Things I'm Diggin'

New blog finds

I Saw You Dancing a new blogger and kindred spirit. I connected with her ideas and words immediately. The best bit of the story is that The Creative Beast, who lives in LA, introduced us, and we live in North Fitzroy and Thornbury. How cool is that?

{the penny has dropped} I adore this blog. My love affair first began when I saw her letter to her fear.

pepper stitches I just discovered this blog today and it's choc full of so much good stuff.

Project Play 365 Megan's photography blows my mind. Check out this picture.

Painting. I can't get enough of painting at the moment. I feel like I've really found my stride recently. I've been working on these 3 pieces since the new year and I love the way they turned out. I'm planning to put them in my Etsy shop sometime this week.

    those paintings are just BEAUTIFUL! i'm really feeling the blues/lavenders of "Surrender" - so calming.

    it's funny you should be discovering Pepper Stitches just now when i found her among the participants of your Blogtoberfest!! i just love her and her adorable softies...can't wait to check out your other recommendations =-)

    I'm so touched! Thanks for the mention, sweet soul.
    SO looking forward to meeting you in person soon. Wish we could fly The Creative Beast down to join us! :-)
    I'm also loving Surrender. The sentiment, the colours, the textures have such cohesion. It's obvious that you really loved making it.
