Apron for a Friend
A friend of mine has just moved out of home in her first place, and after a day of cleaning, she declared herself “Suzy Homemaker” – if she only had an apron!
So I decided for her house warming I would make her one! I made the pattern myself, and used material from my stash.
My friend adored it! I love the summery print on the material – and frangipannis are her (and my) favourite flower.

Brooches
A new little project for me - handmade brooches. Think I might make more and sell them on Etsy. We'll see what happens!

World Wide Knit in Public Day!!
I have a hectic day on Saturday, but I'd love to do this!!! Sign ups closed in May, but I reckon I could just tag along!!
It's worldwide - but for Sydneysiders...
Kris Howard from web-goddess.org, is hosting a gathering from 2 pm onwards at the Sidewalk Cafe + Bar: Lower Concourse, Sydney Opera House
Off Topic Rant....
Since when did it become "Ok to PICK things while in public???
Yesterday, I was quite disgusted by the behaviour of 2 people on my bus in the morning and afternoon. In the morning, a well dressed man sat opposite me, smiled then proceeded to pick his nose from Ryde to North Sydney (that’s about a 40 minute ride!!) I actually moved seats.
Then in the afternoon, a lady with an elongated pinky nail decided she would clean her ears with said nail. She fussed about with her fingers in her ear and then had the hide to discard what she had removed from her ear, onto the floor of the bus. I gave her a glaring look and asked if she would mind not doing that again.
It made me so mad that people can be so disgusting in public!! Where have peoples manners gone?

Getting Prepared for the Challenege!
My name is Bec, and I have a "Hoarding" problem.......
To really get into the Wardrobe Refashion Challenge, I thought I would go through my wardrobe and see what I can “re-fashion”.
I realised that
1. I have a shoe problem. Are there AA meetings for this type of thing?? This is only half of my shoe collection!!!! (buttons my kitty decided to get into the action too!)
2. I have WAAAAAY too many clothes!! The 2 suitcases, 2 bags on the bed and 2 garbage bags are all clothes that won’t fit in my wardrobe.
I think this challenge is going to me the world of good!!!
Plus – I managed to close up the circle and gave some clothes to Vinnies as well.

Slightly “cleaner” closet- still chockers though - there are 3 other doors filled with stuff!!
