Farewell America

And it's almost time for husband and I to head back to Australia the land of kangaroos, Tim Tams (if you're not sure what they are you need to get in the wagon STAT) and my sewing machine. Yippee!

This time tomorrow we're boarding a flight from LAX to BNE. I don't know about y'all, but nothing says fun to me like 16 hours cooped up in a plane hopped up on lots of Valium trying to remain calm. Crazy times! On the plus side, I have an epic recipe book for food-truck food to peruse. Win!

So to say farewell to the States here is the final instalment of me-made holiday wear. I'm so proud of everything I made and took- it wore really well and there was real pride in nearly everything in my suitcase being Amanda-brand.

Here are my second pair of wool Iris shorts in a sassy fuchsia paired with a tiny houses print Sorbetto. I loves me some tiny houses especially when they keep me company on a walk through Central Park.


And now we have my polka dot Chantilly dress from a ways ago. I took this number all the way out to New Jersey (two subways and a bus each way- yikes!) to Medieval Times. Everyone needs a fine frock to watch some jousting!


And just for you, gentle readers, I have also snuck in there a picture of a demon squirrel. SQRL!!!


See you kids on the flip side when I'll share all the fabric I brought Stateside... It's going to be epic.
