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.

three things for an evening

Toasty in front of the heater last week with my fave red shoes that i really should replace...
The fabric i shouldn't have bought from a few blogs ago - i have no idea what i'm going to do with it (isn't that always the way with your favourite fabrics?!) so it's complementing my pile of mags on the table at the mo. And the beginnings of a pair of arm warmers to go with my snowboarding set up. There's nothing worse than getting ice down your wrist!


mmmmmmm lolly cake - for those who have never had it before (oh the humanity!) it's pretty simple:

crush one packet of malt biscuits

melt about 200grams of butter (no idea what this is in pounds sorry!)

chop a bag of eskimo lollies (hard marshmallow things)

throw in half a tin of condensed milk

mix it up, roll it up, roll in coconut and put in the fridge for a few hours. easy peasy!

And i finished the scarf in the photo - it was a sick day project - and got lots of nice comments on it when i wore it to work this week. :)
