Wordless weekend

Goodbye old stuff

COSTCO!!

Had to do that title in large letters, as everything is large there! I was taken by my friend a few weeksd ago, and thought i'd go for a second look- definately not as impressive the second time, but still fun.

We ended up with a few school snacks and staples....

leaving behind what we really wanted to buy! Wasn't I good?

(from here)

Needed another one

I just had a look back, and I don't think I blogged about my keepcup! I got the one on the left for my b'day in November, and I used it religiously for a few weeks. Then it became all too hard- here's why.

My coffee order is 'strong latte'. No, I don't want a long black with milk; nor a strong flat white. Strong latte is me. So when I gave them the (medium) keepcup, the strong factor was missing; they still put a double shot in the cup, it was just drowned out by extra milk. Extra milk I didn't want or need! I started asking for less milk, which then meant I had to remember to ask, and what is the point of a regular coffee haunt where they know your order if you have to tell them everyday?

So......

I stopped using it. Back to paper cups. Coffee was good. Environment wasn't. Guilt setting in.

Until I stopped into the Green Collective today and bought the small!! Cute, isn't it?

and I can change the colours around!

So I think this has solved the problem. Apparently the large keepcup is the size of a milkshake cup? May need that for my iced coffees.

My new coffee haunt has just opened, a great barista has finally opened a juice/smoothie/coffee place called liquid. Check it out! The best in the 'ville.

PS No website yet, but it is 3/58 anderson st yarraville.

My Creative Space

This is bit of 'unwinding' stuff I am doing at the moment- have started packing, and already feeling like i've had enough! So instead of boring you with photos of boxes (I though about it) here they are, from L-R: dress I was asked to alter for Little Miss's babysiter (free babysitting in return); some more Pocket Purses; denim cut-offs; cute cat. The cat is being soooo clingy lately, and loves leaving black fur all over the cream couch- noice.

Sewing

In between packing...OK, instead of it, this weekend I finished this shirt, that was cut out a week or two ago. I have rearranged the sewing space to be in the lounge room, telling myself if I sew at night while watching TV, then I have the day to sort and pack. Yeah, right!

Anyhoo, it's New Look 6781- this one, NOT this one.

(buttons going on tonight)

to wear to work tomorrow!!

My Place and Yours

I wanted to play along last week, and still might- the whole shoe thing....lets' talk in another post.

This weeks one is very poignant- this is the kitchen I am about to leave behind!!! This big lump of wood came from the side of the road when we moved in, and as appreciative as I am about it, having no other form of bench top/pantry in the place, I see it as a sign that my partner at the time was such a loser, this was the best we could do!!!!!

Things I won't miss about my kitchen:

• bench top/cupboards being on bricks
• Floor being bumpy, so lots of stuff rolling under said bench top/cupboards.
• a gap at the back so lots of stuff rolls down the back.
• Hard to clean under.
• Hard to clean around
• Unable to open oven door (at right hand side of bench) completely, therefore making cooking difficult
• Gap between stove and sink, with years of other people's gunk down the side...

Oh, where was I ? Just about the bench space, right? The cupboards have been useful;, once I got everything into Tupperware and could stack, but cooking involves lots of moving around of containers, and I couldn't be arsed half the time!!

Here's to 3 weeks and being in a new kitchen.......
