Perfect weekend. Early morning run down to the Opera house and meander through the botanical gardens, followed by some Paddington Markets action with my cousin (picked up a gorgeous black felt hat as shown in the pic below - I am in love), and lunch down at Opera Bar watching the ferries come in and out, even sneaked in a gelato treat to top it off.
Yummy beetroot, pinenut and labnah (yoghurt cheese) salad.
Cuzzy catch up time
Sunday was a very productive day on the creative front. I mocked up the bodice of the vintage dress that I am making for Mazzy so that I can get the fit right before I cut it for real :S few minor alterations needed but almost there.
The green dress is what I am attempting to make for Mazzy. Simply stunning.
We then spent the afternoon up on the roof of Mazzys apartment in Kings X doing some creative brainstorming and planning for our little business (followed by tea and cake). Finally decided on a name - fingers crossed we can register it!!! All coming along nicely now, just have to keep up the momentum.
Found the best bakery in the cross called Infinity Sourdough Bakery - highly recommend the pumpkin, lentil and feta pie (and a piece of vanilla cake for after). yummo!
And yes the blazer is coming along. Multitasking is what I am about lol. Did I mention that I have lamb shanks cooking away for dinner tonight. Smelling amazing and making my stomach grumble.
Oh also bought (acquired for a few bottles of vino) a stunning antique side board / dresser from Mazzys lovely friend Anna, I now have a sewing space so can move my machines from taking up half of the dining room table lol. It has the most stunning legs and detailing - will have to post some photos once it arrives, as that is the next challenge moving it from hers to ours.
Till we meet again.
