Preparations...

I always have trouble entertaining myself on the holidays. I try to make plans to do things, as otherwise I would sit around and do nothing. One thing I do enjoy though is getting myself ready for the next term (I'm somewhat of a work-a-holic). This time around we're studying Asia. I popped down to Victoria Street today and picked up some AWESOME things to turn into a display. I can't wait to put them up. I will take some photos when I'm done. I started by making a heading for the back wall. I'm quite proud of myself. I found a font on the interwebs and then carefully hand drew the text.

North Melbourne Market and recent knitting

Yesterday I went to the North Melbourne Market with my 2 aunts. They had an awesome deal - 30% off any Thread Den class booked on the day. I'd been wanting to do one for AAAAAAGES, so I took it as a sign. It's on in a few weeks and I'll be making this dress.


I also got these really gorgeous earrings at the market by Oh Dear. So so cute!



I think I posted on twitter a while back that I was knitting a cowl. Well I quickly finished it and have sewn it up. I think it looks awesome.

And finally this is my latest project. It's a scarf for Andy.

More panoramas....

Took Joey to Brighton Beach today so I could take some photos of her. My photography teacher suggested that it would look cool if I got someone to sit on each step. So fun! Thanks Joey! Click on them to see them properly.

Bye Bye Birdie

Andy and I went to the Flemington Market this morning to get him some socks. Had a wander around. SO many prams!! Bumped into Shellie. =) And I also picked up this. A little make your own paper bird kit. I bought 2. This is my first one. The paper is a french map. Love it!

The streets of Melbourne....

Two photos...

A little friend I purchased at Singapore Zoo.






My awesome new $5 watch from the Bugis Street Market in Singapore. Love it! It does this awesome disco flashing when you press the light.

Time flies....

I cannot believe it has been 4 weeks since we've gotten back from Malaysia. It has been so busy.



This week I started doing a DSLR photography course at CAE. I've only had one session so far, but it has helped me to understand the basics of my camera a bit more already.



He showed us a program that puts together panoramas really easily. I went back down to Brighton today to take some photos to create one. I know now that I needed to have less overlap and more photographs. Cause they don't actually look that much like panoramas! I took one other one and when I put it together it looked all warped. Weird!!
