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?

  6. So happy for you. I missed it, but expect there will be plenty more fashion spreads in the future! You are a super star! Those cupcakes look delightful. I haven't yet made plans for Valentine's Day. Expect it will be low key. Hope you do something special x
