Pinterest

I was recently told about this site by my friend Mazzy and I have to say that I am hooked!!

Pinterest is an online pinboard that allows you to store all the links and images of things that you find online and share them with your fellow pinners.

Its such a cool way for me to keep a track of all the recipes that I like, my sewing inspiration, craft ideas and general inspiration and all things lovely.

Quite ironic really as I have just started using my physical pinboard at home - oh well this completes the pie.

So if you want to see some of the things that are inspiring me now or ideas for my next craft project head on over to http://pinterest.com/nickersc/

Till next time.

Going in for the chop

I am currently deliberating whether to go in for the chop - my hair that is!

I have had long hair since I left uni as its just so easy to tie up out of the way for sport, but now that the hockey season is over I have the urge to chop it!!

Have had a bob before and a fringe and would like to combine the two. Soooo nervous as my hair is like my security blanket. But I am a big girl and I think I can handle it and really think I need a more professional look for work other than the pony tail (I'm not 5 anymore lol).

This is what I was pondering.....

Beautiful Heidi Klume with a side swept bang

Love the blunt fringe and layers on Paula Abdul

Love the funky choppy layers (but alas my hair is not that thick boo)

Let me know what you think.

Will have to post some pics of the final result next week - wish me luck.

Till next time.

Kutie Pie

First of all I have not broken my shopping pledge, so hear me out....

I couldn't resist. When the Westfeild email hit my inbox I was soooooo excited, I knew I just had to get my hands on one.  So I bought one then and there.

Again the shopping pledge is for clothing only and does not extend to accessories and bags! Hehe so here is my purchase.

Kardashian Kollection Push lock Blue and Cream bag!!!

Cannot wait for this puppy to hit my desk at work - I will be checking my pidgeon hole all week (not that it would fit in a pidgeon hole but you get the idea).

Let me know what you think :)

Till next time.

Slack Sally

First of all I think I deserve a slap across the wrist for being so slack with my postings lately. Oooooops my bad.

So much has been going on. Firstly I am happy to report that the 6 month non shopping slog has started off well and no clothing purchases to report (considering were only 10 days in), the only thing I have purchased recently was an entertainment unit for our TV (second hand might I add).

Secondly I have begun sewing a new dress to wear to a wedding in 2 weeks time. This will be my after work project as all my weekends over the next couple of months are chocka with either weddings, birthdays, events, or family visits.

Thirdly, I have also started to make some of my chirstmas presents! The weather in Sydney hasn't been the best so I have claimed a spot on the couch made several cups of tea and got my cross stitch on. Its a nice personal innexpensive gift and have found so much inspiration online from the likes of Etsy.

Finally, in order to keep track of all my projects / inspiration / stuff for the business I have attached a pinboard above my sewing area (I was starting to lose track of what I have on the go), however at the moment it is looking rather bare.  Just need to find the time to actually fill it with stuff!

Well I will post some pics soon of the progress I am making with the dress.

Till next time.
