Small Things #3

There's a feijoa tree outside our house and my stash is getting out of control! Must make feijoa chutney soon.

Now that Autumn's here it's time to start thinking about knitting projects.

I am prepared for the coming darker weather now that I've got new lights for my bike. Daylight savings was on April 1st this year, so Mr Meet-Cute took the opportunity to turn all our clocks forward 6 hours. I woke up on Sunday thinking I'd slept in until 4pm. What a prankster!

He made up for the hilarious gag by making hot cross buns. nom!

 

Small things #1

1. I've taken up knitting again! It's been a few years since I was last in the knitting saddle and it's good to be back. Knitting makes me feel productive while slobbing round watching telly (for instance). I'm planning on getting a lot of knitting done tonight while I watch the Oscars coverage!

2. I have been struggling with takeaway coffees while riding my bike in the mornings - which is pretty ridiculous and now my bag is covered in spilled coffee stains. This has been going on for months until a few weeks ago when Mr Meet-Cute bought me a cup holder to attach to my bike, and now I have this re-usable coffee cup, with a handy sealable lid. My morning coffee problems are now solved. Honestly, I don't know why it took me so long but this has been life changing. In a small way :)

Best of 2010

I sure took a lot of pictures of random dogs this year. These photos are a mix of film, digital and hippstamatic and iphone pics.

Golden Days

Aah Golden Summer days! Here are some pics from my weekend of sun and epic bike riding, taken using my Golden Half camera.

Summer time

Summer means iceblocks, fish n' chips, and bike rides and picnics with awesome friends! Top two pics are from here and here. 

Something about this song and video by The Naked and Famous makes me feel really excited about Summertime!

Monday monday

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was spent reading the new Frankie publication, Spaces, and going on an epic bike ride! I've been dying to get my hands on Spaces, and it did not disappoint. And the bike ride was one of the best things I've ever done - definitely deserving of a post all of it's own, which will be coming soon!

Some Spaces highlights - artist/illustrator Rob Ryan and typographer/designer Jessica Hische showing off her awesome 'type' tattoo. So many talented, creative people in here, I can't recommend it enough!

Sneak peeks from the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail. More coming soon!

All you need is…

I love this photo that itunes are using to advertise the fact that they are now selling Beatles tunes!

Although I think this is my favourite as it combines two of my favourite things: bike riding + Beatles:

In my dreams I am riding along too - "I'm coming up behind you Paul!"
