What the????

Cass kindly alerted me to the fact the comments were off for my last post - huh???? Don't know how that happened but it's all fixed up now so feel free to have a squizz and leave a comment if you feel so inclined.

Today's post is about the below top, which I made a little while ago when Sydney was going through a horrible, hot and humid patch back in February. 

Inspired by Sophie's desperation sewing I whipped up this summery top, only for the weather to turn! 

Yesterday was the first opportunity I've had since making it to actually wear it. 

It's Simplicity 4589 which I purchased as a download from here.  I made it with some broderie anglais a sewing friend gifted to me.  The armholes are a little gape-y, I made a size 10 but always find the size guidelines on patterns sooooo misleading (I measure more like a size 12 apparently). 

Anyway it makes a lovely and cool, comfortable top.  

I took these pictures yesterday in a near-by park using the timer on my camera (I was alone) - afew people were staring!!

Not the shot I envisaged but I love it anyway..............

In different news, today I finally went to see the Olafur Eliasson exhibition on at the MCA.

Wow - what a fantastic experience. 

Go and see it if you can, my sister and I enjoyed it just as much as Miss B did.  In  fact I'm considering going again one weekend so I can take Miss A along to experience.

Thanks so much Suzy for putting me on to this.  Today we found the staff to be very child friendly!!

We loved the Inverted Berline Sphere exhibited in the foyer

and even though we were advised No Photography I couldn't resist snapping this picture of Miss B discussing the art works with my sister - seeing my three year old really enjoying and being immersed in the art gave me a real buzz.

Happy weekend to you and if you live in Sydney, you might just take a trip into Circular Quay for a look-see.................
