This past weekend I went on my first op shopping trip in AGES. Fo realz yo, AGES.
Look at the pretty things we found!
A little apron in all of my favourite colours.
An old-timey ice cream scoop, which will come in handy for a cake that I'll be making in a few weeks.
And some little forks for Tjana to make jewellery from.
Luffly!

LOOK WHAT I DID!
Fo realz.
My first attempt at embroidery and I think it turned out pretty darn well, if I don't say so myself.
Step back a couple of posts to see the lovely Aofie in the furr. She's a darling little lass, my only beef with Beefy is that I genuinely believe that my girlfriend loves her more than she loves me. But, y'know, she loves to kneed my clothes when left of the floor or the bed and that makes me all gooey inside, so I can make my peace with it all.
How did I do it?
Well, I took a photo of her fluffy little face, pumped it into PhotoShop and used the cutout filter to break the colours down into 8 steps - I'm sure there are better ways to do this but it worked for me.
I then split each colour into separate layers, traced the outline of her face onto linen then shaded the darkest colour, embroidered it, shaded the next colour, embroidered it, and continued until they were all done.
Then I freehand stitched her lovely little name.
Tjana lost her proverbial shiznit. Which was nice.

The thing about weekends is that they go too bloody quickly.
One minute I'm zoning out on the train, having a few lols with Hamish and Andy and planning the two glorious days ahead, the next I'm hoisting myself out of bed, bleary-eyed and oh so desperate for just a few moments more sleep, and on the way back to work.
The other thing about weekends is that I get to do all of my favourite things, which I suppose is why they go so freaking fast.
This past weekend was, of course, no exception.
I spent Saturday baking, cake-decorating and giving the house a quick spritz, then Sunday was all about bunny hugs, breakfast in the park, and then watching my terribly talented friend Stef getting her ink experience on, colouring my beautiful GFs leg.
All of he happy inspired me to whip out my camera and take a few happy snaps.
Enjoy!

Almost exactly three months ago someone very special came imto my life. She's kind, loving, positively drop deal gorgeous and an absolute cuddle monster. She is my beautiful girlfriends beautiful Russian Blue, Aofie (also affectionately known as Beefy/Beefcake/Meeeemeeee).
Srsly though, isn't she a totally betty?
I took these photos of Beefy this past weekend when Tjana was off doing her work thang and the sun shining in through her bedroom window was particularly perfect. Little Beefcake is certainly no stranger to the odd photoshoot, lady certainly knows how to work her angles.
I managed to snap a handful of super adorable shots of Beefy and her mumma, my lady Tjana, later in the evening, no doubt I'll share thoe with you shortly as well.
