Warm, Windy Weekend

It's been such a wonderful weekend despite the windiness. It's not the usual winter, although you do know it is spring, as it's the time when flowers begin to bloom, animals are going hay wire crazy..basically becoming broody too. So reminds me of Bambi LOL.

Last night was so weird. Not bad weird. Simply weird. If you get what I mean. Basically, in between good and bad weirdness.

Anyway, a friend of mine came over for a visit. We (DH, friend & I) had fish and chips for early dinner, while I feed bumble bee her din din too. After that, Friend and me decided to go for a walk, despite the weather. It was not bad though. We firstly went to HMV, I got a cd and a dvd for DH (not surprising), then went to Books Etc. (thats the name of book store) and I got this awesome book about reworking, reconstructing, deconstructing with t-shirts. I also need it as reference and give me some inspiration. One thing good about Spring I like I can go out for longer and find inspirations, not that I don't in winter. LOL. (Sorry, I'm blabbing away)

Oh well, after the walk, on my way back home, some guy just out of the blue said Hi to me. I automatically had to say Hi..or I think we just exchanged smiles back at each other. He was not bad looking for a guy..but then I was like.."okay, you're married!" But no harm in looking though..hehe (so that was the weirdness...a guy saying hi to me at 9pm!) Could have possibly been a backpacker..since staying in a backpacking hostel/motel type thing.

As for today (sunday), DH and I took bumble bee in her pram/stroller for a walk along Hyde Park to High Street Kensington, it was a good walk too. Then we went to check out several shops. We eventually went to the CASS art shop, where I needed to get some fabric paints and some bits and pieces. Then, we checked out the party shop and I got to do a bit of brainstorming for my Beebee's 1st Birthday. I kind of have a fair idea what I want to do, but still going to do more brainstorming anyhow.

On our way back through Hyde Park, as we arrived at the corner of Queensway, we stopped at the Gelati/Gelato shop. I got a small cup of yummy Hazelnut flavoured gelati/gelato. Yum and refreshing. The thing I like about it is that it does not have a creamy texture like an ordinary ice-cream would.

As soon as we arrived, we had our sandwich we got from Pret De Manger (it's a french term) but we simply call it Pret hehe That's another favourite eatery place of mine, besides Starbucks. Pret make delicious fresh wraps and sandwiches, their packed sushis are delish too and their cakes, fresh juices etc. I always get carrot juice from there...nice. There's a fresh fruit juice bar nearby, so I reckon I'm going to check the place out tomorrow when Bebe and I do some adventuring together.

Okay, before I finish, I'd like to show you what I have posted on my etsy shop and will post pics of them in my website too. I'll be listing some items in my recycling section in my website.

Well,what do you think? There'll be more of this coming soon. Just need to take photos of them. Taking a break from jewellery making and recycling my old clothes I don't wear any longer.
