Its Monday afternoon and the long Easter weekend is NEARLY over - but not quite, its been a pretty quiet "Stay-cation" for us. Time was spent walking, hanging out with friends, watching movies and sewing. Also there was obviously time spent eating Easter treats!
I actually didn't take many photos this weekend - perhaps a sign of a weekend spent truly relaxing?
However, here are a few things we got up to - firstly we opened up the amazing Easter treats we received from
Alicia and Bear. This is only a small sample of the goodies they gave us! Bunnies and Hello Kitty for the win!
My friend Alice had a crafty afternoon gathering at her house - we made flower crowns and chocolates and general had a fun time catching up. Here's my first ever flower crown! I think
Desiree would be proud.
Rich and I took a walk in Central Park, which is located about 10 minutes from our apartment. It was looking pretty autumnal, this weekend has definitely felt like autumn (unlike last weekend where it felt like winter!).
I also did some sewing, I made a gold lurex wrap dress from some of the fabric I bought at
fabric-a-brac. I think I made the dress a little bit big, but that's ok as its a wrap dress I can still "make it work" I will post some outfit posts soon.
My version may be slightly less polished than the example shown in
Chic & Simple Sewing (I used the classic wrap dress pattern from this book). But mine has sparkles and looks kind of disco!
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend, whatever you got up too! May be difficult to return to the "real world" of work tomorrow.
