What turns my light bulb on

I have racked my brain for the past week trying to figure out where in Dundee fuels my passion for designing, where do I go to recharge my battery's, basically what inspires me. I have no idea, I adore walking the dog at the Ferry beach, or up the observatory, there is always my love for Toast in the Ferry, maybe a jaunt across to St Andrews, Pitenweem and Anstruther but deep down they don't inspire me. Yes they allow me to recharge but I wanted to pick something that I have a love for, something that maybe not many people know about. So my place of inspiration... Drum roll please...The Chinese supermarket! Now before you go "WHAT!!!" Its all that packaging. Its beautiful, and don't get me started on the awesome dinner sets. Anyone that knows me, knows I have a fondness for all things Asian, this place is my little haven! So I suggest you all go have a look. They have currently relocated as their Gellatly Street shop is being refurbished, but currently you can find this little gem right next to Dundee Uni! Oh yeah if you want to read something that will make you think about Dundee as a whole being inspirational, you need to head over to Daniels blog! Hilarious! 










yes that is ducks tounge

A spark of inspiration

So my footing has been found, yet again this is just more photos (i hope you are not getting bored of my constant photos). Anyway back to the point. Project 3, the project where you can do what you like. EEPS! i miss the days of pick a theme from three that usually involved flowers, sweets or vegetables. After loads of heartache and sore heads I settled on memories and secrets, drawing on inspiration from a really happy memory of my trip to Malaysia (KL and Borneo). It was great looking back through the video footage and laughing at how stupid I look in a head scarf!

A year ago today

Just been trawling through old photos and pondering what I was up to this time last year! I was in India BABY! so I am going to plague you with photos because they make me happy.
