Creative Space, #19

My creative space for tonight, I managed to finished quilted patchwork picnic rug. Im very happy with myself as I managed to do all the sewing, pinned them together and this and that took me less than 2 hr! I cut up the fabric a week ago and too busy too finished up until tonight, tomorrow is going to be the backing (which Im thinking plain pale pink or cream) and the binding will be cream is-latte color. I put all of these scraps fabric together and decided to make some pretty in pink spring/summer picnic rug,although Im not a big fan of pink but I don't mind this one.

Tomorrow is going to be a big day as I have to go to the market early morning, thinking Victoria market for weekly grocery shopping and hunting op shops for some blankets/fabrics and spotlight too. Also I have to start sew the dog blanket for the Beagle Rescue tomorrow night because they will pick the blankets on saturday.

Trying to take some nice photos tomorrow, as lately the past weeks I've been taking crap photos. Too busy to play with the camera and I think I need a bigger flash!

Shoepaholic ,#18

have to confess, Im really bad when it comes to shopping. It seems like I cant stop myself. Especially shoes and jacket! Im a sucker for cute or a pretty pair of shoes. Today, I had a shoes delivered to my door from ASOS. This U.K website have such a large range of clothes, shoes, accessories that you can choose from, delivery a bit expensive but take only 5-7 days to arrive to Australia.

I bought this very masculine/cute leather patent baby pink Dr Martens. Not my usual style but I dare to try something different. Turns out pretty cute with the right clothes! It reminded me back in primary school when Dr Martens so booming (excuse for the ugly yellow-ish color in pics, was a quick shots).

I was very happy today, Lil R also behaving himself and Bond too. So I will enjoy my new Doc tomorrow - perfect for rainy winter season.

Thrift finds, #17

Went thrift shop today,just randomly pop in and snapped a very nice tan boots and it seem never used. A pretty wool scarf and Hensel and Gretel book from the 80's for total $10.

Now Im thinking what to do with Lil R Birthday presents. He got massive (yes a lot of presents!) from family and our friends. He already got quite a lot of nice toys at home, from wooden blocks to puppet dolls. Now Im just not sure where to store all of his presents. Its 3 weeks after he turned one and this is the only time I gather all of them. And the photo below is just HALF of the presents!

Hopefully by the end of this week I will sort these things out. Im not sure if I even going to keep them Ssshhh... hopefully Lil R will not find out. LOL

Winter, #16

Made Bond a flannelette jacket last night, very quick one to keep him warm. Im a bit annoyed because I couldn't find any velcro in my messy sewing room (I know I had at least 2metres somewhere!) so I used ribbon instead. It turned out Ok for temporary jacket.

And this is what happened when Lil R out of my sight for 3 minutes. He is so quick! He's been climbing up and down since He is 11 months old. Trouble trouble.

Im hoping tommorrow weather is better than today! Im going to make few blankets for Beagle Rescue Victoria they need warm blankets,sheets old or new for winter months. So pop in to Op Shops and maybe Spotlight for some fleece.

Welcome Bond! ,#15

Okay, day 2 the puppy is here.So far so good. He is been toilet trained from the breeder and thats a relieved for us. We really worried bout him peeing and pooping on the carpet, but now its all good. Sleep, he sleeping with us in the room but not on our bed (he sleeping on the crate) and we hoping next week we will move the crate in the lounge room. The only reason we did this is only because he is crying the frist time we put him to the crate. Just like a baby separation anxiety, which my Lil R is experiencing right now!

Look, how cute he is!

This particular breed is very affecionate especially to their Boss (for Bond,Im his boss). He following me everywhere I go in the house and sleep on my foot when Im at the desk. Such a cute little creature!

Exciting News, #14

Hoorayy! Finally is the 28th, thas mean we are going to pick up a puppy tommorrow from a breeder. After a long wait (4months!) finally we can have him tommorrow. Im so excited and Im curious with Lil R reactions.

We set the pup bed etc and Lil R seems so interested in them, he even try to lay down on it. We will be getting a French Bulldog. I love love love dogs!! And French Bulldog is one of the most adorable breed (and its not easy to get them aswell, usualy you have to call a few breeders and be in their waiting list if you want a pup). Ok, lets move on! I got caught up here.

This week been such a very long week for me. Lil R teething,crying,being so active and he drained my energy. We did not managed to do a lot of stuff even missed playgroup and the weather is pretty cold. Snug up in bed, hang around in lounge room and doing freeplay was our this week routine. but thank god its Weekendddddd. So relieved.

More to come tomorrow, fingers crossed Im not busy with the new 'kiddo' in the house. Sleep tight everyone! x

Wet Cold Day, #13

Today was dark,wet and windy. A nice way to stay at home with Lil R. We had fun today at home,doing free play, and I finished my cutting for my quilt. Lil R was so cute today because he was trying to cut some fabrics, he grabbed the measuring tape and put it on the fabric then he also was so quiet (something unusual!) looking at me cutting the fabrics. What a curious boy!
Got the list of kids for Lil J to swap mail from Christie of Pigeon-Pair. So excited cant wait to help Lil J write or draw letter for them.

Now Im watching Grey's Anatomy while typing this blog, so entertaining. I dont watch many television show, not a big fan of telly but this show is soo so good :) Hospital,surgeons, and love story. Something different.
Oh and Im trying to set up flickr album , hopefully I will have it soon!
Have a great weekend.
