Weekend Wrap Up!








The past weekend I spent road tripping up to visit the family and I took a special someone up with me to meet some new people and explore the area.

We spent time trying out some of my favourite places to eat at home and some new places that I haven’t had a chance to see yet. Once of these was a cafĂ© on the top of North Brother mountain, it was so nice and it has the best view of the area. There was also a Mother’s Day breakfast which (most) of the family came too so it was great to catch up with everyone.

I also had to introduce all the animals, and Dudley has definitely found a new favourite person. Some games of fetch were played but mostly he was content to lay in the afternoon sun with us. The cows and other animals are so much bigger than when I last saw them and their winter coats have come in so they are all woolly.

Overall it was such a great weekend. The weather was so fantastic and warm, it was lovely! We even stopped for a short picnic on the drive home which was perfect. I couldn't ask for a better weekend!

A Walk Around Newcastle







It has been beautiful weather in the last few days and the sunshine has been lovely! Yesterday I was surprised with a nice walk around the beaches in Newcastle. It was the perfect day for it and it was a very nice way to spend the afternoon.

Weekend + Studio Peeks



This weekend I:

-Spent time in the sun with my legs uncovered, possibly for the last time before winter. It has been very cold since then and now I'm all rugged up!

-Socialised with friends and went out for lunches and dinners.

-Exchanged some more music which I'm excited to start listening too!

-Seriously cleaned/tidied and organised my studio and sewing spaces as well as the rest of the house in preparation of our first house inspection.

-Took some photographs to share my studio space. It's no where near finished, there is still some things I would like to add and change, but I like where it is at now. Enjoy the photos!

Currently...


Reading: Trying to find a book in my current collection that I haven't read. I've managed to start a few but have lost interest quickly and haven't gone back to finish the book. A visit to the library might be needed soon. 

Watching: Offspring. I love that show, every episode just gets better and better! So much drama in the family, I love it!

Working on: Getting into a solid exercise plan. I am usually not very motivated when it comes to exercising and I often start something but give up fairly early. I am on day three at the moment on exercising on the Wii Fit. I do quite like using it and I have been excited to continue using it daily. 

Thinking about: Being creative. Sometimes I feel like I just want to do something creative but its hard to work out exactly what I want to do whether it be sewing, painting or something else. It's easier to get overwhelmed with the options and inspirations found on the Internet. Usually sitting in the sun with a cup of tea helps work out what I feel like doing. 

Anticipating: The next few weeks! I am planning to visit my family next weekend and it is going to be a busy one with my Dad's birthday and Mother's Day being celebrated together. Not to mention my sister will be visiting the week after for a very grown up winery tour and then not long after that it will be her birthday! Phew, I'm excited but exhausted already. 

Listening to: A special mixtape made by a close friend. I have been listening to it on repeat and I love it. It's fantastic to listen to music that I wouldn't have found by myself and even better when I like listening to it. 

Eating: Healthier! Lots of vegetables, some meat and more vegetarian options. Cooking for one is a lot easier, you only have to consider what you would like to eat. So sometimes that means the same meal twice in a row and sometimes it means having scrabbled eggs for dinner just because I can. 

Wishing: That my house wasn't so cold. It's not officially winter yet and the house has a chill already. Fair enough, it is an older house and it does have character which I love. I will be layering up this winter I think!

A Photo An Hour

And that was the end of my photo an hour project....to be completely honest I  forgot after that and remembered around 4pm that I had missed taking some photos! Oh well, it was a good effort I think! Breakfast, a new top, lots and lots of op shopping and then finally some lunch to cap of a busy day! 'Twas an excellent day indeed.
