Unbelievable!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Ive achieved a lot in that time - raised a baby who starts school next year, gone back to work, completed my cert IV in Graphic Design and focused a LOT of my time on drawing and painting (and a little bit of time on sewing, crochet, lamp working, woodworking....etc!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If you're still here after 5 years and interested in what I'm up to you can find me on instagram @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/honidesign/">honidesign</a> or on my website rebeccamossdesign . com (without the spaces :) )</span><br />

<br />
I popped into Alannah Hill the other day and wanted to buy simply everything in the store....but the budget just doesn't stretch to those luxuries these days. So I made my way to vinnies and bought a plain red cardie and some silver glitter buttons from spotlight. I had some lace and sequins in my stash and I 'glammed up' the cardie. I'm pretty darn impressed with the results too! <br />
<br />
I also decided to make little Lucy a mini tutu :) can't get enough of baby tutus!!<br />

It's funny how people can say unintentionally mean things. I think if you want to do something then you just need to put your mind to it and do it!!<br />
<br />
So I've been knitting squares for charity (2 more squares done) glittering beads, sewing (a headband for lucy) and lots more. <br />
<br />
And of course I've spent a lot of time playing with my gorgeous baby. She provides me with endless smiles and is an absolute angel. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW8n0ZlQmEvmVarjYqLLaC-5pfJLA-P9v1a_z25BWSef6I2EBl9F5gkVuW50UYg4uP3ygdgxHl_IGjMV6-5BTMBqIohoQmp7jv25WeZeYuJnz_7ikgtN458xaCrvRXHzv52AZwTeze-SwK/s640/blogger-image--1829503686.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW8n0ZlQmEvmVarjYqLLaC-5pfJLA-P9v1a_z25BWSef6I2EBl9F5gkVuW50UYg4uP3ygdgxHl_IGjMV6-5BTMBqIohoQmp7jv25WeZeYuJnz_7ikgtN458xaCrvRXHzv52AZwTeze-SwK/s640/blogger-image--1829503686.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3G70nChF6eQK3qBCo8w8dMSKF_tDLYT-d5saTdtmMa9hiwau90oladSyB4wY5mM65CZDxpxk0f3HjiMAlod-82RKHJ1ajRdpYgAGF9RJs38X0ui9-9pN6ghE_03vMaWI76pPM75StBL6R/s640/blogger-image--312813790.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3G70nChF6eQK3qBCo8w8dMSKF_tDLYT-d5saTdtmMa9hiwau90oladSyB4wY5mM65CZDxpxk0f3HjiMAlod-82RKHJ1ajRdpYgAGF9RJs38X0ui9-9pN6ghE_03vMaWI76pPM75StBL6R/s640/blogger-image--312813790.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyGzBhNIZCzbhTHirVmEOg2JggWsobMKKUJSdDC5pYH8g0onGcASzsoiu-nKyxA6-58UpCDa-ZEnExtLFoNXEIlijIRC6MtOGSeMHq7vbYImTWGha85sApVlvKIlTCCpMX-6KxZfBrdHFD/s640/blogger-image-970281408.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyGzBhNIZCzbhTHirVmEOg2JggWsobMKKUJSdDC5pYH8g0onGcASzsoiu-nKyxA6-58UpCDa-ZEnExtLFoNXEIlijIRC6MtOGSeMHq7vbYImTWGha85sApVlvKIlTCCpMX-6KxZfBrdHFD/s640/blogger-image-970281408.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtO31v5-CwynRHe9A3bZsp9IimefuGTMwWMsx4E8VzO1VBGbugdidoAR8gZViDlBez3w5_6eQQtMU1GQVOmP2dcndYwlgdLo_qmtRsYQ8s7-SQxsttCnc92KSV0ryHYnjxyZrkwnEa28_A/s640/blogger-image--1038945031.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtO31v5-CwynRHe9A3bZsp9IimefuGTMwWMsx4E8VzO1VBGbugdidoAR8gZViDlBez3w5_6eQQtMU1GQVOmP2dcndYwlgdLo_qmtRsYQ8s7-SQxsttCnc92KSV0ryHYnjxyZrkwnEa28_A/s640/blogger-image--1038945031.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUqtBcYBtA0m8r6Bui98grPk4FqWpDrFK8yqZZw-tEzlUyOFyRheIIq1UluxIHM_kva-QQqmNSjbQADduskA_YucmRYqNe6kmNtXC7zUwO8VkCL0KVEzvEAXvpUrV21lozWTh0Tp3CzQpO/s640/blogger-image-543801005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUqtBcYBtA0m8r6Bui98grPk4FqWpDrFK8yqZZw-tEzlUyOFyRheIIq1UluxIHM_kva-QQqmNSjbQADduskA_YucmRYqNe6kmNtXC7zUwO8VkCL0KVEzvEAXvpUrV21lozWTh0Tp3CzQpO/s640/blogger-image-543801005.jpg" /></a></div>Bec @ honi designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05253821165116614595noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2631774413895306330.post-58891300711660692182012-07-29T12:38:00.001+10:002012-07-29T12:38:19.426+10:00Born to knitThis year I'm knitting a few squares for the Born to Knit charity blanket collection. Last year I rallied the knitters at work and we made 3 whole blankets. This year the lovely ditmeister took the reins and is collecting the squares. I've made 2 squares (pre Lucy days ) but now that we seem to have a little routine going with Lucy I'm hoping I can bang out a few more squares. <br />

But I've been busy making my greatest project yet... This little critter! I've been busy with awful morning sickness, tiredness, nesting and setting up the baby's room. There's been a lot of crafting but I've only been updating instagram (am honidesign on there too). <br />

I had an absolute ball and cannot wait for the next lesson on Thursday (it's a 7week course).<br />
Hopefully this will mean a whole new craft adventure for me!! (I'm not sure Mr Honi shares my enthusiasm for bringing another craft into our home- especially one that involves fire and molten glass!)<br />

<br /><p>If this blog were a child, I'd be hauled into the slammer for neglect with my child sent to a foster carer who would tend to the child like it deserved. Luckily this is only a blog, however but oh how I have neglected her and you dear readers.
<br />I'll give you my usual spiel – work is nuts. But I don't want to go on about that. I've realised I need to either shut-up and get on with things or leave my job. But I don't want to leave so I will just shut up. I will however take less 'to heart' (a frustrating trait to mellow) and I have also stopped the late hours. The dizzy spells, daily sickie tummy, nausea, headaches and blurred vision were my bodies "slow down" hints.
<br />
<br />There's been loads of crafting – jewellery making, gardening, knitting for Born to Knit – I even ventured into the world of Video Tutorials and have made several knitting and crochet basic lessons!! They've even been watched too! I did them for a few friends and was delighted to hear that 2 people have now learnt to knit from them!
<br />
<br />So why haven't I blogged – well, bloggging seemed to consume me for a bit. I've been a little obsessed with Pintrest and Instagram (find me as honidesign ) as it's so easy to share. Couple of clicks and I've posted. Will I be back – yes I will for sure. Maybe I'll actually post more over at 'From Shirley Withy Love' – they label under which I've been selling my wares. Speaking of wares, I'll be selling some more of my jewellery soon. I'll let you know more about that when it happens.
<br />
<br />For now, I'll sign off with a 'see you shortly' because I'll be back, I promise<br clear="all"></p>

I was surrounded by beautiful dolls and very clever, talented and wonderful peeps. <a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5104/5563366509_d714c58ed4.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 333px" alt="" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5104/5563366509_d714c58ed4.jpg" border="0" /></a> The work that people had put into customising their dolls and outfits was just incredible (see below for the “mini me” competition) and gave me some inspiration to custom my third girl on Sunday. <a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5098/5563386263_d7da1f50f7.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 333px" alt="" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5098/5563386263_d7da1f50f7.jpg" border="0" /></a> I received a heap of goodies and bought a gorgeous wig for Trixie. Once I put the wig on her – I knew she had to have some work done. <strong>BEFORE</strong>: She was ‘cute’ as Nicky Lad on the far left hand side <a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5011/5556681643_d22905dea9.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 375px" alt="" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5011/5556681643_d22905dea9.jpg" border="0" /></a> <strong>AFTER</strong>: but I think she’s quite beautiful now. I’ve sanded her face, given her brand new eyelashes, new make-up and I carved and painted her lips (this was VERY daunting!) Her hot pink glasses are now worn by Violet (in the middle of the trio picture) <a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5110/5563926308_21c83ce2c9.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 333px" alt="" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5110/5563926308_21c83ce2c9.jpg" border="0" /></a> I have a LOAD of photos over at <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/16899983@N07/sets/72157626237462111/">Flickr </a>– I took so many photos and have forgotten who owned each doll so I apologise for not crediting the owners of each of these girls! <a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5057/5563959238_42a6589067.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 333px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 500px" alt="" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5057/5563959238_42a6589067.jpg" border="0" /></a> I’d like to extend a big thankyou to all of the organisers for such a wonderful day – I had the time of my life!Bec @ honi designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05253821165116614595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2631774413895306330.post-22112932192034960622011-03-25T10:24:00.002+11:002011-03-25T10:32:09.252+11:00Sydney Blythe Meet UpMy Girls are all dressed ans ready for the <a href="http://sydneyblythe2011.com/">Sydney Blythe Meet </a>up tomorrow!!

I took out her factory orange eye chips and used some two part mixing rubber to make a mould for the chips.<br /><br /><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5139/5403809569_0e29fa0375.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 333px" alt="" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5139/5403809569_0e29fa0375.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />After I made the mould I mixed up some resin and let it set overnight. I wasn’t sure which side would work – the bottom half of the top half – I even thought of gluing the 2 together.<br /><br />Once the resin had cured I painted it with some basic acrylic paints and I used a watercolour shimmer paint to give the opaque acrylic paint a metallic look.<br /><br /><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5014/5404412896_42e9c2fb82.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 333px" alt="" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5014/5404412896_42e9c2fb82.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />There were a few “fails” along the way.<br /> - I used to coarse a grain to buff the resin which scratched one eye<br /> - The top half didn’t have the “depth” to it that the bottom half with the little knob did.<br /> - The bottom half worked best, but had a very flat and reflective surface to it. I think I’d be best making a deeper mould and sanding it into a rounder shape.<br /><br /><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5139/5403807565_60a0121868.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 333px" alt="" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5139/5403807565_60a0121868.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Overall I’m happy with my first attempt at making Blythe eye chips – I will definitely persist with it till I get it right!!Bec @ honi designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05253821165116614595noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2631774413895306330.post-21582418654173204102011-01-30T21:13:00.004+11:002011-01-30T21:35:45.225+11:00A Little makeoverLet me formally introduce you to Lilly.
