For a bun in the oven

I bought this a little while ago for one of my best friends in the entire world, well her bun in the oven anyway. It's nanna knitted and pretty much one of the cutest things ever and even though this baby girl won't fit into it untill she's about 4 years old I simply had to buy it! For $4 who wouldn't?! There's so much work in it and the buttons alone are amazing. So moral of that story is I can no longer go shopping ever because I have reached the point where I will rationalise any and every purchase...ANY!

Camilla I hope you and your jellybean like what the coolest Australian Aunty that kid is ever going to have bought it xx

Rug up for the first day of winter!

Let me just say first that these are not the most amazing photos I've ever taken, generally due to the fact that they were take on my phone. My camera just adds more weight to an already burdensome handbag {some might call me a baglady of sorts...ahem} and I tend not to carry it around with me even though it's times like this I regret that fact.

 Anyway, as I was walking to work this morning, all the way through town I noticed some lovely souls had decided to make sure the city was all rugged up for the first day of Winter.

Hopefully all these knitted lovely warm things will still be around tomorrow so I can get some better photos of the tree scarves and the crotchet hearts attached to the fences! But in case I don't, or they're not there anymore here are the bridge warmers and the giant balls of wool.
