So I turn 25 today! Meet my inflatable buddy, my newly ‘chewed off’ fringe that my hairstylist gave me that I really love and a 25-year-old Melly! I’m throwing a party this Saturday and a friend mocked me for ordering my own cake, haha. Toot toot!
Boy oh boy do I have a problem with my memory! It’s deteriorating. Fast. Age is catching up. And fast. So what I forgot about was to share Adeline’s Photographic Diary, this entry is on ink or tattoos. My small tattoos made it on there together with Liz and Diana’s massive sleeves! Was super stoked to be included. Plus Adeline’s recently banged out a new neat layout which was done by Katrina and well, short story short, I’m pretty much in love with how tight this blogging community is.
So from tattoos to food, here we go with food on film #2.
pan-fried salmon, kenyan green beans, zucchini & tomato & avocado salad
penne with pork sausage (minced up) & kenyan green beans, in a chicken broth sauce (I followed a recipe for the sauce but switched up the greens). It’s nice change from the usual tomato/cream base and Ben was very quick to say he liked it (yay for me)! If you’d like the recipe, I’d be happy to scan a copy.
breakfast of zucchini and avocado on wholemeal toast
clear-the-fridge-and-throw-it-all-in fried rice for lunch
I rarely snack on chocolate but the new packaging gave me a reason to put it in the basket. It’s boxy and nice to hold now.
How’s everyone’s weekend going? I’m desk-bound and working on more twigs, watching the new season of Project Runway and hopefully, eat some ice cream tomorrow.
HEYYY!!! I’ve just updated my etsy shop with these new babies. I used a different type of paper this time, painted some twigs to go in a different direction, played around with ‘draping’ instead of the usual ‘drops’. I really love a few of these so I hope they end up in good hands!
Also, my twigs were on some of these cool blogs (many months ago!) – For Me, For You, Color Collective, dee9:14. Thank you ladies, I was quietly very thrilled!
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’m thrilled to have Nicole’s shop, Uniiko Vintage, as one of our sponsors for the month! Uniiko Vintage has a delightful new shopfront and some great blazers in store right now. If that isn’t up your alley, you could swing by Nicole’s Thrift Store instead. She’s got real love for her fashion (and living life) so you might want to check her blog too, it’s a good read.
