Starting 2024 with traditional good luck dish of homemade black-eyed peas and cornbread. 🍀

Did I mention there was homemade tiramisu? (Yes, I know exactly how lucky I am.)

Beers and watching the cricket… 🍻🏏

We made Christmas Cubanos! Mojo Pork, ham Swiss cheese, mustard, homemade pickle. YUMMMMMMO. 🤤

Happy Boxing Day! 🍷🧀 (I saw the wine label and couldn’t resist…)

Merry Christmas from Down Under! ❤️🍷🧀

Our nephew @kurt_sss is visiting for the holidays so we caught up for a very beautiful Christmas Eve brunch at @woodcutrestaurant. We even had a visit from Santa! ❤️🎅🥂 (Outfits: mine is a @made590 Vera in @riflepaperco fabric; Kurt’s is the @barbie Double-Breasted Suit from @zara.)

Not only did the Purls of Wisdom win the final @philterbrewing pub trivia of the year, we took out the top spot in the annual rankings as well! Thanks @thevoiceofneil for being such a great trivia master. 🏆🍻

Two vintage sewing machines means I’m officially a collector now, right? Fun trivia: while both machines date from the 1950’s, the blue Pinnock Sewmatic weighs more than 2x the cream Elna Supermatic! (19kg/41lb vs 8kg/17.5kb) By comparison, my fancy new Janome Skyline S5 weighs 10kg/22lb. 💪😅 #sewingmachine #vintage #retro #sewing

(Note to self: no more teasing @darkosubotica about his retro computers. 😂)

Celebrating one year since we got back to Australia. How is that possible?? 🍸
