It's been a busy few days!
I helped Rogue Cosie guerilla, Patrice, install her AMAZING creations on the Goodwill Bridge on Monday night. It was so much fun! It's for the Council's "I knit Brisbane" project where crafters were asked to cover certain statues/monuments around the city with knitted or crocheted work. It's to celebrate winter and is also part of the Saviour of the Lost arts initiative. So much hard work was put into these pieces. Patrice, you are amazing and so talented!!!

Me sewing the finals touches :) I was so glad to help!

I had a great time yesterday attending the Religion of Fashion Tea Party at the Stamford Plaza. It was an afternoon of tea and cupcakes and seeing great fashion from emerging designers. The location was beautiful also, down by the river near the story bridge. Congratulations to Zoie and her team for putting together a lovely afternoon!

After the civilised tea party, I went to the Roller Derby at the Convention Centre! I saw the Diner Might Dolls take on the Love Rockettes. It was awesome to watch!! I want to get into skating now!
