Day trip up the mountains

Had a great day trip up to the Dandenong area yesterday with Eva, Grace and Simone from ATP with our Blythes and it was trĂ©s fun! The girls didn’t have anything new to wear for the meet, so I whipped up two handsewn corduroy overalls for them the night before. It’s nice to finally be able to use some of the cord material I bought at Lincraft eons back.

Didn’t really enjoy getting up early to catch the train from Flinders by my lonesome, but I treated myself to a Belgian waffle with maple syrup from the station, so it wasn’t too bad. And Grace and Eva met me at Glenferrie station for the rest of the journey up. :D

Spent a glorious (albeit VERY chilly and foggy) day in Sassafras and Olinda lunching at Miss Marple’s and popping into the tea shop next door for a peek and photos. Also went across the road to a toystore and scored myself a new carry case to put the girls in at nearly half the price with a little bargaining on my part. Sweeeeeeet as. Went around taking photos in the lovely setting found practically everywhere in that area, and headed back to Simone’s place for tea, chat and a little customising. It was great to meet her hubby, daughter (I adore her little curls!) and the cats. Mmm, cats. Took the train back with Eva and had korean for dindin with her. Scrummy. A big thank you to her and Jack for the ride home too.

Was going to head out to a classmate’s birthday bash that evening, but by the time I got home, I was so blissfully exhausted that I didn’t really want to head out again. Why spoil a good day by the possibilities of loud music and drunkenness behaviour? Unless that’s your idea of fun on a saturday. ;)



Out to the ranges tomorrow

Heading out to the Dandenong area tomorrow for a dolly meet with Simone, Eva and Grace, and can’t wait! It should be nice and cold (but sunny!) tomorrow, so it would be perfect for photos. Camera’s all charged, and now all I have to do is finish up a dress I’m sewing for the occasion, and decide which girl to bring along.

In other news, I’ve finally started doing something about my dolly fund. Put some items up on TIB for sale, and have sold quite a few items, so I’m happy. Now all I have to do is resist spending any of it before I reach the target amount. Must. Not. Look. On. Ebay. ><



Getting nippy

It’s getting a tad chilly here, and I find great comfort in my many many cups of tea (and sometimes, just hot water), and shuffling around in my uggies. Mmmm. Pity there the apartment doesn’t have a fireplace.

That said, I still wear my thongs out practically everyday. :D



Exam prep

Before my life can get interesting, I’m slapped with the realisation that exams are less than 3 weeks away (thank you, countdown timer!). So it’s time to hit the books. :( I sort of wish it’ll just all start sooner so I can get it over and done with, but really, who am I kidding? I’m not even vaguely prepared for it.

Oh why did I piss fart around for the whole semester?!
