He's done it again...

Steph - how does he always manage to just nail it? Hilarious.

Holiday and Andrew

Oooh they are so sweet together! They should definitely fall in love, at least for a little while. They would just be too adorable a couple for words, little cuties.

PS - Holiday Sidewinder is right up there with January Jones on the coolest names ever list. Up there with Dagmar Rousset which I read about on Peta Pledger's blog today (I agree, totally fearless, elegant and shamelessly eccentric), and my personal alter ego - Veronica Jones. Everyone needs a glamourous alter ego.

Another New Summer Haircut?

Amen.

New Summer Haircut?

If only I could pull it off like Milla does.

Would certainly make the journey of growing out the old colour much much quicker!

I'll spend a long bike ride on the weekend (pending good weather!) thinking on it...

Favourite Things Friday #3 - Bangs

All from weheartit

These were supposed to make me feel wise...

But somehow I still managed to end up in a conversation with my nutty workmate about the way her nipples leak pus out of the milk holes when her piercings get infected, so I'm not sure they really worked for me...

Another Sydney Weekender!

Melbourne was freezing on the weekend, complemented by hail and rain. Sydney was also freezing, complemented by another dust storm. Choose your poison I suppose.

We were up in Sydney on the weekend for two reasons - to celebrate a dear friend's 40th, and to meet the newest member of our circle of friends - tiny little Lucas.


Blissfully adorable asleep on my belly.


And checking out the world over Pete's shoulder. CUUUUUTTTTEEEEE!

Less adorable when he managed to poo out the leg holes of his nappy and all over himself and his mat somehow. And then during that change, Belinda forgot what I have since learnt is the number one rule of baby boys - point their willy downwards in the nappy lest he pee up and all over himself and mum's party dress. Which he did the second he was dressed. Who knew?

On a selfish note, I'm glad he wasn't getting cuddles from me at that point - I made a new dress especially for the birthday party. It was extra special as it was the first (and at this stage only) dress I made completely by myself on my very own sewing machine. I tried especially hard not to cut corners and I think it turned out pretty well! It's from another $2 oppie sheet, and I cut up an old silk scarf I no longer wear to spruce things up a bit.



Pete teases me because it is the third time I have made a variation of this pattern (you may remember it from previous blog posts such as this one and this one) but it's easy, cute, flattering and I like it! So maybe I'm turning into a weirdo with a cupboard full of wrap dresses made out of sheets, but hey, he's the sucker that proposed to said weirdo!

I like her style...

Shiloh is R-O-C-K-I-N that bucket hat! You go girl!

Zahara is looking pretty snazzy herself. Actually, come to think of it, I wish I had her outfit now!

I made this!

Took this little number I whipped up a little while ago out last night for it's first outing.

I think that next time I will lose the pockets. Cute, but I don't really need any help in the bulking out the hips department, get my drift?

We went to Hellenic Republic for a late dinner - Hello! Yum! Amazing! Loved every minute of it. We were a group of 6 and it was just the right number to munch on a mountain of food to share. Perfect.

Oh and did you see? I also wore one of my most favourite pairs of shoes, so had to give them a little moment in the spotlight. Gorgeous! (And yes, they came with the flower! I didn't even attach them myself!)
