Stitching night at Mikes

I finally made myself get up and go out to meet some new people at stitching night yesterday at Meet Me At Mikes. Got to meet and talk to Pip, Brooke, Peipei and Mel. Being the awfully shy person that I am, I think that is not too bad for a start. I'll get to meeting other people the next time. :D

I didn't get very far in completing my pattern but it is a good start for something I haven't done in ages. Pip also made pears for everyone and I won a prize in the lucky dip. There were pretty cupcakes, biscuits, tea and cordial so all in all a lovely night! I'll need to go again to finish my tea towel. Hehehe!

Smacky smacky

Bobbi bunny enjoys apple.

Yum yum!

Chai chocolate! Yummy! I wonder what is it with me that makes me want to eat everything that says Chai on it.

An Aunty Cookie bag

I bought this cute Aunty Cookie fabric from the Magnolia Square fair last weekend and here it is in a bag already :D!

Cute shop window

Passed by this really cute shop window today. So many Kewpie dolls!

Visit to the Pixar exhibition

Went to the Pixar exhibition at ACMI today. It was interesting looking at all the various forms of illustration that go into the making of the movies and wishing I could draw!

Long lost poetry

While rummaging around in my boxes today, I found a collection of photocopied pages of a poetry book that I really liked a long while back. I wished that I could have that book so much that I kept borrowing it from the library. If I could remember what book that was now I would definitely buy it if I can find it.

A good sign!

Didn't put this up earlier because I couldn't get it out of my phone with my computer not set up. On the day that I collected the new apartment keys and went there, we actually saw a rainbow right before our eyes spanning right across the balcony! It was lovely and it was a really nice welcome. :D

Yummy!

Lots of strawberries at the market these days and they usually look large and lovely. They taste good too!

Another new beginning!

After a number of gruelling days & nights, we are finally beginning to settle down in our new place. We now have more space as well as a totally different view of the city so it is a nice change.

Bobbers was let out today for a survey of the house. She was quite excited and galloped all over the place :D (no sign of apprehension at being in a different place).

I approve of this place

Watch me pose!
