The Warmth I Like

I'd like to be proud of what became of today. Starting off with a couple of things to help my mama with like washing the two little dogs and cleaning up a little while one of them got their hair -or more so, their knots cut off, leaving Poo-Chu with an uneven new "do". Peter and I visited a fabric store which we previously managed to stop by just after closing hours and I was left, locked outside and a little disheartened. Despite how unfortunate that day was, we actually made it in this time and the browse was haven. I mean, cottons in different patterns COLOUR COORDINATED though to my dismay, I didn't leave with any of them. But thankfully, I didn't leave empty handed either. With the amount of fanciful fabric, I probably would have grieved leaving with nothing. Peter bought me spandex which I'm absolutely excited about. And I hate saying that. Not because it's embarrassing, but because spandex. Stating how excited I am about it makes me slightly uncomfortable but their purpose is for a swimsuit I prototyped this week. All I need is lining and it shouldn't take me too long to have them done. 

After the seemingly long venture to Brunswick, we ate and promised to eat all that was on our plate. Never again could we order what we did and try to finish it. I mean, we managed to but it was a struggle for me to breathe especially since I made this dress myself. The classic silhouette doesn't accommodate room for too much food. We walked the food off in Altona and stayed there for a while. Posting these pictures up, I now see how we managed to 'somehow' colour coordinate. I love that anchor shirt.

Winding Down The Fast Lane


Almost 10 months ago was the new year which means we've already surpassed our Easter, most birthdays, three terms of school, mid-year intakes, graduations and received most of our taxes back. Without realising how swiftly this year goes by, we're still left complaining about how far the weekend is, or when the next holiday will be. I guess for me, it wouldn't be the same as I haven't been studying full-time for over a year now. It'll be time to get back into the swing of things next year. But until then, there's still a couple more celebrations that are on their way before the year is renewed and so many more things to be done. It's been three years and my best-friend and mother will be finishing their last year of Uni before entering their grad year. I for one, am looking forward to doing the whole "uni thing" again. I even look forward the the whining that will be me when the load picks up and the stress increases. Essays will be rusty yet, I'm still counting on them and goodness knows how I'll be coping. Summer is on it's way and though I'm not a major fan myself, I'm well over-eager for the warmer vibes, company and adventures to have before settling down next year. I guess what I'm trying to say is; I can't wait but it can wait.
