New toys, new habits and a new bear


Warning- random post ahead.
Had the pleasure of prerusing the aisles of Melbourne Artists Supplies to get my materials for my course.
On a completely different subject, I'm getting Back in the Habit with Lexi of Pottymouthmamma. For those of you not in the know, Lexi's determined to acquire some new habits and inviting us to join in with our own versions.

Mine are
-to wear a dress at least once a week, and not just when I'm going out at night. I often look around at other girls and woman in dress/frocks/skirts and think how nice they look and annoyed at myself that I'm too lazy or stuck in my pants ways to think of getting frocked up. I guess I'm good at also talking myself out of getting "dressed " up because of my sometimes messing bear work , in case I feel an urge to do some cleaning ( not likely) , and because I don't want to be cold ( i have a pair of those wool tights and a thermal underwear dress which is often actually warmer than slacks)
Which is ludicrous because as I own so many gorgeous dresses and skirts and they sit there untouched for the whole winter. SO I'm determined to get off my lazy bum, and I've made a good start today. I wore my first dress of the week. Above pics are proof. my self portrait skills are very lacking so you're stuck with a shot of my sexy legs, and the dress without me in it.

-to clean out my handbag more frequently perhaps at the end of every day or two, because it gets gross, honestly horrific.

And lastly a new bear I'm working on, I've temporarily abandoned bear from Thursday and working on this guy instead.

That dress is gorgeous - is it vintaaaage? How cute is it??

Awesome - glad to have you on the habit-making trail. I like your dress wearing one. Maybe I need to adopt that too.

This dress is lovely! I am too lazy to have pants on =D I Always wear dresses... I keep buying pairs of jeans , but I always feel more comfy with a dress on, well specially now in this super heat when I am pregnant - It has been months since last time I had pants on =)

This white one looks amazing so far!!!!

That's a great habit to get into! I've now bought myself 3 pairs of tights and a pair of leggings so that hopefully I can do something similar. I have heaps of skirts that I never wear because I'm too lazy or it's too cold.... it's all that trying to remember to cross your legs and be ladylike when wearing a dress or skirt that gets me!

I'm liking that new habit of yours, and I love your dress I have been wearing skirts/dresses all winter as apposed to last winter when my uniform was jeans. (Love reading that word 'slacks' by the way. Is that an Australian term? Must start using it more...) Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, I bought boots, finally and haven't looked back. Boots, skirts, dresses and scarves. Oh, and tops of course. That's my new habit. Hope to hear more about yours ps: Your new white friend looks lovely xo

Ooh, its all very exciting at your today. New stationary, new habits, new bear and new course on Wednesday. I hope this new era in your life is wonderful and very satisfying indeed. X

Damn. I know, in my heart of hearts that you are indeed right. But the mornings are frosty and I seem to do stuff quicker in jeans and a pair of Campers than skirts teamed with tights that droop at the crotch. Sigh.

New Bear is very polite. I just wondered if you'd heard his small but somewhat plaintive request for limbs?
