Pattern Tester: Cambie dress.

A while ago I was lucky enough to be selected as a pattern tester for Tasia's Cambie dress. Weeks of rain and cold prevented me taking photos of the finished dress at the time. Then more recently, I had heart surgery to fix a problem with my 'electronics', so that delayed things even further!!!

I'm back on track now and finally have photos of my version of Tasia's wonderful dress pattern up on my new blog Buckingham Road.

So why don't you come on over and join me at Buckingham Road to see the photos of my Cambie dress and to keep up with my latest creations.

I've fallen on my feet.

Tonight marks the end of the second week in my new job. I absolutely love it. I have learnt so much during these last two weeks. I am working as a Support Worker in a community outreach role. We basically provide a service to help those living with a mental illness live in their homes independently. Most of my day is spent in the community, travelling to different people and supporting them to live independently. Every one of the people each teach me something every day, which I think is pretty amazing! It is a very special job.

The bonus, I am part of an awesome team that treat every person and challenge with respect and dignity - and seriously have a passion for their work! What more could I want?

How does it work? Simply leave me a comment in this post, and on Sunday 8th August at 9am Sydney time, I will draw a winner using an online random number generator. I will then announce the winner on this blog and also contact them on theirs.

The winner can then choose a 8x12 inch photograph from my Etsy store Buckingham Road and I will package it up and send it to them for free!

Thanks so much to each and everyone of you who I have connected with through this blog. I am so grateful to have this space to share my ideas, obsessions, successes, and milestones, but most importantly to be able to connect with people from across the globe who encourage and inspire me every day!

I made it to the front page of Etsy.

Guess what! One of Buckingham Road's photographs made it to the front page of Etsy!

'Fill Your Cup'

To celebrate this I have listed the Tea 3 photographs as a set. This photograph set includes the photographs 'Tea for Three', ‘Fill your Cup’, and ‘and one makes three’. Each photograph is sized 4X6, making them perfect for display in a three panel frame, or individually for extra impact.
