    #sewvember day 5: another Tova top, made by me a couple months ago. http://instagr.am/p/RpC-PfRJJa/

    Today I sewed little plastic horses onto a giant flower that I plan to wear on my head tomorrow. Seriously. #sewvember #melbcup http://instagr.am/p/RpTXRpRJOn/

    #sewvember day 6: the Hazel dress I finished last night and a giant horse flower for Melbourne Cup! http://instagr.am/p/RqcAOnxJKC/

    The eternal debate: do I pick my horse to back based on the punniest name? Or the one where the jockey has the prettiest colours?

    Mom called. Dad called. Nothing brings the family together like an overtime Irish victory!

    @AndyVo20 @pixel8ted Fantastic game, eh? I’m hoarse from yelling in my living room. Wish the NBC stream didn’t suck so much!

    @pixel8ted @AndyVo20 Fan and very proud Domer alum!

    @drkknits Very cute!

    RT @Salon: “We’re sending $612,500 overseas every minute in support of our current automotive lifestyle…” http://t.co/OaczKcXC

    Holy shit. I sewed myself a fully lined Hazel dress! Not perfect, but definitely wearable. Just need to hem… #sewvember http://t.co/6SCgmuOG

    @knitdra Yay for finished dresses!

    @kateslemay It’s the fabric. It’s a border print along one edge!

    @knitdra @randomknits Mine’s for Melbourne Cup! But I still need a hat…

    Back is worse. Self-medicated with wine and episodes of Community.

    @devvyleys Too late! Kris and Snookums in the morrrrrrning!

    @venks79 Wow, great run!

    @randomknits Beautiful! I think the design suits you better than me.

    #sewvember paralysis. Need to make my Hazel smaller on top but bigger on bottom. They join with gathers. Can I just do that?

    @randomknits So just don’t worry about it? The gathers will take care of everything? Just wondered if I should angle in top of skirt.

    @pixel8ted They don’t align though; it’s gathered so you can force it to align. Just wondering if it will be too full with extra width.

    2nd #sewvember question: should I line the Hazel? Fabric is kinda sheer. Make full dress and hang inside out? Or is it trickier than that?

    @pixel8ted I’m mostly asking those who have already made it if it’ll be bulky. @randomknits thinks I should just go for it, so I will.

    @RoseRed_Shoes You might be right. I don’t even know where to buy one! Suggestions?

    We hung our new art today. Suddenly our place feels very grown up! Thanks artbuds! http://t.co/THHCWagG

    Day 3 of #sewvember: finished 1st motif of quilt! Also started cutting dress… http://t.co/GiPYMWr9

    Thanks for all the lining advice. Decided to make dress up to point of attaching facings and then decide! Also, border prints = MEGA FUN.

    Crap. Appears cutting my fabric last night re-injured my lower back. Bugger.

    OHMYGOD NOTRE DAME HAS TIED IT UP! SCREAMING IN CHIPPENDALE. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR MY INJURED BACK, BUT NEVERTHELESS: JIG TIME.

    HOW DID PITT MISS THAT? I AM HAVING A HEART ATTACK.

    @Opheli8 Shit. We’ve been hearing lots of rumblings from over there. Sorry to hear it.

    Congrats to @Leirith and his missus Alice on their wedding today!

    Kunaal’s final work lunch as a single man! (@ Pancakes on the Rocks) http://t.co/1YWZUszE

    The Crack Pie was a big success, by the way. #so #full http://t.co/YOBWB7pZ

    There are only two pieces of crack pie left. A colleague just accused me of giving him diabetes… It’s a fair cop.

    This is the Crack Pie recipe I used, for the curious (and @traveller0112): http://t.co/iJlSasaF

    There’s a special street fair on in the Rocks with KITTENS and BUNNIES and CHICKENS. Best walk to bus stop ever!

    This is my 11th Spring in Sydney, and the jacarandas are still magical. PURPLE TREES! @ Circular Quay http://t.co/8Y4p1UHZ

    @knitterjp See, right there your baby is smarter than both of my cats combined. 🙂

    @drkknits MISTER F… (sung)

    Another damn ice cream/froyo/gelato place in Newtown? Are they aiming for 1 per capita? http://t.co/5jT5r6rF

    @drkknits Nah, she doesn’t sing it. You’ll know when you hear it. And mind the Poppins!

    So full of Mexican food. I ate special molé enchiladas. Amazing. So full. http://t.co/YFvKN2Za
