Inspiration

Stuart Membery inspiration for my weekend project.

New cane table

Bought this table for $20 from someone on ebay on the weekend to go with my two cane chairs. Now to just get them painted.......

You can see where I'm headed, anyway.

This weekend, I swear....

Yummy Fun-ness in the Valley

Went to Harajuku Gyoza yesterday for lunch with a colleague - yum!

They do Japanese dumplings and Asahi beer on tap. It was fabulous.

They have a number of dumplings to choose from including chicken, duck, pork, vegetable and Moreton Bay Bug! And the dessert of apple gyoza with fabulous vanilla icecream is to die for.

The staff are all lovely. What a great place to go.

It's in Brunswick Street, next to the old Dooley's pub, if you are wanting to get some Gyoza goodness.

Project Wednesday

Well, I've been inspired by all the blogs I've been reading recently and I'm going to do two projects.

First is to paint these chairs white and make two black and white striped cushions for them, to have on my front verandah.




I bought these chairs on Ebay for $120 from a woman in Maroochy River. What a beautiful place that is! I've never been there before - her house is for sale and she's done some great stuff with a bali inspired decor - you can see it here

The second is to make these fabrics I bought in Big W into serviettes. I think this will be a gift for someone. (Depends if they work out or not - I'm not big into sewing!).

The greens and pinks don't come up as well as they do in real life. I think they would look great as different serviettes on the same table with some pink flowers and greenery in the middle.

First step - clean the chairs. Look out for progress......

Out and about in Charlotte Street

Took my ipod touch to Charlotte Street and this is what I saw.....
