KITTEN MITTEN

Posted in Buttons, Melbourne, love by graciec on July 16, 2009

Today my boyfriend asked me randomly,

“Should we do something for Buttons?”

How unexpected, and how excited I became! 

Without hesistation, I replied,

“Let’s make kitten mittens!”

(He actually wanted to make Buttons a new house, but we had no cardboard. haha)

BF and I decided to use the colourful scarf on the neck of his toy mouse to make Button’s mittens but only to realise it was a tiny-weeny too small. So we opted for (LE SIGH) for a plain boring looking old sock I found in my wardrobe which my dad left after he got it from his flight. Nonetheless, we were determined to make something nice to keep Buttons warm.

It’s such a warm fuzzy feeling to see my boyfriend hard at work, and actually sewing better than me! I was struggling like crazy, figuring out how is it possible to sew the letter ‘B’. 

And if you’re wondering how is the outcome…

well

mittens

hahahaha I am actually so embarrass to put it up, especially with mine looking really like a worn out cloth. I bet you cant even see the ‘B’ can you? But i tried my very very very utmost best :) hahaha but it was fun doing it.

And now, the most important question,

did Buttons like it?

 

trying

Well, I am not sure if he really digged it, but he tried his best to keep it on for like 5 seconds.

My boyfriend looked at him and started bursting out hysterically by the sight of Buttons with our poorly done mittens.

I think Buttons became so unimpressed by it, we gave it to the toy mouse.

Since the boyfriend was in his hysterical mood,

he decided to make another winter piece for Buttons.

Presenting…

Hahahaha.

Keep warm darlings.

THE RESTLESS WEEK

Posted in Uncategorized by graciec on July 15, 2009
  • Stupid fever that left me in bed day and night for the past few days
  • Spent nearly 3/4 of my time surfing online shops, tempting myself to buy more dresses and more stuff which I dont need despite being super broke already.
  • Bf was just awesome, cooking every meal, tucking me in to bed, getting my medicine and water, and looking out for me :)
  • Finally got my semester’s timetable and I don’t like it one bit. School’s starting in 2 weeks!
  • Feel like starting on a book but I actually feel lazy to pick up one.
  • Watched Hong Kong drama over lunch, dinner and supper. 
  • Entertained myself with Bruno trailers

How was your week?

ICE AGE

Getting all ready for a night down town

us

 

should been known as dodgy cinema

with hardly any patrons, no attendants checking our tics and no allocated seat numbers

Buttons and Juno have been entertaining me with their constant fights the past few days,

but looks like its a change of heart, they seem like they’re getting along very very well now.

So Dinah, don’t worry!

Although Buttons have been feeling rather…..

well, too attracted to Juno. He follows her everywhere she goes!


seeing them just makes me smile all the time :)

Thanks to the weather, I’ve been feeling cold, and I am falling sick. Sigh. 

Not good at all.

Well, another week has gone by, with two more weeks to play.

gdnight

Stez was in town!

Brought him to Lygon’s papa Gino’s to enjoy good old-fashioned pasta and pizza

Much to my disappointment, I didnt get to bring him to try the amazing Durian ice cream down at IL FREDDO, but I guess San Churros turned out great too.

Guess who’s the new cutie in the house?

juno

Juno is here, while Dinah is in Sydney with the girls.

And I think Buttons is in love with her. Although I think she has no interest in him…

Poor baby Buttons. :(

I think he has been bitch-slapped about 10 times each time he tries to like touch her ‘below’. hahahaa

Witty and I found our paradise!

Presenting Chapel St,

Plenty of Op-Shops, gorgeous looking stores and cafes. 

I think we’ll be going back quite often from now :)

Spotted Handiworks – loved everything about it.

And we finally caught up with Natsumi who came back from Tokyo

This holiday has been good so far, although there is still a list of things I would really like to do, 

like having scrabble session with Lish, catching more movies with my boy, go for a short trip outside the city.

I know it can be done! 

Anyway, I took a stroll last Sunday before heading to Camberwell, and I realised how pretty Melbourne is in the morning

Have a good break everyone!
