fresh flowers fix everything.

wake up to something pretty

I am not joking. I had been waking up every morning with a sad little face, as I looked at the mess and non-nice arrangement atop my bedroom drawers. No matter how many times I played around with decorating, I just couldn't get it right.

I brought home a gorgeous bunch of locally grown roses, and put them on the drawers. For some strange reason, this happened. And I thought it looked pretty damn nice.

So now, I can wake up every morning and smile. I just need to promise to buy fresh roses every week, and not catch a glimpse of the so called "collection" of drinking glasses that my boyfriend has on his bedside table. He tells me it will keep growing because that is what collections do. The other day I noticed him drinking water out of a wine glass. That too has joined the collection.

did I mention in my previous post that I got a Canon DSLR for Christmas? ha. well I did! excitemento! so many things to make pictures of and not enough time. Since I haven't really left the house since I got it, the only things that I have really taken pictures of are things around my home. and I am dying to show you something, and so I guess it just has to be this!

lets call it a housey tour! but I won't show you too much because I haven't done much housework as I am in "holiday mode". it gets really tiring watching Californication and Scrubs on DVD all day. David Duchovny and Zach Braff are like my heros (crushes) or something.

welcome to 2010 my lovely blog readers! without getting into "resolutions", this year I am hoping to continue my exhibition attending (and curating!) get the new website up and running, develop and grow {twin set} and just keep on making and creating. The growing support means a lot to me, and every comment always makes me smile. keep it real homies!

well, I always thought that the website weheartit was only accessable via invitation only or something like that. however, the other day I just gave in and went on over to suss it all out. because lots and lots of blogs theses days are referencing this website for their images.

well, turns out it is a prettier version of sites like "digg" etc except it is just images. and pretty images too. this excited me very much, because I love looking at pretty images and I like collecting them for our {twin set} blog.

however, I became a little sad when I realised the tangled-web state that the site is in. I always reference the original source for my images, and if I find the image on a blog that references an image I use, then I always include [image VIA here] for example. well, weheartit makes this a little tricky. because even if the orignial source is linked in the "entry" when I click through, it is often just a blogger who has used the image in a pretty post, and they may not have even referenced the actual image source! see my confusion?

so when I see people saying "source :: weheartit" now I start to wonder. because that isn't the true source. the person who took the photo didn't submit it to weheartit, someone else did. so who gets the credit!!

GAH!!!! my other issue, what happens when I want to use an image I found on weheartit in a post. who am I supposed to credit. the original, the "hearter"?

maybe I will just stick with flickr.

friends. it is friday. yippee to those in offices, maybe not so fun for students who work part-time on weekends (I feel your pain, I am sorry).

this weekend I will:

1. jump with excitement when I finally see the freshly printed Foreshore Dynamic T's.
2. continue jumping while enjoying the sweet tunes of Midnight Youth.
3. chat about nonsense with my Mum.
4. take those freshly aforementioned printed T's and put them on sexy models and watch a super talented photographer shoot them.
5. clean up the red dust.
6. prepare myself to reveal to the WORLD one of the most exciting thing to happen this year (or to the blogging internet world at least).



can you guess what my little secret might be?
can you tell me what your plans are this weekend?
