    A few days ago I said to the Snook, “Hey, the 4th of July is coming up. We should have American food!” Next thing I know he’s making baked beans and “best ever American potato salad” from scratch! 😍🇺🇸

    We poked holes in the top of the @longpaddockcheese Driftwood, splashed on some white wine, stuck in bits of slivered garlic, and baked until it was warm and gooey. Now dunking crusty bread and day-drinking like damn hell ass kings. 🧀 🥖 🍷


    It was a crafty weekend. I finished the Building Blocks baby quilt top, and I casted on some socks in @bahyarns “Return of the Bounty Hunter Scum” (Boba Fett!) colourway for the Snook. 🧶🧦

    I finished my modified Helga blouse! It’s a little more cropped than I’d normally do, but I pretty much used every bit of the wool. (Definitely earned that yarn chicken merit badge!) Just needs a wash and a block… ❤️🧶🐓 @hobbii_yarn


    Doing patchwork for the first time in YEARS. I blame @georgisews and @randomknits for inspiring me. (And of course @rdrkt and @jamie.sydneyau for having a baby!) ❤️🧵🪡


    Mr. Snook was also busy today… making his best ever slow roast pork belly. 🤤❤️ #crackling

    “Interesting crowd here. I didn’t really know cheese appealed to the Gen Z.” 🧀🍷

    Only in Sydney would you pay $40 to attend a CHEESE festival, and then spend more money to buy the cheese you’ve just tasted. 😂 On the upside, having it be ticketed meant there weren’t ridiculous queues for everything. We tasted many different cheeses along with butter, olives, pates, salamis, a couple different wines, whiskeys, a “whey liqueur” 😵‍💫, and gelato. And yeah, a bunch of it came home with us.
