It’s my birthday… and I’ll craft if I want to!

Happy birthday to me!

Here I am, all lonesome in an empty house, Nick’s over in the UK, I have only my cat for company… sniff…

It’s awesome! After the wonderful madness of the last two weeks, I’m really enjoying a day at home, alone. I’m a big fan of me-time – probably originating from the fact that I’m an only child, and have always been happy to amuse myself.

I had pizza and a movie on Friday night with friends, and a lovely dinner with my parents last night, but today is all for me.

I woke up with a headache (boo) but now feel fine! Slept in, spent some time reading in the garden under the shade of our big Jacaranda tree, and now back inside because I got the itch to make things!

Firstly, I have received some lovely gifts. First, my AWESOME fiance bought me this gorgeous EeePC before he left…

And just to give you an idea of scale – now I have big hands, but still.

My wonderful boss bought me this lovely bouquet of flowers…

My parents got me a gift voucher to Loot – a funky homewares store after I eyed off a throw that mum bought there a few weeks ago. 

I have made myself a present, too – I finished off the bracelet I’m going to wear to my wedding! I started this ages ago, and only today felt like finally finishing it off.

I also finished off a few other pairs of earrings and photographed them… but I’ll leave those to a later post.

Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday!
