Vintage modern flowers

I'm feeling a but flowery today! I love these cute target shoes I got last weekend for a bit of flowery cuteness.

I also went to my local quilt shop this morning to pick up the new vignette issue which is out. A few goodies slipped in too, this charm pack and some meterage of vintage modern by Bonnie and Camille for a quick quilt.

Here's to a stitchy weekend, there are no flowers around in the depths of winter so I'll have to make my own!

Travel plans Tuesday

Less than two weeks to go! We will be gone and back before I know it. I spent Sunday collecting the last few things I need to take with me and worrying about, of all things, what I might want to wear on the plane!
I am so ready to go in some ways and in others, I need way more time. I will be busy at school right up until the day before we fly out, with reports this week and interview times next week. I wonder if I will be able to breathe a sigh of relief when I sit on that seat in the plane next Saturday week? So much will be happening between now and then though, so I'd better get back to it!

Travel plans

Ok, it's not Tuesday today but last Monday was a public holiday and I spent the day trying on combinations of clothes, making lists and packing my suitcase. Tomorrow, it is 2 weeks until we fly out of Australia! My suitcase is full and just awaiting a few pieces of clothing which either need purchasing or washing. So excited!

Sunday stitching

Watching Downton Abbey this evening and I decided to work a little more on my Blackbird Designs Flea Market Souvenir. I think it looks pretty so far. I love the thread colours in this piece too.

My weekend lens

I got a new iPad this weekend and I was excited to try out a new app, frametastic. I filled the frames with instagram snaps from the weekend. I also spent time having a makeup try out, buying a pretty navy and white stripe maxi skirt, writing reports, having physio done on my knee, answering questions at school trivia night and creating and practising my freestyle dance routine with Zoë. All up a fabulous weekend. Tonight I plan to cut some more blocks of the Marriage Quilt out whilst I watch Downton Abby.

Winter

Winter arrived with a bang yesterday. A freezing cold morning but sun and blue skies to follow. I snapped this sun set around 5pm as I was leaving work yesterday. Lovely weather please hang around a little longer!
