We got the house!
Her skin is white cloth,
and she's all sewn apart
and she has many colored pins
sticking out of her heart.
She has many different zombies
who are deeply in her trance.
She even has a zombie
who was originally from France.
But she knows she has a curse on her,
a curse she cannot win.
For if someone gets
too close to her,
the pins stick farther in.
"Winter weather is not my soul, but the biding for Spring....
Winter exposes the nests, and I'm gone..."
Smog, Palimpset from 'A River Ain't Too Much To Love'
I think I've seen about four nests in trees this week. Including one in the house that we looked at on the weekend. All the leaves being gone, they are easy to spot and prominent, awkward, empty. This album always reminds me of this time of year.
Surrendering yourself to the depths of Winter.

I've got sugar on my face. It's encrusted there from making some sticky lemon squares. I baked them in small loaf tins so that I could make sure every one had a crunchy chewy edge. I love the edges. When I was little I would just eat the cheesecake crust, the ones where your mum used to crush up biscuits and stick them together again with melted butter. Delicious.
I found this blog today. It's full of little things that make me happy.
I've been spending so much time on eBay, looking for 70s shoes, furniture for Jack's warehouse and furniture, fixtures and fittings for my Northcote project which will finally be under construction soon. It's a strange world on eBay. People spell things funny, the images are sideways and you cross eyed with insufficiently focused phone photographs.
I looked at a pretty house yesterday. It's kinda small for 4 people, and I have never lived around there. But the street is really nice, it reminds me of the narrow streets in Balmain in Sydney. I hope hope hope we get it. We've applied. In total we have applied for 5 houses in 2 months. We really are going crazy.
CROSS YOUR FINGERS AND TOES MY BLOGGING FRIENDS!
PS. I get my feathery photos back tomorrow! xx

I'm pretty busy at the moment. I've been working on a short film, set in 1974 (outside of Sydney) doing the costume design. It's really amazing researching archives of photos, families all in matching flares, 60s nanna's in psychedelic patterned flower kitchen clutching cord clad children. Great!
Sneak Peeks at the shoot I did on the weekend. Not the dappled sunlight and gangs of warriors I had hoped for, but excellent nonetheless...
I decided it needed its own amazing lauch post. Here it is. The result of a combined effort of Romy and I, Ash and Trotski, with photos by Lauren Bamford.
Enjoy. We will post once weekly, perhaps more, for your little eyes and tummies to feast on. I hope you like it. Let me know if there are any glitches or problems with the way it works...
HI!!!!
Sorry its been oh so long.
I've been pretty busy you see.
Applying to go back to school.
Starting T&A. Read! Cook! Eat! Be merry!
Looking for a house. I would like to make a hilarious 70s nest here, alas, it is not yet time... only big four bedroom sharehouses of a strange configuration for me... Not long left to find one! We've been rejected a few times, have had a few run ins with agents and so many inspections... MAY SOMEthing come along soon!
Making a little folio. It's a start.
Getting back on track as Boris subsides.
Reading about beautiful buildings.
And the ever waiting Gordon Grove project awaiting construction!!!
Hope all is well with you bloggers!
I'll keep trying to post as soon as all things are settled!

The last thing I feel like doing at the moment is looking for a house. But this one looks alright, might be too far away though. I think I'd like to have the 70s wood panelled studio as my room. Really, all I want is one of these... (via aesthetically pleasing)
Krisatomic has just uploaded some amazing blogging fodder, including this beautiful collar from a Hong Kong museum. So so beautiful.
Why am I still in bed at Midday on a Wednesday? Lazy. Well a little, yes. But mostly it's because of my new friend Boris. Boris is a complex ovarian cyst the size of a tennis ball. Nice. Hungry? I think not. I'll know more next week about how we 'lose' Boris, if only it was as easy as giving the wrong directions to the party, hopping in a cab, and hoping he can't find it.
I was feeling, quite frankly, preganant. Tender, nauseas, bloated, generally tired and emotional. Of course this isn't possible because of the medication I am on for everything else, so I decided to get it all checked out, and we found Boris.
Boris is an ex tennis player, drinks beer, has gas, likes to prod with what I can only imagine is a rabbit ear TV antennae and lives in my lower abdomen.
I guess Ill be on the internets a bit more this week. Ill try to post a bit more. Apologies for my absence, friends, bloggers (and clients!!!).

The Sartorialist has had a bit of a lull again, but this here is a pretty great outfit. I request more! Cute girls in florals and layers and tights!
My desktop is clogged with all the things I have been meaning to post and in all my silliness i didn't write down where they were from. But I thought I would post these anyway cause its such a good room!
The trouble with renting is that it's hard to stay somewhere longer than a year. We have been told that our house is for sale. Our future is once again uncertain!!! It was only a year ago that we got notice to vacate at beloved bowen. And so it begins. It seems that there are a few more options as last year we were in the clasp of a brutal rental crisis and there was next to nothing on the market, but now doesn't look quite so bad. New houses are always a little bit exciting, this house was such a compromise as we were right at the end of our 60 days with nothing to go to. Hopefully we find a magnificent palace where we can all fit and happily rest our weary year-per-house heads.
I'm dreaming of wallpaper and shell lanterns and cosy corners. Really all we want is space for more than one of us to lounge at a time, a landlord that does things like fix our back door within a day when it has fallen off its hinges- decayed, and a kitchen where you can reach the cupboards!!!!
