This Is what makes me laugh out loud:
Chris Lilley (wasn't a big fan of Summer Heights High, but We Can Be Heroes was excellent!)
And when my little girl does things like this everyday!:
Cracks her mama up/scares her papa to death (he thinks she is going to have a shoe and bag obsession like me...)
This is..... Sunday Lunch:
Yep - a good ol' pastie from the local bakery with HEAPS of sauce eaten in front of the computer whilst I catch up on either blogs or boring admin. Sentimentally, though, Sunday lunch reminds me of going to my Nans in Northcote and she would cook a roast for us all. The lamb would be beautiful and the roast potatoes perfect. Peas, honey carrots and mint sauce. SO should have learnt how to cook from her while I had the chance!
This is my favourite cup:
NB: I got it from a junk store in Yarraville that was closing down. It is so precious that it sits HIGH up on my kitchen shelves and NEVER gets used! I have a fave that I use everyday that's not spesh at all... Here's another pic of this one:
Well, I'm still here. I have been struggling through the ups and many downs of starting a clothing label and I think I may have prevailed. The Docklands Market that was on this Friday has been cancelled (they forgot to tell me - can you freakin believe it???) so I have been busting my arse to get stock made for it for nuthin! However, I now have more stock available for the retail stores and Etsy and 90% of the range went into Mikes today. Just in time for their Xmas Shopping Night tomorrow night (Thu) which I believe there are still some places left at if you're in Melbourne. I will also be slowly uploading Twiglet products to my new Etsy store over the next week and adding more stockists to the list on the webpage. There are some of these on Etsy right now:
Most of the range is on the flickr site for now and I am open to being contacted via e-mail for orders... Yay! Twiglet is here!!! Pretty please tell me what you guys think - I have been doing my own head in and doubting myself and almost giving up and very explicit lyrics have been sung this side of Yarraville recently. Feedback is very welcome here.
Other stuff:
Did Camberwell Market stall. Never again. People are stingy,rude,vultures and it's not worth the money. I got sunburnt, too. And Mahlie should'nt have come with. Thank god Pip and Cam showed up with jam donuts for me and whisked her away from us for half an hourish!
Hospital sent me a letter saying my iron levels are at 8 and they should be at 50. No wonder if feel so weak and tired. Otherwise feeling pregnantly good.
Went to zoo for Andrews 3rd birthday. Was fun!
Went to stitching night at Mikes again. Met Shannon, Lara and Natalie. Ate heaps of lollies. Did very little stitching.
We are thinking about going to Bali in August. Has anyone ever taken kids or babies there that can offer advice? Mahlie will be 2 and new baby will be 6 months.
Can you believe it's around the corner? I have done some gift buying/making but really, the list of stuff to do before then and before baby arrives is way longer than my arm. One thing I have managed to complete and send is my Christmas Compilation swap:
The background image is actually some fabric I bought for a huge project for Christmas (gifts and sales!) Here 'tis closer:
Things have actually taken a horribly big step backwards as far as the baby clothing label goes. It's a long story but put it this way - if you want something done properly and on time, you just gotta do it your darn self! I was warned about this from my fashion designery friends but of course I was certain it wouldn't happen to me... Ah well! There will be as much stock made as humanly possible and hopefully I can still have my pre-christmas market stalls. This fabric I bought from Leslie's Onegirl Gathers Etsy Store made me feel much better!
Hope everyone likes their C.D's! x
Somewhere online today I found this new shop! I already have some faves to drool over. Go and have a look - it's called The Curiosity Shoppe.
I love so many other things but I will let you do the discovering for yourself... x
I really did have the WORST morning. I won't bore you with details but it was like the universe had it in for me. Then I heard the postie lady's motorbike out near my letterbox and look what prints arrived! It made everything all better...
They are for Mahlie and ?'s new bedroom. The Black Apple had a "buy 2 get 1 free" sale so I took advantage. Geez do I have alot of art and photos to frame! Any tips on where to get good frames that aren't too pricey?
Another evening attempting embroidery at Meet Me At Mikes last night! I met some fab fellow crafters including Belinda and her gorgeous cushions and met Jhoanna again which is always a pleasure! Above are some pics of the stock I took in. I have been lying low the past week due to the flu and a 10 month old Mahlie monster suffering from the dreaded seperation anxiety so everything has kind of had to come to a standstill. But it's all back on again - more stuff going to Mikes in a week, stall at the Baby & Kids Market tomorrow which is a great chance to offload all our second-hand baby stuff that Mahlie has grown out of and well, that we just don't like! We are having a dinner party next Saturday night and Pete is beside himself, obsessing over what to cook and how to serve it etc. Actually, there are loads of exciting things happening in the pipeworks - all shall be revealed in good time, my friend!
Well, here I finally am. Not much to see yet but I will get there...Already just posted at blogger for the last time today, so the only news I have is that I have finished that Bjork Swan Costume for Ella in London. Finally. It was fun and all but gathering tulle takes its toll after a while..
