New Jewels!!!

I took advantage of the quiet weekend to work on some of my jewellery. I've had these pretty Swarovski crystals for awhile but wasn't sure what to do with them. I wanted to make something really pretty and really girly and I think I've achieved that. Definitely one for the girly girl!

The second item is this beaded necklace, which I'm really proud of. I don't often make necklaces but I had a number of beautiful one off beads I wanted to use. It's really pretty and feminine and I think appeals to a broad age range. I was very tempted to keep this one for myself! I also think I'd like to make more necklaces like this. Stay tuned to see what I come up with next!

A new kid on the blog

Hi there,

My name's Cat and I live in Sydney, Australia. Welcome to my first ever blog entry!

I never thought I'd be the kind of person who blogs about my life. Afterall, why would anyone be interested in little ol' me? I am the kind of person who does love to keep a record of things though. I keep all my tickets and photos are very important to me. My hopeless memory means I need all the help I can to remember things.

Upon realising just how big a year 2010 is going to be for me, I thought it would be a good idea to amalgamate all my little notebooks, scrapbooks, post-it notes and snap shots into this...an online record of all the trials, tribulations, love, laughter, joy and heartache I know is ahead of me.

The biggest event planned for this year is the wedding. The Wedding. Our Wedding. On 4 December 2010, my fiance Travis and I will officially be bound to each other for the rest of our lives. I can't wait :)

I love this pic of us - it was taken from my laptop the morning after our engagement party.

Our situation is a little unusual at the moment as Trav's just moved to Papua New Guinea for work. So, as well as plannning our wedding, I've also got the additional challenge of missing my fiance terribly. It's his first job as a pilot and the the plan is to stick out the seperation until our wedding. Then we can reevaluate the situation.

2010 is also going to be the year I finally get into the property market. I've been saving for years and April is my target month to purchase my first home. Very exciting! Then comes the part I'm most excited about...decorating!!

Just in case I thought I wasn't busy enough (and to prevent myself going mad from boredom and loneliness), I've also started making and selling my own jewellery.



As you can see I'm going to be a very busy girl! Thanks for starting this journey with me. I hope you'll help me out with advice and comments as I could always do with some extra help. Enjoy and stay tuned... :)
