as of today i am on holiday.

i sat my archtech207 exam this morning.
and am now two thirds of the way through a mostly useless degree.

hello four months of sweet sweet nothingness.



































i now have time for taking photos and going for walks and making jewellery and sewing and shopping and reading and cooking and partying and picnics and redeeming birthday vouchers/buy-it-and-ill-pay-you-backs and finding new music and house hunting and other equally exciting things!

images: we heart it except top right: d-luxe

today is my birthday.

ideally i would have liked some sort of garden party
with balloons and flowers and fairy lights and decorated cakes
and in the afternoon.
coz afternoon drinking in the sun is so much better than night time drinks inside will ever be.

had i not moved to auckland this would have been easy.

our garden at home is rediculous.

and my mother is rather a good cook.

but i did.

so i decided i'll be original and have a large twenty second instead.

all images from we heart it. 

just incase you cared.

i am that bitch who stole the last of the pretty yellow daffodils from the council plot across the road.
i had been admiring, slash eyeing them up, for a while.
but following one particularly shit night out last week, after i'd opted to walk home, alone, in the rain, i picked the final four.

and unfortunately now theyre dead.



























we heart it.

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.

a beautiful obsession.

i am easily obsessed.
i spend excessive amounts of time looking for and at beautiful things.
or not so beautiful things.
maybe one day i will have some sort of magazine.
then i will obsess over paper stock.
but for now it can all just go here.
