Let's go sailing

Lets go sailing.

Let's get a bite to eat.

Let's talk about movies.

Let's go to sleep.

Oh sweet valentine!

I love this journal. Its sweet and says "I love you" and it has a little heart on the inside to prove it. The perfect gift for a sweet valentine! Let me know if you want to place an order!

Journal making and beachy times

These past 3 weeks I've been busy with my biggest journal order to date. I'm finally finished now and have come up with revolutionary new binding methods. I went to the beach on supermoon- night and it was cool. There was smoke in the air because of a fire in the area and it gave the evening sky a beautiful orangey glow as the sun was setting.

Before and After: Chest of Drawers

I bought this chest of drawers a few months ago and finally got around to giving it a makeover. I drew inspiration from the beautiful pieces sold by Vamp Furniture as well as Saks Corner, both in Woodstock, Cape Town. The knobs on the drawers are from Poetry.

It took a lot of hard work that included sanding, painting, glueing and clamping, but I must say, I am very happy with the end result. I also learned a lot and have a good tip: if the drawers run on timber, rub a candle over the pieces on the sides of each drawer as well as on the parts that enable the them to slide. It really works wonders!

Above is a sketch of my friend Buntu... he saw some of the drawings and paintings I did as a kid and said that he will only be able to see if I can draw if I do a portrait of him. I procrastinated but finally finished it. I am yet to give it to him and hear what he has to say!

Pretty Patterns

I bought these beautifull 50's, 60's and 70's dress patterns a while ago for next to nothing... in total they cost me R8,50! Now I just need someone who can make them for me... any takers? :)
