Photo Diary 24.03.10

The day my sister went to Oz :) (I know it's a bit late!)
Keep in mind that I've never done a photo diary before in my life, and after we'd come home from the airport I didn't really feel like taking any more pictures, so it's really just the morning.
stuffing one more thing in at the last minute!Driving down to London in the pouring rainBreakfast at Pret-a-PorterAs we drove home, the sun came out and gave us this glorious sky, although it didn't help the gloomy mood in the car..
She arrived safe, and sounds like she's having a ball- kangaroo testicle keyrings anyone?!

Burda!

Recently I had that horrible moment where you realise that you have a lot of things To go to, nothing to wear AND no money! Aaaaagh!
Luckily, I've always been a bit of a handy sewer, so I was thinking of getting my old mannequin down (although, she is a plus size unfortunately) and making a dress or two, and whilst researching this a little I found Burda, a lovely site populated by younger sewers than most, that also allows you to download some free patterns. So far, I've found some incredible sewers on there, where I wouldn't be surprised to at least see their designs on the high street, and some even on the catwalk (although they're not madly unwearable, so I have doubts about that second point).
Here's a few of my favourites;
Although I'd probably do the last one in a different colour, or just a different shade of pink..
So hopefully I'll come up with something to wear over the next few days.

In other news, my wonderful sister is leaving for australia next week- she's spending 6 months out there back packing and generally having fun whilst we all have to stick with GCSE's and stuff. I'm really worried about what I'll do without her for 6 months, but at the same time I'm really excited for her- she's gonna have so much fun and see so many things she would otherwise have never seen.
Check her blog out- I'm sure it'll be full of some hilarious stuff. She does have an odd way of expressing herself...
