As well as the new years resolutions I made this year, I have decided I need to take more photographs, draw more and get bloody fit!! So I decided to challenge myself a bit more this year and make myself do all 3 things EVERY DAY! I haven't really given myself any incentive, I may need to introduce that for the winter days .. but I have successfully completed my first 5 days! Here's hoping it will last and the photos will get better and better.

As much as I would have liked to edit the photos and just post the best, I will be truthful and post the actual photo I took each day.. Look forward to viewing my entire house, inch by inch ...

You remember this little guy ... well I'd like to introduce you to Mother Mullet. Here she is in all her glory at her 4th birthday party. Oh joy!!! It was perfectly acceptable in 1990, we all look ridiculous, it IS NOT acceptable in 2008.

I do have to say though, that my haircut (right of birthday girl) is somewhat worse than anyone else's.. For me it was more about where my creativity would take me, and if that meant smashing our best hand-painted cups in the bath, or a hideous selfsie on the bangs, so be it.

The WINNER!!!

op shop here x

2010-08-01T05:59:00.000-07:00

These kitchen beauties were all collected in one op-shop mission. I was actually driving from Wanaka to Dunedin to see my Ma and her Missus, but I'm such a crazed op-shoper that I spent more of the day inside 2nd hand shops (or looking for them) than actually on the road..

There were a couple of especially good ones, I have marked them below.. One was in Roxborough, a cute town, like most South Island town I guess.. and it had a huge collection of enamel coated kitchenware. My dream in life! I bought this teapot for $10 in mint condition for me Ma, and she says its the best pourer she's got! Nice one Roxborough!

The second was in Lawrence, my goodness! She had a box of gorgeous cups, 10c each! I got these four along with many other reasonable priced bits and pieces. So I get to the counter, she carefully wraps my purchases and we have a bit of a chit chat, then to my delight she lifts a tea towel from the counter to reveal an amazing plate of home baked melting moments! I couldn't believe it..I took two. What a friggin awesome lady! I rate this as my no 1 second hand shopping experience.

Oh World Sweet World.. we miss you

If you are a keen op-shopper, have a read of this! An article put together by my sister Kura and I.

Cheap as Chipped China

One crafty girl, her little car, and a mission to visit every op-shop in the country

When keen crafter Rosa-May Rutherford bought her first car, found herself with both time on her hands and a growing sense of adventure, she hatched a scheme to drive from one end of the country to the other stopping in every small-town op-shop along the way.

Inspired by Ann Packer’s book Crafty Girls’ Road Trip, 24-year-old Rosa-May decided to put her own spin on the fun concept. With a tight budget and little ‘all weather’ driving experience, Rosa was determined none-the-less. She had a plan: to put on loud music, fill her car with petrol and drive from the far north of New Zealand to the deep south, not returning home until her easy-on-the-gas wee Mazda 323 was jam-packed fill with second-hand stuff she could fill her house with, or repurpose for craft projects.

Having fun, seeing new bits of New Zealand, and catching up with friends along the way were all high priority, but Rosa-May’s trip was also strongly informed by her staunch belief that craft-making is made all the better by reusing resources. “There is so much out there to be reused,” she says, “and I was determined to go out and find lots of it”.

While she says it’s great how the majority of crafty New Zealanders will now purchase natural fibres, she is inspired most by the people who have gone the next step and are buying their craft materials second-hand. “I think I would cry if I saw that my friends had bought brand new knitting and crochet needles. The world is overpopulated already with size 3 1/4 knitting needles!”

Having recently finished university and ready to set up her first post-student home, she was also in desperate need of household goodies. So, as well as building up her crafting stocks, the search was on to find old-school kitchen equipment, pre-loved china and anything else that might cozy up her new pad.

“I’d never been on a solo road trip before so having a focus really gave the trip an extra momentum and I found that having a style or era in mind really helped me to zone in on the perfect scores! When I arrived in some small towns, it was sometimes a bit of a downer being by myself, but knowing there were op-shops just waiting to be explored made it ok”.

Rosa-May developed a method to finding op-shops in every new town she visited. “I’d always do a lap of the place, and check out the back streets just to make sure the shops weren’t hiding behind the library.” She admits though that there would definitely be quicker ways of finding them. “If I had been more on to it, I might have actually gone in to the library and checked out their yellow pages! But there’s something satisfying about finding the shop yourself”.

Along the way Rosa-May became as passionate about the op-shops themselves as the potential scores. “Op-shops rule. I know they’re nothing new, but maybe we take op-shops for granted. I love the sense of community and the locals all doing their weekly shop there and catching up on the grandkids. It also adds to the sense of community if you know that every dollar you spend is helping in some small way to keep a good thing going.” She noticed when folk took real pride in their shops. “The best shops were often in the small towns. Some of the big city shops were really lacking in that care - and I just walked in and walked out. You can tell straight away if the shop has its heart in the right place!” One memorable small-town op-shop was so committed to the feel-good shopping factor they even offered a free piece of home baking with each purchase.

Refuse centres were another regular pit stop, and always worth the hunt. “It’s pretty funny arriving in town with the first question running through my mind, ‘wonder where the dump is around here!’” But it definitely paid off when she would finally spot a Recycle Centre sign, and come out of the place an hour later with two shopping bags full to the brim with kitchen goods, aprons, reusable fabric, and have only spent $5 (after giving a $2 tip!).

Having returned from her trip, and now settling down to start on a myriad of new craft projects, Rosa-May has good news for fellow crafters and op-shop scavengers; “having driven from north to south, I can tell you there is heaps of cool stuff around that needs to be found, and used.” Rosa-May totally recommends a second-hand crafty road trip to anyone wanting an adventure with a purpose. She was seriously taken by the beauty of the homeland, and the kindness of people along the way, but most of all she is still in awe of her stack of op-shop scores. Now she has such an assortment of craft materials (and a house that almost looks like a secondhand store with so many tea cups and enamel-coated dishes) she figures she will be set for life - “or at least until the travel bug next gets me”.

Rosa-May Rutherford, like many others has a mini craft business selling her crafts on felt.co.nz. She makes sure she uses as many recycled and organic threads as possible to look after our planet a little more.

It was the bare feet in mid-winter, walk of shame at 4pm, Toga clad just-out-of-homers in a line extending from pub door to next suburb at 11am, that made me question Dunedin as a place I'd ever visit again.

AAaaahhhh another great Bout at the Hordern Pavillion. Now that we have skates, the reality of us making our debut onto this lemonade polished concrete track seems a lot further away. We haven't quite mastered stopping, let alone hazard avoiding, weaving, skating backwards, knee slides etc.. Maybe this time next year.. maybe.. I have a whole new appreciation for these hot bitches.

So here's where we're at.... definitely more confident, but still not so good at stopping..it's more of a "EXCUSE ME MA'AM, BUT I CANNN'TTTTT STOP, CAN YOU MOVVVVEEEE PLEASE!!!!!" situation.

Thanks to Piri, we have evidence that we actually can stay upright on our skates woop, LOOK AT US!

After a long day at work yesterday, I found that my cleavage was unusually tanned for a winters day. On closer inspection, I just had heaps of ground coffee down my top... I then found it in my armpits and toes, my hands looked like I'd tried a fake tan jobby...and gone five shades too dark.

Although I have been making coffee for a number of years now, I still have not learnt to dress appropriately for work. Two 'rules' I always thought were dumb:

Black covered in shoes

No low-cut tops or singlets

I have only JUST realised that this is for my comfort(and knife safety), not their anal retention.

The wreckage of my very best second-hand score

These two images show off my coffee jandal-tan...

I swear tomorrow I will were black closed toe shoes.. if they look good with my outfit...

Roller Skat(defla)ting

2010-06-14T04:07:00.000-07:00

This image I drew a little while ago so perfectly depicts how I feel right now about my skating career....

Yesterday as I skated with Satomi around Sydney Uni, I thought 'Yes! Easy peezy! Watch out Derby, here I come...' I was so good, toot tooot!

Then tonight, feeling cocky after yesterdays win, I suggested to my surf-obsessed friend that we go for a night skate. Off we go, Janne on her skateboard, down the street..gone.. me covered from head to toe in protective gear crawling out the doorway.. 'haha I nearly fell already' I jest... to myself..

So I skate for mmm about 3 mins then decide I'm 'too blind' to skate in the dark.. slash fuckin shit at skating. Aw man. Nearly home, Janne takes a look at my wrist guards 'I should get some of these' she says.. I promptly fall to the ground onto my arse (not protected) and kick her hard in the shin on the way down. Ultimate fail.

This is the goal...

This is the reality, but she looks a little better than me at not moving.

Op Shop Here: #1

New Zealand.. The land of plenty .. When we say 'plenty', we are obviously referring to the abundance of second hand shops. I'm going to take you to a few of my favourites, starting here in Greta Valley. Located between Kaikoura and Christchurch....somewhere....I found two very special stores, both a little above average price wise, but well worth a good scout and a chat. Shop man at shop 2 happily traded one of my previous op-shop scores for a different (much nicer) version of the same thing..
If you're on the road in the south, be sure and stop at these two gems. Stay tuned for more..

Well it is always the same time of year that I remember crochet... possible the same exact day. My very favourite crochet project is to make a blanket. The bigger the better. Not only am I being productive whilst sitting on my lazy arse, watching tv(quality time with boyfriend), I am warm warm warmmmmmmmm! Bonus.
Its too bad I left my massive bag of wool in NZ last week. Off to the Salvation Army I go to start a new bag...

My lovely sister Stella was kind enough to support my Illustration career by commissioning me to do a fun project indeed and design a shower curtain to liven up her bathroom... bless her!
