Tea Cosy Expo

The annual Tea Cosy Expo on the Central Coast is run by the Lions Club. This year it was on the 11th-13th of June. It was the first time I managed to go as I kept missing it in the past.

I was glad we went early on the first day, a lot of the tea cosies had already been sold but I was able to purchase this cute orange house! It probably would have been sold if I arrived much later!

Obviously I wanted to wear an  Alice in Wonderland themed outfit:


Teacup pendant: at a market ages ago
Pocketwatch pendant: present ages ago
Brooches: Jubbly Umph and unsure
Jacket: secondhand no label
Blouse: Tokito secondhand
Dress: Sakkas
Socks: eBay probably


Shoes: Hot Chocolate design
Bag: eBay

    What a fun and whimsical event! I like the cottage tea cosy you bought. The Christmas pudding one caught my eye! And you dressed so appropriately to attend, well done!

    I love the idea of an annual Tea Cosy Expo. What fun! Love the orange house you bought. I think I would have gone for the beehive!
    Your outfit is gorgeous too, the striped socks and pocket watch pendant are the perfect whimsical touches! xxx

      I definitely would have got the beehive if it was available. It was probably the first one to sell!

    The tea cosies are wonderful! The dragon one is my favorite.

    I'm quite taken by our outfit, too.

    I applaud your purchase choice and the other ones you would have bought - there are so many cute ones! I gave away my teapot ages ago (I never used it), so I don't have much use for cozies, but I remember my grandmother making the classic floral ones.

    Love your Alice-inspired outfit! So adorable! The striped socks and the bag are awesome.

Quilt Cover to Cottagecore Dress!

Image
This one has been a long time coming! I took a lot of breaks due to some issues and learned a lot along the way! It all began when I found a secondhand quilt cover with two really pretty patterns: I used my go-to pattern for the skirt. I went with the longer length skirt (view A and B) with the ruffle from the edge of the quilt cover on the bottom. The ruffle. I initially cut out a different bodice but I didn't like the fit. I d ecided to combine the two different fabrics into a Gunne Sax inspired dress with the bodice cut from remainders of both fabrics and a different bodice pattern.  The bodice pattern I chose. The new bodice pieces. After that I abandoned the project for quite some time. The centre bodice and side front pieces refused to line up right. I checked and made sure I had cut them out right and I had. I received advice that I needed to notch them and they finally lined up!  For the sleeves I had a limited amount of fabric so I had to go with quite small cap sleeves. G

Update

 Hi there, it's been a long time since I visited blog land!  Life has been really busy and I have not had any time to write or make videos! Blogging and commenting have fallen by the wayside of my schedule! Thanks to lovely Bracken for asking about my stories, I have written a couple of short stories but I haven't had time to edit them. I am thinking of self publishing a little short story collection but I haven't had time for that either! I have had a few adventures and done some crafts, hopefully I will get around to posting pictures eventually!

Melbourne Day 5 and 6

 DAY 5  THURSDAY: Melbourne CBD A little sparrow at the markets, I think he was waiting for his coffee order. Vegan cupcakes at the market On Thursday morning we caught the tram to the Queen Victoria Markets. I got another iced decaf coffee. Jon got a breakfast burger. The market was only partway full (there were so many empty spaces) and most of it was the same cheap clothes, tourist merchandise and expensive leather goods. We got a couple of cute presents and a Wednesday tee for $20. We did get a Melbourne magnet for our fridge because I realised a while back having cheesy merchandise from holidays is fun.  After looking around the markets, we headed back to the deli hall for lunch (the food court was closed for renovations). I grabbed a vegan pie and a Biscoff cupcake from a Ferguson Plarre's Bakehouse. The pie was really amazing!  Jon got prosciutto and salmon wrapped cream cheese . There weren't really many places to sit as there was no food court and most of the seats wer
