Chuffed.

 I was minding my own business today.

Just schlepping around the House of Flora.

Taking selfies.

Doing housework.

Setting up little fabric vignettes. 

 Admiring the new walk-in.

 Rearranging.

 Noticing the small things.

 Wondering where I was going to put the last of the Christmas decorations.

 Putting up a few artefacts from Venice.

Made in China.

 Zhu-zhuing with flower corsages.

 Admiring my glitter handiwork.

 Tidying up my twenty year old cotton reel holder.

Not particularly ergonomic.

But an original one-of-a-kind.

Made by a fellow chalkface worker.

 Wondering how I could put this little swan into a headpiece.

 Procrastinating about putting away mess.

 When suddenly I had news!
Full-scale frippery!

Flora's in the Queensland's biggest newspaper's fashion editorial.

The Courier Mail

Stop it.

Flora's frippery styled with pyjamas and ice-creams.

On roller-skates, no less!

 Here's the piece back in the studio under progress.

 

 

 

 To celebrate I cut loose in the kitchen.

Orange and apricot cupcakes with a cream cheese frost.

 I'm suitably chuffed.

Loved up or not, what are you doing for Valentine's Day?

Any inspiration?
