Howdy! I was supposed to blog about these new stickers on Monday. Monday became Wednesday and I’m behind on reading all your blogs as well, urgh! How is everyone?
About the stickers, I’m so in love with the illustrations and the clothes on the girls and their demeanour. I don’t think I’ve ever looked at an illustration and think “oh god, I want to be her”.
The illustrations are by Heeda but I came up with no leads on google. Wherever you are, Heeda, I love your girls and I’m gonna stick them onto every piece of mail I send out!
In other things, I finally collected my 35mm f1.8 lens from the post office today! I took these photos with my new lens.
Also I have a guest post up on my friend, Nabbycat’s blog! Do hop on over, I made a sweet little collage of melly-things and am hoping to lure interesting things out of people on the internet!
(I can’t believe it but I actually think I missed blogging, wow yipes.)

I had some pictures involving these twigs and leaves on the blog before, those were taken during the making process. I’ve finally finished them and they’re now available in my etsy store.
The idea behind it was initially to create a decorative piece that would have movement to it. I wish I could for the life of me remember the exact point in which this idea was conceived though it definitely was a mish mash of several things I was inspired back in November combined with the origami leaves I was already making. Essentially, they’re made out of real twigs, origami leaves, string, beads and some hemp. I kinda do really love them and felt a sense of achievement when I finally figured my way around executing the exact idea I grew in my head (I, for one, don’t always succeed in that area).
I could go on talking about them forever but I’ll shush now. Do let me know your thoughts your feelings anything in your comments? Would love and appreciate that. And oh, clicking on the images will take you to the etsy listing!

Drew up a family portrait in the last few days. You can click on the image to view it larger, over on Flickr. Alternatively, I learnt this rad tip from Allison – http://ihardlyknowher.com is a minimalist Flickr viewer and it’s cool cos you can choose to view your photos real big. It’s super easy to link up to your Flickr account and you’re good to go in about 7 seconds. This is mine: http://ihardlyknowher.com/greenlaundry/big
Let me know if you’re on it! I really do prefer checking out photos this way over the conventional Flickr layout, to be honest.

Having one thing after another. Planning, worrying, stressing. Then a meeting today. Nursing a giant pimple right smack centre on my nose (this makes you look out for fellow pimple-on-the-nose victims, spotted one today in town). And I can’t seem to sleep every night, I’m feel hungry once my head’s on my pillow. So I’m continuing to finish what I started last year. I’m really not complaining, I’m actually in great spirits having seen this new collection from H&M via Ringo, Have a Banana! So much so that I’ve shamelessly asked a friend who lives in a city with H&M to help buy me some, come March!
Is everyone easing into 2010 nicely? I’m terrible. I like to correct people when they say 2010 is next year, but sometimes I can’t cos of who they are, all’s good though.
