one handed design

Posted on July 5th, 2008 by Tracey

yep, that’s right! jasper’s been very clingy today, so it was either ‘not get the blog redesigned today’ or ‘tough it up and do everything one handed while holding onto J’ … and i did it!

there might be small bits to fix up but it’s looking alright, i think.
tip: you can open/close and move the sections to the right —->

jasper, by the way, has now fallen asleep – camped out on my arm for the evening, missing his last bottle & meal. poor little guy must of been exhausted

sex and the city movie

Posted on June 7th, 2008 by Tracey

reading cinemai, like the many thousands of people across australia, made it to the cinema’s this week to catch the new sex and the city movie! my sister treated me to a gold lounge ticket at reading cinemas – which was worth the price tag. free popcorn and soda refills, a (not free) menu of food and desserts, (wine/spirits/beer if you so wanted aswell) and BIG comfy reclining chairs to sit back and relax in

i wouldn’t call myself a ‘big fan’ of SATC but i liked the series enough to want to watch it on dvd now and then. i admit that i don’t know enough about fashion to understand what was going on with Carrie’s wardrobe, but i love the entertainment of it all – one big advertisement for as many labels as possible – all way over my price limit!

i won’t post about the story line, just in case you haven’t seen it yet. but i will talk about one thing i really liked – Carrie’s apartment!

i love her studio apartment so much, that yes i did recreate it in Sims 2 …. i love how functional they’ve made such a ‘small’ place. in the movie though, they redecorated it – updated it, and i love it:

the electric blue walls are amazing, i love the 2 matching love seats, coffee table and wall cabinets, i love that her desk is so simple and clean and i love the photo frames behind her bed.

for some people, they will drool over louis vuitton bags, and manolo blahnik shoes – me, i like furniture and floorplans. alot.

oh, to live onscreen with a budget as big as tasmania.

midnight cravings

Posted on June 21st, 2007 by Tracey

apart from the food cravings, i have some serious love for this rocking chair –

RAR rocking chair

$295…. considering we just saved $700 buying the cot, pram, change table, bouncer and some other stuff together as a package – should I spoil myself?

hmmmm….

i should go to bed.
