Lone Star State Of Mine

The more I hurt,
The less I feel, 

The more I know, 

The less I rest in this...
Lone star state of mine.

The more I hurt,
The less I feel, 

The more I know, 

The less I rest in this...

Lone star state of mine.

Say it straight,
Don't bend my ear, 

When I'm walking lost in an evening air, 

You two-step into my idle home, 

And tearing my song all up with minor chords now.

The more I solve,
The less I work, 

That can't be good for some boy out of love, 

Out of touch, out of lust, out of soul, 

n'Out of song.

Rest in peace dear river phoenix

Photography & Fitness

Recently my boyfriend and I have teamed up with our friends to get fit. Since im not a real fitness junkie I drag along my camera and take photos to make things a bit more interesting. We go out at night and I've had a lot of fun playing around with the lack of light.
Hope you enjoy : )

Cutest Buttons in the World

Found these buttons today. Arent they just soo cute?

Old School Desk

Earlier this year I found a sad beat up old school desk sitting outside my local Bloomhill opportunity shop. It was begging for a new home and a good clean up. I could see beauty shining through and couldn't resist adopting another project. Everyone else dismissed its charm and thought I was crazy bringing home another 'piece of junk'. It was covered in stickers and graffiti but well worth the $40. I spent ages sanding back the years of dirt and grime, replaced the damaged shelf and gave it a few coats of lacquer. Shes finally finished and look at her now, isn't she beautiful! I have to say I'm a bit devastated that I didn't take a before shot to show my tables humble beginnings, but that doesn't matter. She will be cherished for years to come.

Book Bag

I made myself a new bag for my UNI books

Vintage Fabrics

 

 

 

I adore vintage fabrics. These are the latest additions to my collection. Eventually they all get turned into something new and are given a second life.

Vintage Dress Patterns

I have a passion for vintage fashion.

These four are new additions to my pattern collection.  I just adore the illustrations and dress designs, their so cute! Modern day dress patterns don't tend to fit me to well, they're always too big and the designs can be a bit boring. I recently discovered I'm actually small enough to fit a children's size twelve so its opened up a whole new hunting field for me. If only I had more money =(

Brisbane River Fire 2009

 Just some drunken fire works photography I did at river fire this year. I thought it turned out pretty cool.
