Good Evening
I hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend. Mine was fun but busy ~ possibly a little too busy for my liking, since all that activity has seriously limited my crochet time!
As part of the Blog with Pip course I’m doing, we’ve been given some homework, to photograph five things that describe our weekend. Well, since I don’t seem to follow instruction too well (oops!) I have a list of five things I did, and five photographs ~ but they don’t exactly coincide. I’m sure Pip will forgive me. 😀
Things I did on the weekend:
1. I went to the Design Files Open House. I’ve not been to one before, and it’s a pretty clever idea. Set in a suburban house, or converted warehouse in this case I think, it is a showcase for the latest Melbourne designers and artists. I will admit that it was a little too cool for me, but pretty clever nonetheless.
2. And at this Open House, there was Beci Orpin ~ autographing copies of her new book. Now, Beci is the coolest of the cool in my opinion. I have one of her books, and it was kind of like having a superstar in the room. Of course, I was too shy to actually say hello!
3. On Saturday, I went into the city with my mother, and friend Suse. We had lunch here and bought Christmas presents and decorations here.
4. I admired the photography at Winter Owls, and reminisced about my favourite Melbourne Laneways, and decided it was time to visit them again.
5. I thought it was time I started making Moo’s Christmas presents. This one is special ~ it has not one but two squeakers inside, for double the squeaky-power.
I chose colours to match her favourite cushion.
Impressive list and I can imagine Moo thought “this lovely ball is for moi” 🙂
Ahhh Moo gets an early Christmas! Moo is sooooo adorable!! Merry Early Christmas Moo! Hugz Lisa and Bear
Wow – is that all done in crochet? Very impressed! Love the Christmas pudding decoration in your header too 🙂
We have the same problem here too!
Lucky you going to TDF open house. They’re bringing the show to Sydney this year but I’m going to be away, so disappointed. As for Beci Orpin, I totally know how you feel, I did a workshop with her a few weeks ago, I was a little awestruck. But she’s SO lovely, you should have defo said hello 🙂
That is a lovely looking squeaker ball, and awesome that it matches Moo’s favourite cushion!
