Woohoo, what a week! After many weeks of planning the new ASG competition, Castaway to Couture, launched. Entries open tomorrow, I’m so excited! If you haven’t heard the idea is that you buy a garment at a Red Cross Shop, refashion it into something new, enter it into the comp and ask your friends to vote for you. It’s open to the public and voted by the public. It’s will be wonderful to see the entries that come in, make sure you get yours in. Even if you’re not the sewing type, you can come on over and vote.
Mr Ask has been on hols this week and we actually got to spend some time together. We went for a drive to Hahndorf for lunch and watched a woman spend 30mins taking a selfie. We helped my gorgeous mother in law celebrate her 60th Birthday and shared a beautiful meal. We cooked together and ate big bowls of fruit (that caramel apple dip got us started). We walked around Rundle Mall while my phone was getting fixed and watched some Fringe happenings. We even ran into the lovely Miriam of Create, Hope, Inspire in the food court! Of course we hung around the house and watched movies too. What a fantastic last week of Summer….
- Yes, today is the beginning of Autumn. Even though I don’t feel like Autumn and Spring really happen in Australia. It’s just hot and then not…..
- Why Dove’s #SpeakBeautiful campaign is the ugliest thing on the Internet today.
- No joke, this cat has been the mayor of an Alaskan town for 15 years. Each day he goes to a local restaurant for a wineglass of water and catnip. Meet Mr Stubbs…
- The city of Edmonton is considering adding an eleven kilometer (seven mile) ‘freezeway’ that will allow residents to skate to work, with a pilot project planned for as early as next winter.
- The speech Nixon would have given if the moon landing failed. Beautiful and creepy at once.
- Apparently, March 14 this year will be an extra special “Pi Day” because for the only time this century, we will have 3/14/15 9:26:53!
- How crazy? This women lost her wedding ring for 16 years before finding it growing on a carrot in her garden.
- And for your weekly dose of awww, the sad cat diary.
Well, I guess today is Mr Asks last day of hols. Which means there will be laundry and ironing to do. If all goes well, I might even finish hemming those pants he asked me to hem. But the day started with coffee and a donut so there’s not too much to complain about. After goofing off with him this week, I need to take a cold, hard look at my planner and get the week sorted out. This month is busy! I’m planning some DIY projects that will become posts and I have some sewing to do for an upcoming event. I hope you are having a super weekend xxxx
