sew wonderful
Two blogs that are my current inspiration.
First one: The sew weekly.
"By the end of 2010, I hope to have a closet filled only with clothes that I have sewn myself (with a few exceptions). This project began in Fall of 2009 but I began documenting it in January 2010. The Sew Weekly is all about my attempt to meet that goal by sewing something, well, weekly."
Here are some of my favourites from the blog:

Second one is Tilly and the buttons- "a love affair with stitching". Her blog is fantastic and interesting and filled with old fashions.
Here are some of her lovely creations:

Candice Tripp
When I was a youngen I used to do browney's and dancing with a girl named Candice Tripp. We lost touch, ended up going to the same high school but never spoke in the hallways or ever again for that matter. She's now a well-established artist living in London and her stuff is brilliant. Brilliant.
"Tripp’s work resonates with an innocence that steers clear of societal commentary, choosing instead to youthfully represent childish scenarios with a grown-up twist. Working predominantly in oil and ink, her subject matter is cast into negative space, illustrating just an instance of a narrative with only the title hinting towards a bigger picture Without any formal training Tripp started exhibiting her paintings in early 2007; her plans to go to university were interrupted when she booked her first solo show in April that year."

some snaps!
My sugar snaps are-a-growin'
The R5 store in Fish Hoek sells everything! Not everything is R5 though.
The best and most perfect looking cappuccino i've tasted thus far. The meeting place in Simons town
This cyclist must have the old people of Muizenberg up in arms
