    Some very cute outfits and cool spooky fabrics! I love the unicorn skirt (which I think you've shown us before, so wonderful!) and those shoes rock!

    A fabulous round-up, I love your collection of quirky prints. The unicorn skirt inspired by the tapestries is incredible - have you read Tracey Chevalier's The Lady and the Unicorn?
    The black and white dress is gorgeous and I love your mum's tie-dye hippy dress, too.
    Lucky is adorable and wears his handmade bib very well! xxx

    Hope you're feeling better. Those prints are fabulous Laura! I would be hard pressed to pick a favourite...bats, unicorns and cats...what's not to like?! x

    Your dog looks very stylish for Chinese New Year. I love that bat print Dangerfield dress. The fairy wings earings are different. I have not seen them before. Like that floaty tie dye dress as well.

    I'm sorry to hear you were unwell, Laura, and hope that you are feeling better now.
    Love the round-up of outfits, and although I am having a hard time choosing a favourite, I particularly love the quirky novelty print ones. xxx

    Oh, I am behind, my apologies! I love seeing all your outfits - you have a great eye for fun patterns! Your dog is so cute (I snickered at "dog - secondhand"). Hope you're feeling better, my dear!

Queensland Holiday Part 1: Ripley's Believe It or Not

Image
DAY 1: Sunday We arrived at Gold Coast Airport from Sydney early in the morning and got a bus to Surfer's Paradise. Once there we got an early check in at our hotel in the Q1 building at about 12.15, and went out to look around. We checked out the shops and beach. We had an ocean view from our room and could see and hear the waves. DAY 2: Monday Day two's weather was punctuated by rain showers but we were doing mostly indoor activities, so it wasn't a big problem. We started out at Ripley's which was just off the main street in Surfer's Paradise. Ripley's Believe it or Not Robert Ripley  ( February 22, 1890 – May 27, 1949)  began his career as a sportsman and cartoonist. He was fascinated by unusual events and objects, leading to his "Believe it or Not!" comic strips which became very popular. He enjoyed travelling the world to find oddities and opened his first museum in Chicago in 1933, then known as the Odditorium. In 1936 he was voted the most popu...

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 sleev...

Queensland Holiday Part 2: Home of the Arts

Image
After Ripley's Believe it or Not , We took the bus to Surfer's Paradise's new arts precinct. Home of the Arts (HOTA) was opened 8th May 2021, and hosts performances, a movie theatre and art gallery. You can go there by bus or ferry. Ferry is more expensive but a lovely trip. When you come into the HOTA gallery, make sure you check out the stacks through a window. When you press a button they light up and you get a glimpse into the storage area, and some artifacts lined up for your viewing. Ground Floor: Brickpedia My partner and I grew up playing with Lego and really enjoy the Australian Legomasters series so it was great to see this. We haven't been to a Lego exhibiton since we were kids and there were some fabulous ones on Egypt and pirates. I am glad Lego is becoming popular again. A mushroom castle  with wonderful details inside and outside including "normal" sized bugs and flowers to show the scale.  Four sizes of duck Lego notepad A pizza farm with all t...
