Winner Winner Chicken Dinner


Okay this isn't a post about a yummy Chicken Dinner but it is still about winning!

My Mr Men & Little Miss Cross Stitching project raised 21 pounds for Sport Relief! Yay!!!!! I also purchased something very pretty:
It is a beautiful flower brooch that was handmade with Cath Kidston and Laura Ashley fabrics by a lady called Louise Howe. I bought it for 26 pounds, which is roughly $40 Aussie dollars.

Cannot wait to get in the mail!

In the meantime, these are the things I'm loving online at the moment:

1.) Laceaffair.com
I found this website last night and am already in love with several dresses and a bag!

2.) Instagram



So I don't have an iPhone - shock horror :P - but I have an iPod Touch and I'm loving messing around with Instagram!

Here are my shots:

3.) Draw Something! 
So I know everyone and everyone and their mother are playing this right now but I'm obsessed right now.

Sadly not my drawing :)

4.) 52 Suburbs Around the World
I love my travel blogs that I follow and this mixes my favourite things together - Photography and Travel!
Here is the description by the author/photographer:
I’m Louise Hawson and in 2012, I’m going to explore and photograph the ‘unfamous’ side of some of the world’s most famous cities – their suburbs – and share what I discover in weekly posts on this blog. My eight year old daughter, Coco, will be coming along for the ride, as will you I hope, in a virtual, vicarious kind of way.

5.) Hunger Games!
I saw the movie yesterday and I really liked it. I'm not one for writing movie reviews, or reading them for that matter. But I really like the subtle touches, such as Prim tucking in her duck tail when her name is drawn at the reaping. It was a very well made movie, so I believe it stands on it's own, seperate from the book series.
I am a relative new comer to the series - having only read the books this past January, so even though the events of the books were fresh in my memory, there were not many major parts I felt that were left out of the movie.
You should go see the movie if you like movies and/or if you like the books :)

Ciao,
Manda
