Adventure Time, Summer and Curry – Melbourne Snapshots

Late Halloween snapshots are late XD

I was Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time and James went as Finn. Lottie was Jake too but she declined photos haha.

This is officially the laziest costume ever, I just coloured my hair with pastels and made the crown. The rest I had in my cupboard!P1100472

James and Toby (who was a pumpkin)!

P1100479

And Celina who was a mouse. Lottie had a quick costume change to be a witch but it didn’t last long.

P1100480

Instead of carving pumpkins (because they are freaking expensive) I carved a capsicum (which was still $3.00!!!).

P1100484

Totally the same thing 😀

P1100489

We spent the night trying to watch scary movies and eating waaaay too much candy.

P1100522

The boys accidentally spilled the mocktails all over our new couch, here is James re-enacting -_-

P1100529

James put TOO much effort into the food, it was all delicious. There may have been a minor fire but we’re not talking about that >_>

P1100518

Celina gave me my Christmas present early, they made me guess what it was and I’m terrible at that!!

P1100509P1100511

TAADAAA dress makers dummy!

P1100512

I was so excited and I can’t WAIT to start using it, it’s going to make sewing so much easier!

Within about 10 minutes of having it I couldn’t help start to drape something XD

Lottie got her first day out and was both thrilled and terrified XD

P1100534P1100530

It’s been getting dark much latter. It really messes with my brain when it gets dark at 6pm one night and then 9:30 only a few weeks later *_* It feels wrong eating dinner  before it’s dark!

P1100552P1100569

But it does make for pretty photos!

P1100572P1100575

The last orange leaf around our apartment. Very pretty.

P1100579P1100581

So bright *_*

P1100592

We were lucky enough to have Vanessa from Nessbow visit us too!

P1100384

Lottie isn’t great at posing for photos XD

P1100383

Now that it’s Summer it’s getting warm enough to enjoy Bubble Tea again! I miiiiiised you bubble tea!

P1100391

James made little rice men having a spa in our curry too. I’m very lucky to have a man who will create food scenes to make me laugh. That seems random enough to end this on 😀

P1100438

It’s time for another month of Vlogs!

Hello! It’s that time of year again, it’s time for a month of Vlogs!

We were off to a bit of a bumpy start with them but we’re getting along find now!

The first lot are going to be posted here today and the rest will be included in the Round Ups on Mondays from now on.

Now I have a phone with a good enough camera and I can upload directly from the phone I’m finding it much less stressful than the last two months I did so I’m considering just keeping going with them. Though I say that at the beginning of the month, we’ll see how I feel at the end XD

Day 1! Introductions

Day 2! Baking Apple and Custard Pies

Day 3! BBQ and Daiso

Day 4! The Boyfriend Tag

Day 5! Thrift Shopping

Day 6! How I Cut My Fringe

See you all tomorrow 😀

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?!

melbourne-snapshots379

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.

melbourne-snapshots752

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

melbourne-snapshots382

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.

melbourne-snapshots373

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

melbourne-snapshots374

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.

melbourne-snapshots362

The trees have been so beautiful lately around here.

melbourne-snapshots346melbourne-snapshots344melbourne-snapshots306

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.

melbourne-snapshots309melbourne-snapshots308

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 >_<

melbourne-snapshots269melbourne-snapshots056melbourne-snapshots068melbourne-snapshots055

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~

The State Rose Garden – Melbourne Snapshots

This week I made some strawberry cheesecake which I’ll hopefully perfect and be able to post the recipe of soon!

state-rose-garden936state-rose-garden935

The sun managed to get out of bed and shine just a little when we visited the state rose garden.

state-rose-garden725state-rose-garden721state-rose-garden718state-rose-garden697

This was a little sad, I know they are pests and not native but the bunnies here are so cute. Not at all like that jerk bunny on the sign!

state-rose-garden711

Of course, we didn’t think that it wasn’t actually rose season so there were only a few buds XD

state-rose-garden709

Still very beautiful though!

state-rose-garden700

Flowers are one of my favorite things to take photos of but they just end up sitting on my hard drive doing nothing.

state-rose-garden703

And here’s a photo of taking that photo… because I’m cool like that.

state-rose-garden45

The fields on the way were extremely amazing colours.

state-rose-garden432

I took the opportunity to take some outfit shots in the pretty location.

state-rose-garden44

state-rose-garden79

Kim joined me on the bench after she finished her outfit photos too and I pretended to be extremely hilarious so we could take some together.

state-rose-garden95

I tend to be more awkward than hilarious though most of the time XD

state-rose-garden91state-rose-garden54state-rose-garden47

Afterwards we went to a Vietnamese restarant and I had the most delicious pho and spring rolls. I’ve been dreaming about them ever since, though now it’s warm it’s probably not a great time for them!

state-rose-garden726

Also Susie tried to eat my head when she visited. Her shirt had a cat on the front and the back, super awesome.

Ridiculous Places Lottie Naps

Lottie loves napping in weird places. I think she’s kind of a weird dog, she’d have to be a little weird living with us haha.

Lottie sleeps in a blanket burrito.

cute-pomeranian-puppy7280

She sleeps upside down.

cute-pomeranian-puppy7130

She sleeps upside down a lot…

cute-pomeranian-puppy7298

She sleeps in her blanket the other way around.

cute-pomeranian-puppy7279

She covers her eyes if it’s bright.

cute-pomeranian-puppy7134

She steals my pillow if I get up because it’s warm.

cute-pomeranian-puppy7119

Seriously upside down a lot.

cute-pomeranian-puppy7127

Again with the stolen pillow.

cute-pomeranian-puppy7126

She  doesn’t wake up even if you take ridiculous photos like this.

cute-pomeranian-puppy7118

She sleeps next to us while we watch videos in bed.

cute-pomeranian-puppy7067

Sometimes her eyes open and she looks like a zombie while she sleeps. Seriously it’s kind of creepy.

cute-pomeranian-puppy6789

She sleeps through me brushing her so I entertain myself by brushing her fur the wrong way > : D

cute-pomeranian-puppy6969

She smooshes her faces between cushions.

cute-pomeranian-puppy6761

Or inside of blankets.

cute-pomeranian-puppy6765

She is seriously so classy.

cute-pomeranian-puppy6728

The best part of her sleeping? She’s not trying to eat my hair or my knitting XD

cute-pomeranian-puppy208

Extreme awww moment.

Werribee Zoo Snapshots

Recently we visited Werribee Zoo, you guys know how much I love going to zoos! It was our first time at Werribee and it was a more of an open range kind of thing so there are less animals than the city zoo but they have massive enclosures. You can even go on a tour bus and see the animals in the open.

Anyway, you know I tend to take way too many photos in zoos so instead of the regular snapshots enjoy a full gallery 😀

It may take a while to load because there are a lot.
