I have been obsessively designing clothes for Animal Crossing New leaf lately so I thought I would put them up here in case anyone wants to use them ^_^
This is the dress I will be wearing in game for the rest of December to feel a bit more festive!

This is my second favourite hat of all time. I mean it’s pretty close with the red Entrelac one but I feel like this one should get some extra points because I spun the yarn myself and designed the pattern as well…
This was one of the first yarns that I spun which actually looked like… you know, yarn! It’s an Ashford blend of merino and silk called Sorbet and the roving looks like a rainbow Paddlepop!
Spun up, the rainbow is a lot more subtle and it looks more like a soft pinky purple with a subtle colour shift every now and then.
The pattern is just a simple beret with an alternating YO/K2tog lace but I think the result is quite effective in showing off the yarn nicely. You can still see the colours shift in the light.

There’s nothing like looking through old photos to make you realise exactly how long it’s been since you were regularly blogging! So here I am back again posting and I’m not exactly 100% sure where I’ll be going with this but the weather is warm and this year it seems like I need some inspiration to get myself in a holiday kind of mood… So photos from several Christmas’ ago!
My hair was so long!!!
I think it’s impossible for us to ever get a photo where we’re all in focus, looking at the camera and Lottie isn’t doing something weird XD
Our tree for the year was lights strung up with little clips, simple but so effective!
And Lottie had her own little feast XD
We went all out with the food this year too.
Cheese and snack table!
We bought some seafood from the market to try out, of course we thought we were getting it all cooked but in reality… not so much! James tried very hard to make the Moreton Bay Bug at the bottom work but it was pretty terrible haha!
We made up for that with roasted veggies and some kind of premade oven turkey thing from Woolworths! YUM!
We did our yearly trek out in the afternoon to get some bubble tea and the weather was quite good!
Then the real fun started: NAP TIME!
We tried out the DIY slurpee cups that my Mum got us… they kind of worked haha!
The most satisfying part was smashing in that gingerbread house though! Demolition time! Then it was just back to tea, video games and naps 🙂
…and stupid amounts of leftovers 😀
