I Can Fly…

What was meant to be a ‘this is what I wore today’ post has turned in to a ‘Look, I can fly’ post. It’s obvious that I have a small crush on animated GIFs, especially when they let me levitate.

We had a very small window of spring sunshine here in Melbourne that was too good to waste on a boring ‘look at me, I’m so stylish’ pose, so here is a little bit of silliness.

Oh, so did you really want to know what I’m wearing?

Cardigan – Lowrys Farm (bought in Tokyo)
Skirt – Vintage Fletcher Jones from Hunter Gatherer
Sandals – Swedish Hasbeens

Kewpie Labels – a free printable

I was messing about with some images on picnik.com the other day and thought some printable Kewpie doll labels might be fun. You can print these out onto adhesive paper to make make stickers, or just onto plain paper and paste them on with glue. You could also print onto card to make gift tags. You are limited only by your imagination.
I’ve used mine as return address labels and just stuck them on with tape, because no matter how many glue sticks I have, I can never find any!
I’m sure yours will look much nicer than my slap dash efforts.
So to print out your labels just click on this link, and ‘save image as’ to your computer. Then when you print, select fit to page.
Tell me how you get on.
Just a little note: This printable is for personal use only, please do not resell this printable or items made with it.
Feel free share this on your own blog but make sure you link back to this post (not the printable image), thanks for understanding.

Enjoy, x Cinti

Cheery pins…

I have a cold, it’s one of those ones that gradually creeps up on you and you try and push through, with out much luck. It’s not a really bad one, just one that makes your brain all mushy and saps your energy and motivation. Team that up with a toddler that decided not to have a nap, and I’m all out of energy to blog.

So instead I thought I’d share some of my colourful pins from my Pinterest boards.

A day at the park…

Emma and I spend some time at the park most days. Sometimes it’s all about the swings, or the ducks, yesterday it was about the flowers. The sunshine was so delicious and the sky impossibly blue, I couldn’t resist using my phone to snap some of these autumn blooms...

Beret Autumnal…

What does one do when there are dishes to wash and tons of emails to answer? Play with dollies of course…Emma is napping so I thought this was the perfect opportunity for Hettie to show off the new beret I made for her. I love the colour, I matches her eyes (well one set anyway) and really coordinates with this little autumnal ensemble made by Hettie’s mummy Narelle.
