A month in the life of "One Denim Bird" ....

 
It's been a month since my last post and I really don't know where the time has gone!

I have made a commitment to do several local markets over the warmer months and I have a lot of stock to replenish.

but firstly
in more exciting news 
we have had a family holiday up the coast
and in all our usual madness
I managed to meet
in person
the fabulously talented
 

Sarah Misfit

of
 
 
and what a HOOT it was.
As you can imagine it was a day filled with fun and frocks,
dress ups and laughter,
posing and dancing,
op shopping and tip scrounging,
dress fittings, giggles and some serious vintage swapping!
 
See more details of our time together

 
in the meantime here are a couple of fabulous photos our
photographic extraordinaire
took of me and my girl (Grace)

After a gorgeous week at the coast I came back to the dishevelled sewing room from HELL
 
see sewing room photos
 
 
A sewing room clean out was in order!
 
Initially I thought I would drive all the way to Melbourne to do an IKEA run,
purchase one of their you beaut shelving units for my sewing room
and drive all the way home
 
SERIOUSLY STUPENDOUS
 
Instead, I bought cheap and cheerful industrial DIY shelving locally
and the results speak for themselves ...
 
from this crazy cluttered mess
 
 
to this super duper anal organisation
 
 
WHAT THE  ???? 
insane isn't it!!!
 
But gee I am loving it.
 
 
everything has a proper home.
 
Yes loves, PROPER!
 
 
It took me ALL day to fold these babies.
 And how good is the colour co-ordination?
 
 
 
your welcome!
 
 
Now I need to start at the other end *sigh*
 
Anyway I will leave you with a few happy snaps from the past month.
 
Enjoy ...
