hello again

Hello! I do seem to have some commitment issues with my blog of late. Don't mind me if I pop in occasionally to say hello, sometimes with a quick update, sometimes with some internet finds or maybe some shout outs to some new bloggers I've discovered.

I hope you are well!

lately

Guitars, guinea pig's and opshop finds.

I'm going to join the Fleamarket Finds meme, if there is one thing I can do with my toddler these days it is to visit opshops. Lets hope it lasts! And I'm so glad he got over the opshop phobia stage.

opshop finds

I've been having some opshopping success lately. My happiest purchase has been these soup mugs and bowl. I think it's now becoming a bit of a collection.

knitting

A very long time ago I set myself a knitting challenge to learn to make these booties. After a few failed attempts and re-runs on YouTube I managed to surprise myself and knit with four double pointed needles. Infact, I find it very addictive. Who would of thought!

Professional knitters look away, you are bound to find mistakes.

With a hint of cool freshness in the air I began to think about Autumn dresses.

saturday

Today Luka and I made my "world famous" cheesecake. We used chocolate tiny teddies for the base and Luka had the task of licking the beater clean. Once a job assigned to me pre-child but I guess there are some things one must give up.

* It's only world famous because it makes it sound mighty impressive when I say I'll bring my "world famous" cheesecake to gatherings.

twenty twelve

A new year, a renewed motivation. I've finally had a chance to re-organise my space over the Christmas break, so I'm ready for 2012 both online and off. I hope you have had a good start to the year so far!

merry christmas

I've been visiting the opshops this Christmas, nothing I love more than vintage Christmas finds. Some opshopped gifts are under our tree this year, I hope they are appreciated.

Wishing everyone a wonderful and festive Christmas!
