... 

and I think,

if only I had a girl, 

I could have fluff
and pink and flowers 

and dreamy white rooms with ribbons 

and teddy bears who watch the world go by
through wood framed windows... 

(sigh)

but alas I have an army of boys in my life 

and so happy I am here where I am...

but 
still determined to get my fill of pink fluff and blurred dreamy edges 

one way or another through the virtual world of another's eyes.

But seriously, LissyLou is lovely. 

I love it. 

It's pretty and quirky and within the first few posts it 

got me with this:

There is a fine line between

'hobby' and 'mental illness'.
