    Massive US foods hamper marked down at DJ’s to $38! Thanks to gadgetgirl70 for the tip. 🙂 http://t.co/g4xdgQ50UO


    @web_goddess Given that I’ve paid $16 in the past for just the (included) can of pumpkin pie mix, a really good deal!


    The DJ’s hamper is this, for the curious! http://t.co/oGDxTKDtRF (@drwitty_knitter @pransellknit)


    @Opheli8 Hahahahaha. Tweetdeck fail. Meant to be a reply. 🙂


    @unlikelylibrary Oh crap, just realised you changed your Twitter name. Durrr. (And Instagram didn’t link it anyway. BAH.)


    Holy crap. I’m within spitting distance of @clepetit on my Fitbit friends ranking board! I wonder if he broke his legs or something?


    @clepetit I’ve hit my goal (just 8K) every day this year so far! Of course, my Achilles is killing me so I’ll probably collapse soon.


    @unlikelylibrary Gorgeous! Also, an effective weapon by the looks of it.


    Every night when I take my Nexium, I think: “ZOMG.” http://t.co/3y7gPAp7kR


    @handmethepanda Yep. Like 5 years so far now. I wish there was a generic available. I’d pay off the mortgage a year faster!


    @handmethepanda Oooh, good find! I hope so…


    @randomknits @handmethepanda Every place I’ve found in Sydney is nearly $1 a pill for it. 🙁


    @garethrhughes Commits or it didn’t happen.

    @RoseRed_Shoes Dammit! I read that one this morning and thought: DON’T TELL ANYBODY OR IT’LL BE EVEN MORE BUSY.


    @chrisgander Hey! So judging by your FB posts – did you and Kez get back together??


    @pixel8ted I had one last January but I don’t think it cost me that much??


    @pixel8ted I just checked. I paid $570, but Medicare paid back $320. So out of pocket $250 in total.


    @pixel8ted Specialist Magnetic Resonance Imaging at RPAH.


    @pixel8ted Ooh, I seem to recall that that were only a couple places that did Medicare, and I had to wait a while for an appt.


    @pixel8ted My referral was from sports physician, not my normal GP. Not sure if that makes any difference.


    @garethrhughes @daphnechong GODDAMN YOU GUYS.


    @pixel8ted My sports phys was at Sydney Uni Sports Clinic. Referral was just for Castlereagh Imaging. Had lots of offices to choose from.


    @miss_reecie By “quilt”, you meant “caftan”, right? 🙂


    @garethrhughes @daphnechong I just ate my lunch, and that still made me drool.


    @unlikelylibrary I was about to say: they got it wrong! It was a girl! And then read that this was ANOTHER idiot.


    @chrisgander Oh yay! I had hoped that was the case. She seems awesome; hope to meet her someday. 🙂

    Very excited and grateful for a lovely surprise from @drwitty_knitter and @SandraHW! Now to clean out the sewing room…


    Hoping all my family and friends in Indiana are staying warm! http://t.co/HvObycdfQf


    Just ordered some awesome new shirts from @stringsofcolour. Geek fashion win!

    Testing out @ynab as a replacement for @MoneyWell. (Mr Snook has an Android now.) So far so good!


    @Gin_ev_ra The one at ground floor in the shopping center? Don’t have it now and staff don’t recognise it. 🙁

    @drwitty_knitter Very cool!


    Auntie Linda had this cool Vintage Made mag. Know where to get in Sydney? @Bex_the_Femme @randomknits @ImagiNERDtive http://t.co/ZyfgIJzTZV

    @drkknits I’m making fish too! We are psychic cave women.


    RT @newscomauHQ: IN the most Australian moment ever, Hawkie has skolled a beer in front of dozens of people dressed as Richie Benaud http:/…


    @drkknits Just getting ready to start. I’m making this: http://t.co/LHW1EDUmN9


    @drkknits It was quite good! Ate so quick we forgot to take a picture.


    @drkknits Nope, no corn. Just what’s in the recipe!


    @randomknits GAHHH. Just realised that my feed reader has your old RSS address. I’m like, DONNA HAS BEEN BLOGGING? I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS.


    @randomknits Well thankfully, the error has now been corrected! Carry on. 🙂

  • Hawaiian Negroni

    Hawaiian NegroniHipster alert! This is the second shirt I’ve made for the Snook using Colette Patterns’ Negroni. I actually modded the pattern a little bit based on some of his purchased Hawaiian shirts. I only put on one pocket, and I didn’t bother with the pocket flap. I also straightened the side seams and bottom hem for a boxier, more casual cut. I bought the fabric last year in Honolulu at Hawaii Fabric Mart (who I highly recommend!). The coconut buttons are from All Buttons Great and Small. I’m pretty happy with how this turned out!
