I have a bit of an addiction.

I was trying to make a bag from everyone's favourite Omiyage book, but it wasn't until I was halfway through that I realised I didn't have any fabric that matched this orange-y silk I was using. So, naturally, I just sewed a brooch back on to it and wore it instead.

Here's another silk flower, but this time of my own design. The colours look super-tasty in real life:

Finally, I bought this so-eighties-I-can-still-smell-the-Opium-on-it(the perfume, not the drug) top for $1 at the local op shop. I whipped out the shoulder pads, but it still needed something else, so I stiched a little dark brown (to match the polkadots and the waistband colour, not that you can tell) felt bird on to it with pale blue embroidery thread.

Bird design shamelessly ripped from this site: http://www.reddressshoppe.com/New%20Arrivals.htm
I'm just a bag of originality.

Hey, check out my nice collar bone. I know it's the fashion to say "Sorry for my (insert perfectly normal body part here)", but screw that.
