Some friends have a fashion label, Baraka, and a new store, Baraka HQ. They are in the process of making the store the place to be for all kinds of things besides a lovely place to shop, with craft classes, a book club, story readings, movie nights and much more.
I mention this purely to show you some pictures I took of a kid's t-shirt printing class, which was going on in the next room from the book club I attended. (We were discussing Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea, if you're interested; which is very much worth a look.)
Masterpieces created on the day included: a charming lady robot,
four siblings;
but my personal favourite was the shark.
Specifically, the proportional size of the tiny fish's eye at the realization of what appears to be imminent.
In other news, last night I went to a yarn swap at the best yarn shop that sells coffee (or cafe that sells yarn) in Sydney, A Coffee & a Yarn. Ok, maybe the only, but it's still good.
I took a bag full of balls from my stash that I was unlikely to ever use, and came back with ... these:
Nice, huh?
