    @messicat Aww, thank you!


    @SallyPompom So far no big spike, but it is up a bit on last week. http://t.co/cp5S6G7D


    You guys – I totally made a dress! All by myself! Just needs buttons, zip, and pockets to finish. http://t.co/rZi8PDtL


    @goldfishgeorge Thanks! Technically it’s my practice muslin, but I’m thrilled how wearable it looks! Just a few size adjustments needed…


    @AusVintageGrrl Thanks! My bust, waist, and hips were all different sizes, which made things fun. 🙂


    @AusVintageGrrl Eh, it’s a bit boobtacular. I need to take about an inch out under the arms, but then it’ll be very good!


    @jenwburn Yeah. Designer suggests wearing it over a blouse as a pinny in the winter. May get some use yet!


    @randomknits @RoseRed_Shoes hahaha… I hope you shoved a smartphone up his ass!


    @mrs_sockvictim Nice! EZ’s seamless hybrid, yeah?


    One week without alcohol – everything else the same – and I’m down nearly two kilos. Huh. Mystery plateau explained. (cc @drkknits)

    Headed to the Easter Show to (wo)man the Guild display. I bet @Yarna_’s getting hungry! http://t.co/86XDFI9F


    I just unlocked the “Trainspotter” badge on @foursquare! http://t.co/nr2Cr3V9


    @stufromoz @teknetia @snarkyboojum It’s gone! Michael Mobbs put his hand up first. Now anybody for a robotic self-cleaning litter tray?


    @teknetia @hatescake It’s a Littermaid. We brought it from US years ago but our idiot cats need something w/ higher sides. $40 & it’s yours!


    @drkknits @Yarna_ So am I going to have to yell at some spinners to get in? Because I have no problem with that.


    If you’re at the Easter Show today, stop in and say hi! I’ll be at the Guild Display in the Arts & Crafts pavilion.


    Me and @Yarna_, workin’ the Guild stand at the Show! @ Sydney Royal Easter Show 2012 http://t.co/BHCKmPSn


    Eek. Glass panel on Ceramics display gave way as a kid pushed on it. Major crash. Hope no exhibits broke!


    No naked marquetry this year?! Woodworkers, I am disappoint.


    Holy cow. Some girl had the RAS track me down. She wants to buy my socks. Quoted $250. She is undeterred. YOWZA!


    It *is* possible to eat #paleo at the Show, though I had to search a bit. Garlic Kebab Plate. Yum! (See, @bezthomas!) http://t.co/IlMQ3UJO


    @RoseRed_Shoes I told her to email me after I’d thought about it. @Yarna_ thinks I should take her up on it!


    @laimelde Haha, not anytime soon.


    @witty_knitter @randomknits @Kat13v I got on my metaphorical soapbox. @Yarna_ was most amused. 🙂


    Me and my second place socks today! @ Sydney Royal Easter Show 2012 http://t.co/9SVvUANI


    @jenbishopsydney We are buying that exact set! Hope they aren’t sold out in a few weeks…


    @Yarna_ Oh no! What was it??


    @jenbishopsydney Wait, what?! Saw sign that sofa sale starts on Apr 19. But chair is on sale now?? Which IKEA??


    @jenbishopsydney This was sign at Homebush a few weeks ago. Hmm, website doesn’t mention sale now? http://t.co/a44iTBJI


    @jenbishopsydney Hm. If this is just a special Easter sale, might have to go over there on Monday!

    Architizer Blog – Seeing Double: The Collective Snapshot – Some very interesting and lovely photography here using an unusual effect. The Opera Houseu one is nice, but I think the Colosseum is my favorite.

    I actually brought knitting tonight to go to M&S! Anybody gonna be there? Ping @knitterjp, @knitdra, @Yarna_, @knitness, etc…


    @drkknits The schedule has fallen apart on Day One already? 🙁


    @Soma377 That’s about right, but the Babykiller Dingoes are in the wrong place. Should be up in the middle. I’ve been there.


    RT @Sitback: Sydney based experienced PHP resources needed. Apply via hello@sitback.com.au. // You’d get to work with me!


    @drkknits Oh god you suuuuuuuuuuuck.


    Only just escaped work. Too shattered and hungry for knitting. Headed home to collapse. Sorry @knitterjp and @Yarna_!


    @mrs_sockvictim Congrats – it was a good day for it. (I got an offer too!)


    I’ve had a headache for 24 hours now. Paracetamol’s not making a dent. This sucks.


    @toastman Exactly normal. Not that. 🙁


    @mrs_sockvictim My same (newish) one. Got offered permanent!


    @brown_note @jchyip Interesting. I’m taking a month off alcohol for health, and within 5 days I’ve had to turn down team drinking events.
