Yummy, yummy, yummy...


The picture is from the spring trip to Hong Kong... Taken from a sampan in Aberdeen. Weather is supposed to be nicer this trip mid to high 20s, and clear. Here's hoping it holds.
No real lunch today - got bogged down at work. However, dinner at Sandbar was great - spinach salad, and fresh halibut (mmmm). Nice seat up on the deck - right by one of the fireplaces. Pleasant end to a long day. http://www.vancouverdine.com/sandbar/home.html

Managed to get fabric on Sunday (seems so very strange to be taking fabric to Hong Kong!). Especially when you are buying it from a shop with a store in Hong Kong (but, as they pointed out - doesn't get cold enough there to sell wool double knit or stretch wool). So, bit the bullet, and got enough to get palazzo pants, a pencil skirt, and a short jacket made (hoping there might be enough for a shell too) out of each fabric. Black double knit, and dark dark navy stretch wool. Picked up some buttons too. We'll see how it goes...

Lots of stuff to get copied too. It all appeals to my desire to control my environment - design the cabinets in the house, pick the finishes, choose the colours and the textures, design the bed. If I can't get paid to design things, I can at least do it for my own environment.
