iPhone owner

We got ourselves iPhones over the weekend. Finally ending our time being extremely backward, while everyone around us migrated to smartphones over the years :)

The first photos we took were profile pictures for each other on the phones and then of course some of Pixie bunny! She does not look too pleased at more new weird devices planted in front of her face. She is trying to glare dangerous rays at me here.

New teacup!

New year, new cup to drink from =)
Love how cute little red riding hood is!

Goodies

While wandering around yesterday we spotted a garage sale in a dress/gown shop where they were clearing fabrics, trims and stuff. I got these lovely items! :D

Market day - December

We had our last market for this year on Sunday. The weather couldn't decide what season it was - it was not summery at all but rather cold. Which explains the cap and T-shirt and scarf.


I also found this nice vintage tablecloth there!

Bunny sculptures

We got these steel laser cut bunnies (complete with shadow) from the design market today. :) There were lots of nice things at the market. Very inspirational! Kind of wish that I would be able to do a proper stall with marketing and all but I just don't seem to have enough drive to do it.

Bunny shoes!

I got these today! Since I couldn't get those with the bunny ears from Nordstrom, these are great too!

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.

Skipping girl bag

Tried using one of the panels I got during the craft fair. It was actually a bit harder than I imagined.

New cloth

I received my Etsy purchases today! 2 nice new pieces of cute Japanese fabric. I don't know what I want to make out of them right now but they will make something really nice!

My orange bag

Finished another bag - a beautiful orange one this time from Amy Butler fabric I bought. Lovely!

What's that?

We got the cardboard bunny from the Crumpler stand on Sunday. We went again because they said we could have it on the last day :P. Another friend for Bobbers!

Bag number 2

I finished making another bag today! This is a simple one I tried without a pattern made out of retro vintage material that I bought last week.

The Bunnard video

A friend for Bobbi

Went out to the shops today intending to buy any good chocolates that might be on sale after Easter Sunday. There was not really much good stuff to choose from - presumably they really all got swept off the shelves before the holidays. But I found Bunnard on sale at 50% off! After quite a bit of pondering, I decided to bring him home because he was too cute! Bobbi could also have a bunny friend.


Bobbi does not like his singing but she doesn't mind sitting around with him when he is quiet. =P

Super Grover, keeper of the Bunnalumps

Craft day!

Went to the Stitches and Craft Fair today. Walked around looking at all the lovely fabrics and interesting craft for almost 3 hours! Came out with a bunch of nice fabrics (I want to try making bags next) bag patterns and 2 packets of wool felt. Almost feel inspired to make a quilt even because there were so many nice ones there. Don't think I will have the time for that though.

Busy Saturday

Darlink went to Sydney on Friday for work and is spending the weekend there. I entertained myself fully for today - did baking in the morning, shopping in the afternoon and started making a stuffed bunny in the evening.

Here is the recipe I tested out from the Macro Wholefoods newsletter.




Note that this didn't have any butter or oil in it. As such, it is a little dry but the dried cherries I used (in place of cranberries) added some bursts of flavour.



Met Charli in the afternoon for a walk to Brunswick Street and ended up at Red Tongue for lunch (at 3+ after a lot of stops along the way and Charli more than $100 poorer :D).



This is what we both ordered because it sounded so good but turned out a little small - puff pastry, asparagus, smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce.



After lunch, we crossed the road to Hunter Gatherer and found that they sell vintage fabric there! Of course I got some. A stuffed bunny is in the process of being churned out as I type this.

Happy Chinese New Year!

CNY is here again! Over here we haven't really felt any of the festive mood at all, unlike in Singapore where everything would have built up to somewhat of a frenzy over the past few days and people will stuff themselves silly over the next few more. When we went out this afternoon past Chinatown, there were stalls set up selling Chinese-y stuff, foodstuff and a stage for performances. But it was way too hot to be any fun. It was a scorcher of a day. On the brighter side, I have CNY goodies coming from Singapore courtesy of Charli who is bringing them from Mammo! :D

We had dinner with Johnny and his new housemate John (also). Heard firecrackers going off just now in Chinatown as well.

Here's some pig stuff that I currently have on my table.

Barbapapa stuff

We got some Barbapapa stuff while in Tokyo (slippers, bath sponges, weighing scale - I always wanted one of those since I saw it on Ebay!). Thought they make nice colourful pictures :D

A cute Metcard!

Bunny Metcard 

Charli got this cute tram ticket yesterday. It's pink and it has a bunny on it. I like! :D
