a record of otherwise ordinary things in Gibraltar seen through the eyes of a newcomer; of things she finds beautiful; of things she appreciates..all because a Gibraltarian stole her heart

its beginning to look a lot like..
CHRISTMAS! so i found this amazing idea (from reading a ton of design blogs!) about how to make your own unique christmas decorations now that its definitely getting colder here and am feeling christmas-y all of a sudden (never mind that i am totally just skimming over ideas for halloween! not too much of a fan of fake blood and anything boo-ey). i like the fact that it just needs ordinary materials (like scrap fabrics!) that you probably have lying around the house.
now, i have never been a conformist ("but you are a Gemini!" shouts the small voice in my head) so i really dont want to look like everybody else (and that includes my house design, color scheme and therefore christmas decorations!) so i decided why not turqouise and poppy for a change? and voila! really, when you set your mind to something...(if you want to make your own wreath, just email me)
am also totally loving Amy Butler and her fabric designs and creations at the moment. so much so that i created a smaller version of her Bird :) (with scrap fabrics no less!)happy! the other frame btw is of a picture i found in an old magazine :) happy!
