Day 318 - Shopping and Coffee!

Spotlight had a 30% off Sale yesterday and today and so I took myself along to pick up a few things. Amongst them, a set of red bedsheets, two more patterns, a couple of pieces of fabric and a set of Christmas coffee cups... Henry felt that he deserved one of these for his patience, once we arrived home :)

Day 317 - Finally Some Progress!

Not much progress, but I did manage to find some time to cut out my dress pattern this afternoon! Now it will probably sit for a bit until my reports are done, but all good things take time!

Day 302 - Coffee Time!

We went over to Civic for a bit of shopping this afternoon and decided to stop for a much needed coffee at The Coffee Club. Henry seemed to enjoy this the most out of all of us, as he got to share both Dale's blueberry muffin and my almond friand. He also got to play with our table number which somehow gave him much enjoyment! Oh, you may notice his new reversible hat, made by Nanna with fabric that I bought a few weeks ago at the Handmade Markets. He rarely takes it off these days.

Day 296 - A New Project

Inspired to make a dress this week, Mum and I went over to Lincraft this afternoon with Henry in tow, so that I could pick out a pattern and some fabric. Although Henry usually likes shopping, I have to say that it is very different now that he is walking and he is not quite so happy to sit in his stroller! Content with a vegemite sandwich after being in the store for about 15 minutes I made the 'mistake' of unbuckling him. He had the best time (practically) running around the store, bellowing and laughing, but was not too happy when it was time to get him back into the stroller! Third time lucky after Mum found a piggy bank that he could see his reflection in (seemed to make him quiet!) he was somewhat easier to 'contain'! Anyway, the above is my chosen fabric... now to get cutting!

Day 274 - To Market, To Market

The Handmade Markets were on this weekend and so Mum, Henry and I went along for a look and to buy a few nice things. I have been after some new red beads to wear and I found this funky necklace by "Six in a Row", who I am pretty sure I have bought a similar style necklace from before. I also bought some fabric from the Japanese fabric stall for Mum to make a new reversible bucket hat for Henry and of course some delicious macaroons from the same people that sell them at the Bus Depot Markets (Curious Chocolatier). We got lemon, raspberry cheesecake and lime and coconut. The raspberry cheesecake was definitely the favourite for me.
