Much Love Monday - head in the clouds

I have been loving the extra long weekend. Obviously 5 days off is always brilliant, that goes without saying. I took a little time away from eating chocolate to spend some time exploring places close to home and far away. I spent a little time in the city exploring the lane ways and visiting NGV. I also hit the road to visit the lovely Hanging Rock and super charming Woodend. As always I took my cameras along with me and here are a few of my favourites.

I kind of had a fun week last week. Nothing that unusual happened. I made some cute things for my stall. I rode my bike about. I baked a yummy cheesecake. I saw a gorgeous band with some equally gorgeous friends. Point is if every week was like this I would be a pretty happy lady indeed. 

this may be a little early to say but...

if by some miracle i manage to find a sweet fella to tie the knot with i want jonas peterson to take my wedding pics. seriously how amazing are these gorgeous images? really. i love weddings. actually i love all parties with cake and dancing.

10.40 am - my photo (and 'view' at work)   -  presentation photos by bobby chen 

just a quick one, a little while ago i took part in a fun little project. and was as simple as this - take a photo at 10.40am on the specified day. and that's it. the whole collection and idea was put together by bobby chen a super photographer here in Melbourne. check it out. 

look around you

i love when things surprise you and make your day, just lovely unexpected moments. like last night i went dancing after work and they played xanadu, as you can imagine i got a little overexcited. and this morning i went for a walk and my day was made when i saw a love heart when i was walking along the footpath + a some hot air balloons + this awesome paste up of matt preston.

i'm bad at defining what i want. maybe i want to much. maybe i am afraid of failing or following the wrong path so i follow no path at all, or at least it feels like it sometimes. I think maybe it comes from a lifetime of indecision and being too easily distracted by what others think. 2010 feels a little different. i am trying to get my ducks all lined up in a row so to speak. and i have been thinking the best way to start is to reflect on last year. i came across a lovely list on much love. anna has a lovely blog which i am sure you have checked out so stop on by. what are your plans ?

things i loved in 2009......

moving into my own place + feeling at home

rediscovering that i can have love for many things creatively that aren't what people expect me to

going to sydney a few times with lovely people and discovering there is so much out there

booking my flights to the USA

being part of my first real honest to goodness amazing exhibition 

dressing up like an idiot and realising that i have the best friends on the planet 

spontaneous moments of luck like seeing john mayer + meeting a boy who made me look to the future

things i didn't love so much in 2009.....

giving up too easily on my dreams because someone said it wasn't a good fit

being let down by someone who knew better

oh more trivially all the crap crap music that flooded the radio - hearing a 12 year old girl request sexy biatch? huh?

one thing i love right now......

my new photography challenge

my new design ideas + realising failures lead to kind of success

experimenting with fashion and having fun

realising no one is watching and that is ok

i am looking forward to in 2010......

going to the USA for a month in May

making sure i am happy

seeing the tim burton exhibition when it hits Melbourne next June

Signing up for fashion classes so i can actually know what i am doing

dancing drinking sangria and being generally silly at any opportunity

saying yes without thinking of saying no first
