Finally some sun

Just when I thought we were headed for some summer heat, the temps dived down and sent me running towards my coats which I fortunately still haven't boxed. That was three days ago. Blah!

But the skies have cleared up and here we are beaching.......and watching the watercraft. The harbour's quite busy when a breeze is blowing. The sailboats are out in fleets.


The kid had her first ride on a ferry this morning. She couldn't stop giggling and sticking her face in the breeze. Methinks we'll be doing more ferry trips this summer.


Also, I've been persevering. There's actually a few unfinished projects milling around. This stitchy thing is one of them. Not an original design, nope. I copied the bunny from a fabric print which I'll be tacking this onto soon.


As soon as I stop procrastinating which pattern to use for a summer frock. The frock is for the kiddo. I've been seeing a lot of cute dresses in the shops, but everytime I look at the tag, I think to myself I can make this. But of course, finding time is another matter. Gah!


Good thing the aussie dollar is so tragic at the moment, I'm actually saving some dosh. Or is it a bad thing? I think I just bought my last etsy purchase this morning but not before I figured out it would've been cheaper to get it local. Just as well my local doesn't stock it. I should be using up my stash anyway. The geezer keeps eyeing it up. I secretly suspect he wants to flog it on ebay.

Anyway, enough whingeing. Time to start enjoying the sun.

Hope everyone's having a nice weekend! Cheerio!

Wall of revolving arty

Am I really in blog denial? I'm secretly hoping the blog would scribe itself and I'll just think the words out loud. Apologies, bloggy peeps, for dropping out like that. But unfortunately, it will have to be that way.......as we're wayyyy busy right now. I'm so missing five months ago, when the most exciting thing I had on the boil was the next Sex & the City re-run.


But remember my dilemma? Well, its kinda sorta sorted. And apparently I'm practicing minimalism nowadays. Who knew I had it in me? That's what happens when you do a pretty major clean-up and ours was a super gigantic toss-out.

I realised after looking at all the pretty pictures that I needed some three dimensional stuff thrown in as well, just to mix it up. Ikea came to the rescue again with these shelves. And ta da! Here's what I managed to cobble together on our dining room wall.


Bonus is I get to swap out the decor when the mood takes me. And because I have to throw a kiddo pic as well, here's the little tearaway posing in the corner.


Hope everyone's having a great week! By the way, 10 weeks to the big C. Eeek!!!
