Fabric Shopping – Melbourne Snapshots

It’s snapshots time!

Oh Australia, cheap signs like these are why overseas tourists become so confused about our wildlife. Why is a koala the baby on board the kangaroo?!

Lottie is learning lots of new tricks, she’s totally a top dancer now! I think she should go on some kind of doggie dancing reality tv show.

I saw these sneakers, it was like looking back into the 90’s, Sporty Spice would be proud.

We’ve been watching Cougar Town recently and I found Big Carl in a junk store ahahaha! Now if only I actually drank wine, is it less cool to drink cranberry juice out of him?

melbourne-snapshots375

Oh! Remember how I said I found that op shop in the city? Some of you asked for directions, well it’s inside the Block Arcade, near Koko Black.

You go down the creepy stairs towards “Dungeon of Magic” whatever that is… and it’s the Brotherhood of St Laurence boutique.

Lottie got microchipped and had some more injections. She was so sad!

melbourne-snapshots371

Totally brave though, she didn’t even cry. The vet said that almost all of the other dogs cried, go Lottie!

melbourne-snapshots367

She kept trying to jump into my arms from the table XD So cute!

melbourne-snapshots363

The second it was done she ran back into the travel case. She looks so cute staring out. She wasn’t a big fan of the other dogs there because they were all very loud and distressed.

The trees have been so beautiful lately around here.

Lottie discovered her love for tea and her annoyance that she can’t have any.

melbourne-snapshots348

She also learned to nap standing up.

melbourne-snapshots361

I saw some cute mannequins at Spotlight and decided I want to make one to display things at home.

melbourne-snapshots337

Some pretty architecture.

melbourne-snapshots339

We went fabric shopping in Brunswick, everything is *so* cheap there. I’m never buying fabric from Spotlight/Lincraft again. I’m really looking forward to making some more clothes. Cute work out clothes here I come!

melbourne-snapshots336

James enjoyed shopping for our Halloween decorations, these photos are from a while ago XD

melbourne-snapshots330

Worst halloween costume EVER. Seriously. It’s a bra with bleeding eyes. CANNOT UNSEE.

melbourne-snapshots329

We spotted some yarn bombing on park benches. It said “Tell me a phurphy”. No clue what it’s in reference to but yay yarn bombing!

melbourne-snapshots335

Some cute tea pots, I love that it comes with a basket for sugar cubes! I just love sugar cubes. And carrots. And having my nose stroked. What?

melbourne-snapshots328melbourne-snapshots321

A cute florist I saw while we were shopping.

melbourne-snapshots327

And more pretty architecture. Well a lot of it’s run down but it looks like it used to be very pretty.

Lottie decided to see if she could join the Kiss tour.

melbourne-snapshots293

And to end let’s go with some more cute puppy photos… because I keep taking them >_<

I’ve totally turned into one of those people who talks about nothing other than their dog… but she’s SO cute! And I’ve been stuck inside with her all the time until she gets used to being alone for more than a few hours or can come out too so I really haven’t done anything that interesting!

melbourne-snapshots054IMG_2041

I reget nothing!!!! Mwahahaha~

Cute Puppy Lottie Photo Spam!

It’s time for some more Lottie Loving 😀 (but not the kind she gives to the stuffed dog we gave her *_*)

She’s getting so good with her tricks now. My favorites are Shake and Dance, she is so freaking cute when she dances!

cute-pomeranian-puppy7291

These photos are a little old but I’m going nuts with taking photos now while she’s growing up so I can document it all.

The cuddling hasn’t stopped either, she is a big cuddler. She loves to run and fetch her favorite toy then jump into my lap to eat it. She’s awesome at fetch!

cute-pomeranian-puppy6823

In fact she’s great at jumping too! We noticed how much she loves to jump so James made her a jump track to do. I want to take her to agility classes, I think she would have so much fun!

cute-pomeranian-puppy7285

Of course, she doesn’t make it quite every time XD

cute-pomeranian-puppy7286

She likes to cuddle while we watch videos on the ipad.

cute-pomeranian-puppy7295

She still loves strangers, terrible guard dog. If we ever get broken in to she’s going to lick the burglar to death. We had some visitors from Brisbane and she became so over excited that she wet herself >_<

cute-pomeranian-puppy7249

Her favorite toy is the one that has slots for food.

cute-pomeranian-puppy7207

I managed to get her to wear a bow though! We’re still working on whether it will actually stay on XD

cute-pomeranian-puppy7204

She loved the new rug I made so much so that I’m going to make her a mini one. She really loves yarn!

cute-pomeranian-puppy7180

Her introductions to the outside have been only through the window at the moment but soon she’ll be outside and walking on the leash like a champion!

cute-pomeranian-puppy7151

She met the Lottie who lives in the mirror. She does not like EvilLottie at all. She gets very annoyed that she has to share her room with Evil Lottie.

cute-pomeranian-puppy6926

Bergamot is quite jealous of all the attention Lottie’s getting at the moment. I think Lottie may wake up with pen marks all over her face from evil Bergamot one day.

cute-pomeranian-puppy6895

This is the face she gives when caught being naughty:

cute-pomeranian-puppy6941

And she makes an awesome pillow:

cute-pomeranian-puppy6971

I don’t think there’s much point me explaining these any more, they’re all just adorable puppy photos!

Argh extreme love 😀 I know I post about her a lot but she’s brightened my life so much and every time I look at her it makes me happy! I’m teaching her a lot of new tricks at the moment, but I’m running out of ideas, what do you guys think I should teach next?

Super Cute Crafting Soundtrack

When I’m crafting I sometimes find it hard to focus. My mind tends to wander if I’m doing repetitive things so I either do it while we’re watching movies at night or listen to music to get me going.

I like to tailor my playlists depending on my mood so I have a “Let’s get cute things done” list with all of my favorite upbeat songs. If you need something to craft to you can come back to this page and listen to some of them!

Recently we’ve been watching som Korean TV shows like We Got Married so I’ve been in the mood to listen to lots of Kpop again.

Orange Caramel- Lipstick

I like about half of Orange Caramel’s song but this one is so damn catchy it gets stuck in my head all the time! And the music video makes me laugh SO much.

GaIn- Bloom

I love GaIn in BEG but her new solo stuff is so fun, this song is so beautiful.

IU- Good Day

IU has such a lovely voice and this song is so cute. In fact all of her song are cute.

IU- Marshmallow

This one is totally the cutest though, it’s got a gigantic marshmallow man in it! I laugh so hard every time he falls over.

Perfume –  Chocolate Disco

Not Kpop but Jpop! Perfume have some fantastic song to craft to, they’ve got good beats and are quite upbeat and repetitive.

Perfume – Macaroni

This is one of the slower more relaxing of Perfume’s songs which I like to listen to at night.

F(x)- Nu ABO

I hated this song so much when I first heard it but we watched the Khuntoria couple on WGM and I heard it so many times it grew on me. Actually one of my favorite songs now *_* Good for walking too, it’s hard not to break out into the dance though haha.

CNblue- I’m a Loner

These guys remind me of a 90’s soft rock band so much, LOVE them!

Secret- Shy Boy

Secret is one of my favorite kpop group ever! This is my favorite song of theirs because the video is SO cute. Their style changes so much between each song and I love their dances.

Miss A- Goodbye Baby

Miss A is another cute group, they’re a little edgier but still sweet. Suzy was very cute in Dream High too. My favorite song of theirs is Goodbye Baby because it’s got a great beat for things like knitting and crochet. You can get in to the rhythm well and by the end of the song your project is half done!

Owl City- Honey and the Bee

Moving on from k and jpop I adore this song from Owl City. It reminds me so much of watching Pushing Daisies which is one of my favorite shows ever.

Aqua- My Oh My

I am a child of the 90’s, I love Aqua, ’nuff said.

Aquabats- Hello Goodnight

James introduced me to the Aquabats and I think this is the cutest song. It always makes me so sleepy though.

Bare Naked Ladies- If I Had A Million Dollars

Now here’s a song which is nice because whenever James and I listen to it we spend ages afterwards thinking about what we’re going to do when we’re millionaires 😀

Cherry Poppin’ Daddies- Stay Just Don’t Stay

Again, child of the 90’s 😀

Billy Idol- Dancing With Myself

I like a lot of older music, I don’t listen to very much current music. If you’ve been reading my blog since before last Christmas you’ll understand my love for Billy Idol. He’s extremely awesome and this is my favorite song of his, not only because it’s catchy and upbeat but because the video is HILARIOUS. I mean seriously, zombies!!

I could really go on with these recommendations all day, I love music and I love songs that are upbeat and catchy!

Some of my other favorite bands are:

The Flight of the Concords, Frankie Wants Out, Jamiroquai, Jason Mraz, older John Mayer, every soft rock song ever from the 90’s, Motion City Soundtrack, Muse, The Ordinary Boys, The Stray Cats, The Voodoo Kreepers, The 88, Girls Generation, silly parodies from youtube including Schmoyoho. The list goes on 😀

In fact now that I’m thinking of all of these again I’m going to go do some crafting!
