Melbourne

We are back from a few days in Melbourne with my sister and travelling with Eva was surprisingly easier than I thought. After twins doing anything with one child is not that bad.
We caught trains and trams and walked and walked. Much food was eaten and a little bit of shopping. I even found my dream shoes, but at $369 they didn't come home with me. It was so nice to see fabric in real life that I usually only see on the computer screen. I made it to Amitie, Meet Me At Mikes, Tessuti and the Melbourne Design Markets where I bought some great Ink and Spindle fabric. I can't ever see myself living in a city, but Melbourne is one city I would think about living in.
Today has washing and cleaning and sorting and hopefully tonight a little sewing.

  12. melbourne is an easier city to live in! but my husband's family can't understand why we think it will be hard to take 10 month old twins and a 3 year old to melbourne for a holiday. they have said what is the problem? um hello 3 small children for a weekend requires a lot of planning and won't be a holiday for this mummy!

    amitie is my favourite store in melbourne, I just love it and miss it so much!

    Corrie;)
