The Grand Bazaar !

More market shopping for me ! Some snippets from today ... 
I realised how empty it looks above but I can assure you it was triple the amount of this ! 
Adorable



Overall, I had a great time and believe it or not, i got home before 2 which is completely unbelievable under my circumstances. Shopping with your parents isn't so bad at all, in fact, it's not that bad at all. Well if you minus the fact that you can't buy 60 % of the things you want, you're pretty much getting a free miniature escape from school AND an enjoying experience.

 Oh, i almost forgot, I also scored heaps of bargains whilst there. In fact I scored quite a lot. I purchased some 90 % wool yarn of a blueish-navy to knit over the holidays. It's not the acrylic yarn that you can buy at golo for two or so bucks, it's wool. And to top it off, it was a dollar fifty for one bundle and it's made for and from Great Britain. You heard me. Possibly globalisation or the traditional breakdown of nation-state barriers( sorry, just did my geography homework a few minutes ago ! ) isn't exactly cutting through. Anyway, big scoree !!

I also found this photo frame with lets me put three photos in it. It's adorable, authentic and simplistic. Love it. And the bonus is.. I got it for a dollar !! Woo ! The lady at the counter, or should i say floor, gave me a fifty percent discount. Yes, step  back now. But as my mum would like to point out, she gave me a dollar discount because she felt i wasn't capable of affording the extra dollar.

Apart from this trip, my dad made my a new bracelet holding out of left over wood and plastic pipes. I reckon it looks rather cool, especially after the layer of paint. It's greenish-white, a colour that fits so well when contrasted to the vintage brown wooden pole. Have to show you a picture later !

Alright catch you guys soon ! I have to get cleaned  and showered before the Voice airs tonight ! Can't wait !

After today's erratic weather patterns, it's safe to say that we've hit winter. Hard. And with storms, colds and freezing weather on our way, I've developed this love for knitwear. It started quite a while ago but now when i mean knitwear, i actually mean incorporating the knit process. And yes, that frankly means not buying some knits from stores ( even though i could sneak a few in). It isn't going to be easy but,hey, what is fun without a challenge ?! Knitting a scarf with the prettiest yarn out ? Oh yes siry ! I know it seems like I've gone berserk with this whole knit thing. Must have shocked you the way it shocked me. Since today, knitting held the connotation of an old lady named Agnus, who sat on her rocking chair whilst singing christmas carols. Sadly that's how far my imagination extends. But in all honesty,when i told Mum of what i wanted to do and how i was eager to learn how to knit ( i have no idea on how to knit, great start Cindy ! Great start. ), she pretty much ignored me in disbelief. I can understand how she must have felt. I mean, if someone would ask me how to decribe myself, I would mainly tell them that i have the shortest attention/interest span. So with not much support, I'm sure it'll be quite a challenge but since I've been quite a good girl, I might have already scored myself a few lessons to get me started :-) And as for the prettist yarn out ? Well.. that's still on my list. The one above caught my eye because it has some weirdness to it. Honestly,the colours are a tad dull but I really don't know. Caught me speechless and I'm contemplating if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Cindy.
