yay for cute craft, noirem!

ASOS had free next day shipping yesterday so I took advantage of that and spent my Groupon voucher on this dress (in "olive oil") and this vest (in "yellow"). Both arrived this morning, but I can't try them on til I get home...

I was digging the strange 70s yellow vibe, and importantly, both will fit in nicely with all the navy and grey I've been sewing recently..

Got a really hardcore heavy dut trombone stand in the post from my parents for my birthday. I'm chuffed to bits with that- I have needed a new one for ages and I have been too cheap and lazy to buy myself a new one. 
I've never gotten food on my underpants!

Five boxes of thin mint cookies! 4 are in the freezer and one is in our tummies. Mmm! So much better than the non-minty ones I made!

Was hoping for my citizenship approval thingy, but got my Kindle.  Actually, was hoping for both, but the Kindle is pretty cool on its own.

Darn, when I saw you posted I thought you were going to say you got your citizenship approval, but let me know when you do!

This was yesterday, but I got my invite to the private viewing of the exhibition my friend curated.  Makes me feel all kinds of special!  :)

A card from my Sister & one from Dh's Aunt for my B/day & I think a few presents for me but Dh got the mail before me when I asked what it was he said nothing so I'm pretty sure it was something for me for my B/day. ;)  :)
