    I definitely love an outfit post any time!
    That first dress, with the musical cats, is a stunner, and so is the Hell Bunny one at the end! xxx

    That purple dress is glorious! I like the others, too, and the necklaces. But the purple dress will stay with me.

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...
