Not much sewing to report but I did get a wonderful surprise. I was whisked away to Melbourne by Mr CP. Due to shift work clashes we hadn't seen each other for nearly two weeks. To say I was a little grumpy about it doesn't quite cover how I was feeling.
Finally a few days off coincided so we jumped on a train and headed for the big smoke. Mr CP surprised me with a lovely hotel room, a visit to NGV to see the Dali exhibition and tickets to see Chicago. We had a wonderful time exploring the city from above and below. We went up the Eureka building and watched a beautiful sunset and headed down some lane ways for coffee and cupcakes. I can definitely recommend the Belgian Chocolate and the Jaffa cupcakes from Little Cupcake on Degreaves Street. Tasty!
Back to reality yesterday....
I STILL haven't finished the 'I Spy' but I'll sew the binding on tmrw and get it stitched down over the next week.
Couch time with my book before work this afternoon.
Happy sewing,
Abbe
