ginger and date.

i have recently been scrolling through the archives of so much to tell you.
which is definitely my current favourite blog.

this time last year zoe had posted juliette hogan's recipe for gingerbread loaf.

YUM. it is amazing.
and especially good as a cake with chopped dates in it,
still warm, with homemade caramel sauce drizzled over it.

skirt or dress.

i am searching for something to turn that navyish cotton fabric, which has been sitting in my room forever into.

by thursday it will be something wearable and probably very simple.

rodeo show

twentysevennames

la garconne.

pilot issue four.

pilot issue four is out. finally.
i rather liked the wee section at the end called 'these are our friends'.
inspirational words from creative people.
kinda like NO magazine (which i also bought recently). a little too much alike?

maybe its just the effects of winter, but these people make me realise that my holidays have been terribly unproductive and that i definitely need a project.


i should also:
read more.
listen to more music.
make a dress from that fabric sitting in my room.
scan and print my negatives.
take more photos.
draw and paint.
learn to use photoshop/illustrator/indesign/aftereffects/flash/3dsmax a whole lot better than i do now.
improve rather than forget my spanish skills.
and make use of that sailing course i took last year.

zippora.

so she's a new zealand model.
zara mirkin shot her for foam and NO magazines a while back.
but thats not my point.
i mean her name is zippora! zippora seven to be exact.
could my parents not have been blessed with imaginations like hers clearly were?
