Architecture and Flowers – Melbourne Snapshots

It’s been so rainy lately, I love it!

Melbourne-Snapshots713

The city looks so beautiful in the rain.

Melbourne-Snapshots717Melbourne-Snapshots723I look slightly less beautiful in the rain XD

Melbourne-Snapshots742

The trees are competly green now and it makes for the most amazing scenes during the day.

Melbourne-Snapshots731Melbourne-Snapshots733Melbourne-Snapshots727

We’ve been trying to make new dishes but very cheaply so we can get more variety in our food at home. I love trying new things and James made arancini for the first time. YUM!! What are your favorite dishes when you’re budget conscious? I want to try them all!

Melbourne-Snapshots706

James whole heartedly approves haha.

Melbourne-Snapshots711Melbourne-Snapshots747

I saw this awesome cat palace thing and I was so tempted to buy it for Lottie in a different colour, she would LOVE it! She is obsessed with climbing stuff, I think she’s a cat XD

Melbourne-Snapshots748

The big wheel at Docklands looks like it might be finished soon. They’ve been rebuilding it for so many years now *_*

Melbourne-Snapshots750

Architecture time!

Melbourne-Snapshots744

And beautiful flower time! I love the colours in these!

Bonus pic, I leave you with the creepiest advertisement I’ve ever seen. I saw it on the side of a van for a water purifier company. They look so evil *_*

Happy Billy Idol Day, Merry Christmas or Whatever You Celebrate

Happy Billy Idol Day!! (Or you know whatever you guys celebrate…)

We are having an awesome day out together and playing Assassins Creed Revelations 😀

I hope you’re all having a wonderful day too whether you’re spending it with family, reading a book or like we are: eating a heap of delicious food, playing video games and napping together as a pack! It’s so awesome having some time off to relax and be together.

If you want to get in on the action please enjoy listing to Billy Idol’s terrible/awesome Christmas album. If you want to skip right to his non-Christmas awesome songs that’s acceptable too 😉

Billy Idol – White Christmas

Billy Idol – Jingle Bell Rock

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Picnic At The Botanical Gardens – Melbourne Snapshots

Guess who got to go running around the park for the first time at her very own picnic?

Melbourne-Botanical-Gardens33

The answer is JAMES!!

No seriously it was Lottie.

Melbourne-Botanical-Gardens32

We had a lovely picnic at the Botanical Gardens.

Melbourne-Botanical-Gardens17

We had a really casual day out  it was lovely to just chill and relax with friends.

Melbourne-Botanical-Gardens36

Lottie spent most of the time guarding our picnic supplies from the evil seagulls.

Melbourne-Botanical-Gardens45

Melbourne-Botanical-Gardens66

Damn you evil seagulls!!

Melbourne-Botanical-Gardens25

And damn you swan!

Melbourne-Botanical-Gardens76

She did manage to take time out of her busy schedule to steal some tuna sandwiches while no one was looking. Serious mischief!

Melbourne-Botanical-Gardens39

There are some very suspicious gaps here Lottie!!

Melbourne-Botanical-Gardens42

Lucky she didn’t get into the other supplies 😀

Melbourne-Botanical-Gardens43Melbourne-Botanical-Gardens81Melbourne-Botanical-Gardens72

She was so excited that she ran for several hours, she didn’t stop at all *_*

Melbourne-Botanical-Gardens67

Lottie enjoyed licking Toby and Celina to death.

Melbourne-Snapshots801Melbourne-Snapshots797

James enjoyed the tiny coke cans. Apparently they made him feel like a giant.

Melbourne-Botanical-Gardens74

Lottie enjoyed trying to drink from fountains.

Melbourne-Snapshots789

And of course I was more interested in taking photos of pretty flowers.

Melbourne-Botanical-Gardens95

I can’t wait to go back to the gardens for a day and just wander around taking photos.

Melbourne-Botanical-Gardens82

It seems like it will be so nice to spend an afternoon there just wandering around, taking photos, playing with Lottie and maybe taking a little nap!

When we got home Lottie slept for more than 4 hours after being tired from all the excitement!

 

Rainy Day Photos – Melbourne Snapshots

Melbourne-Snapshots612

We like to go out on rainy days. I love the rain so much.

Melbourne-Snapshots615Melbourne-Snapshots614

James found himself a baloon. At least he didn’t name this one, the last one was named Bobert >_<

Melbourne-Snapshots619

He then got in a fight with it and murdered the balloon.

Melbourne-Snapshots621

This was on Melbourne Cup day. For international readers, that’s the biggest horse race in Australia and everyone here takes the day off. I didn’t get to go to Flemington but this was the closest I got XD

Melbourne-Snapshots624

I’ve been shopping around for some christmas decorations but I think I’m going to make it all myself this year.

Melbourne-Snapshots628

It was really warm that day even though it was pouring rain so we stopped for icecreams.

Melbourne-Snapshots643

James sprayed himself in the face at a water fountain and no one was in the least bit surprised.

Melbourne-Snapshots636

Now some pretty architecture from a bridge we walk Lottie under.

Melbourne-Snapshots677Melbourne-Snapshots683

Melbourne is such a pretty city.

 

Melbourne-Snapshots685Melbourne-Snapshots688

There are some really beautiful flowers along our walk too.

Thank you for a wonderful year!

 

Just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful year and show you how I made our Christmas cards this year! I guess it’s really more of a thank you than a tutorial because it goes so fast but you can pretty much get the idea!

To make your own here are the steps!

You need:

  • Paper
  • Scissors
  • Photo
  • Glue
  • Pen
  • Ruler

To make the cards:

Fold a piece of paper in half and cut it so that there is even space around the photo. You can trace around the photo so you know where it goes.

Draw an X between the corners.

Cut out the middle section leaving enough of it to be able to fold back and create a frame.

Fold the flaps back to create a frame and glue down.

Get another piece of paper and fold it in half.

Cut it down to the same size.

Sandwich the photo in and glue it all together.

Write a nice message inside and decorate it.

Done!

Happy Holidays, Thanks For A Wonderful Year!

This is almost like a Friday Fun video… except it’s Wednesday 😀 Totally counts though… Just wanted to say thank you all for a great year, I can’t wait for next year!

Automatically translated by machine. Hello everyone!
Just a quick video today to let you guys know about all of the cool things which are happening in December!
And keep you up to date with everything.
You guys might know that on my second channel, every couple of months we do a whole months of vlogs.
We’re doing that in December again.
We did it in December last year and it was really fun and we figured why not!
Make sure you head over to my second channel which is… somewhere.
It’s VioletsVlogs and subscribe if you want to keep up to date with us in December.
And we’ll be doing lots of cool and random things including live morning make up, I think we’re doing the Boyfriend Does My Make Up tag today which is going to be interesting.
We’ll see how that goes!
There’s heaps of footage as well, my little puppy.
She’s always running around and getting in between me and the camera.
Also I know a couple of people have been asking about the Bergamot Bunny stuff.
There’s actually a whole new range of Bergamot merchandise available for Christmas/the holidays/whatever.
So many sure you check out her website and store.
There are heaps of cartoons going up on her website too every couple of days a new thing pops up.
And Lottie’s featuring in those too because you just can’t keep her out of things!
Much to Bergamot’s irritation.
That’s about it.
This video was just to say thank you guys so much for supporting me all year and I can’t wait for next year, I think it’s going to be so much fun!
If you have any requests, as always let me know!
Thanks so much again!
Bye!
Violet cuts out paper with scissors and puts it together in fast motion.
She decorates is and then writes a note.
Dear subscribers. Happy Holidays!
Love Violet. Thanks for everything this year and look forward to next year, it’s going to be big!
