I'm really obsessed with beading at the moment.
It's actually fairly easy to make. The instruction book is is Japanese, but I have somehow been able to decipher the instructions. This I believe, is good for my brain and will defer dementia for several years!
I made this bag as a gift for a new baby girl in our extended family. I will be meeting her for the first time in a couple of weeks.
The pattern is from Cotton Time, and the fabric is from Marunan in Shibuya.
The latest WITH magazine comes with a cute tote to feed my bag addiction.
I've bought alot of books lately. This one, "Jiyugaoka Official Guide" will come in handy on my next trip to Tokyo!
It features 539 businesses and shops in Jiyugaoka.
I wish I had this map when I visited there. You definitely need a map to get around all the little side streets without getting lost and forgetting where the train station is.
The book also comes with a cute calico tote bag. Not nearly big enough for all the goodies one could buy there!
The latest Milkfed magazine catalogue contains lots of beautiful clothes and accessories.
It also comes with 3 Milkfed items to feed my bag addiction. Milkfed tote will come in handy on my next shopping expedition.
A smaller Mikfed bag for make up or odds and ends.
My latest beading creation is a Swarovski necklace called "Ginza"
I also made a cute purfume bottle from bicones.
We had great night at the John Mayer concert in Brisbane last night. He is one very talented man, as are all his band.
