Recently I received the Very Inspiring Blog award from pdiddly and also from janessewandtell, thank you so much Pauline and Jane!

But I just had to laugh a little bit... my 2012 round-up post attracted a comment, Anonymous of course, that read something like this...
Congratulations. I think your blog is the most up your own ass (sic) blog I've ever come across.
My typical knee jerk reaction is to spam those mean-spirited comments, only now I wish I hadn't because in retrospect it's kind of hilarious, isn't it? Maybe I should make up a button and all. Except I have absolutely zero skills in the button-making department. Would anyone like to receive that blog award? :D
Anyways; inspiration, inspiration... now I do know you're supposed to write stuff about yourself here, but: well since I am taking part in the cloth habit Bra-sewalong masterminded by Amy at the mo' my brain is stuffed full to overflowing with thoughts of lingerie! and I thought I would share with you some of my current favourite inspirations instead... some colourful and funky, some cute, some eclectic, some ethereally beautiful, all have something to give one some great ideas, yes?

If you haven't yet; do these lovelies inspire you to attempt your own lingerie??
I am passing the Very Inspiring blogger award onto:
I have been making some weird looking things... not very inspiring stuff I'm afraid.
This is my meagre progress in the sew-along so far ;) 3 tester bras. At least I think I have correctly identified my size at last.
Because of one rather weird result I got in one online bra-size calculator, which I didn't want to just dismiss summarily without giving it the smallest benefit of the doubt; I also made up a 32C tester, the top bra pictured above. Well, it was utterly ridiculous on me. I quietly left that one out of the Flickr group!! The other two are 34A (what I thought I was) and 32A (what I am).
And I have made my two pairs of matching undies already... they are now sitting on my sewing bench just awaiting their bra!
