#95 - Buy some red tights

I've had this one in the back of my mind for a while now never sure if I'd actually look good in a pair.

But I was brave and ventured to Myer with Trudy one lazy Sunday afternoon when they had 30% off all hosiery (being the bargain hunter i am) and purchased some red tights (as well as purple). I wore them last night and was pleased even though lau told me I looked a tad british - I was red, white and navy you see.

#76 Have a housewarming

I just realised that I've crossed a thing off my list without explanation or evidence. Shoeberry was host to a fun and rambunctious housewarming one September Evening. It was eventful and fun for most.

Blogspot wont let me post photos right now, but I promise to adhere to providing evidence that the event took place. Most of the kiddies were there anyway and know I'm not fibbing.

So I tracked down my old photo bucket - apparently it still exists and I may be able to post some photos from there I'm told....

Here goes nothing....

#84 - Make a pie & #97 Overcome my fear of the oven

Ok, so at the point when i started this list I had never made a pie from scratch. Trudy inspired me when I was at her house once and I saw how easy it truly was. So one night when Ash and Trudy were around I decided to try my hand at it. I made a morroccan lamb and vegetable pie accompanied by some yummy potato bake. Turns out it was a hit, WOOHOO!. I have made a few pies since then. The last one Lau and I worked on together. We made a chicken and vegetable and provincial white wine and cream sauce pie - was a tad runny (next time we may add some corn flour). But it was the yummiest yet.

I also threw #97 in there as well because this truly overcame my fear of the oven - pastry and oven, something I probably never would've attempted about 6 months ago. I have to say I'm a bit proud of the whole thing. Moving out really was a good idea. Who knew.

Apologies for no side servings of photo's, a let down i know but next time I bake a pie or something amazing appears to come from the oven I will post a photo to let you know I wasn't fibbing.

#54 Tea Party

54. Have a tea party for girls only
Well I didn't completely organise (in fact im' pretty sure Lau did pretty much everything) but we did have a tea party in Shoeberry. Cupcakes and proper teapots and everything.. It was much fun and a tart even made chocolate cupcakes - they were grand.
