Sewing mojo is ramping up. The plan is taking shape. #awsdressv2 👗🧵🪡

Be my stylist. No belt, white belt, or pink belt? (We’re going out for a special occasion.) 👗🤔 @made590 #made590

Happy (prime) birthday to my best friend. I feel very lucky to get to share my life with the cleverest, kindest, handsomest man. ❤️ (And he voted for the white belt, so that’s what I went with!)

---

For his birthday, he really wanted to go to Sixpenny, one of the best restaurants in Sydney, which meant booking six months in advance. It did not disappoint. We had a delicious long lunch with oysters and wine and everything lovely. Highly recommend. ❤️🍷🦪

Fit check! I knitted one of the afterthought heels so I could check the placement, and it was a little tight. So I frogged it back to that point and moved the heel back a stripe. Much better! Now it’s just a straight shot up the leg… 🧶🧦 #knitting

Our first Weisswurst since leaving Germany. We’re having it for dinner, but I comfort myself that it wasn’t yet noon in Munich. ❤️🥨🍻 Logistics: This required travel to four separate specialty shops, considerably more outlay of funds than in Munich, and the Snook had to make his own süßer Senf (which wasn’t quite right but we’ll get there).

Wow!! My Dad took us to Buc-ee’s on our road trip in June. I enjoyed the Beaver Nuggets, but I’m not paying ridiculous markup to have someone send them to me. 😂

Just binged all of #GoodOmens2… ❤️ “Wait and see” indeed, Neil. (I see what you did there.)

---

Old and busted, and the new hotness. (The cover on the new one is way prettier, yeah?) Lots of fresh new pages to fill. 🌏😉

I’m seeing lots of tributes to Sinéad O’Connor today, but so far no one has shared my absolute favorite performance of hers: her cover of Elton John’s “Sacrifice” from the Two Rooms album. It’s not on Spotify, but it is on YouTube…

---

She’s leaving on that midnight train to Sydney… 🎶 We caught the very late Brisbane-to-Sydney train in Macksville (our 2nd ever sleeper train) last night. Not my most comfortable sleep ever, but I did fit on the bunk and we woke up to an amazing sunrise. 🌅🛤️

How precious is this?! Little Rodd was such a sweetie. (Still is!) ❤️ #schmoopie

---

Socks are coming along nicely! This self-striping colourway is “Return of the Bounty Hunter” from @bahyarns. It’ll be a simple 2×2 ribbing with an afterthought heel. #knitting #socks 🧶🧦

3 hrs into an 8hr train trip that would take < 5 hrs in Europe. 😭🚊🇦🇺

---

The definition of cozy: handsewing a quilt binding in front of a fire while watching Grand Designs on a winter night… 🧵🪡❤️🔥

---

Rodd bought me a present on his pub crawl last weekend. (He had to buy and prepare the boba; they can’t put it in the can.) I LIKE IT! 🍺🧋

---

Mini #sewing project! I realised recently that I really need a needle book to hold my hand sewing needles. Last night I whipped up this little version in < 30 minutes from scraps I had at home. It’s wonky but gets the job done! 🧵🪡🍍
