Accumulation

Fun dolls! Book from Sydney...
And the first project I'm going to make from fun dolls...gotta love the Japanese instructions
fabrics from Tessuti...
The new Curvy, Yen - one of my fave mags discovered when i lived in Melbourne, and Russh 
Don Binney book from the boy...
Mist in Katoomba
Roses...me is so lucky!
Pair of shoes number one...and new wool tights...
Pair of shoes number two...only $30 from Hannahs, and they're leather. Though they make me absurdly tall...

Thermal progress...

I thought it was about time to reemerge from the abyss where I have been hiding of late and share a few things. My sincere apologies for such heinous photos - i leave at dark and come home at dark. boohoo. It is all made better by decent food (my first real dinner in a week thanks to healthy food guide), wearing my snowboard boots around the house and being in possession of two new pairs of shoes. I actually have $3 in my bank account until Wednesday and I swear I am now going to hide my credit card in the worm farm to prevent further temptation. but hey, i didn't buy any clothes in Sydney and the last time i bought decent shoes was, um...2006. So i figure these two will do me for another two years. 

Last week was three years with the boy, and I was completely spoilt. Roses and a Don Binney book i have wanted for 5 years. How did he know i wanted it? he didn't. brownie points for him!!
The other pics...thermal is progressing, slowly. i am struggling my way through the first sleeve after frogging it. Damn being a perfectionist. I have spent way too much time on it to come to the end of the sleeves and it not fit together because of ending up with too many stitches.

Happy World Environment Day!

Apologies for being completely and totally blog-slack. Have been in Sydney and now work has wreaked havoc on my life...oh joy. Hope to get back to normal bloggyness on the weekend, with pictures of my stash aquired over the ditch. Typical me - tried to spend money on clothes, failed, so came back with books, magazines, fabric and a scarf instead.

I am in Sydney! On holiday, officially, though i just spent 45mins working through emails to sort out some niggly things...painful, that.

So far I have:
  • had numerous asses connect with my shoulder as people pushed by my seat to get to the toilet on the plane
  • walked around Balmain with my big bro (so much to look at! why didn't i take my camera?)
  • scoped out shops to visit tomorrow and saturday (Tapestry Craft are having a SALE and Tessuti (a fabric shop apparently) is just down the road)
  • worked. see my grumpy face
  • felt the need to collapse in a heap and sleep for hours - which i will be able to do in oh, about twenty minutes. bliss.
