It's that time of the year again, you guys! The Toronto's Knitter's Frolic was on this past weekend, and as always, it did not disappoint. It's an event I always get excited about. I haven't been able to do the workshops, but the marketplace is always fun. It's a yearly tradition now for me, my younger sister and sister-in-law, and we went this Saturday. Pics below...enjoy! :D I took the little one this year:D We were there super early, so these shots were taken before it became cray cray.... Taking a break at the café.... The crowd.... Many liked the little one's jumper/dress:) Haul of the day: The pattern designer of the book Canadian Art Deco Knits was actually there, and I got her to sign the book. Wheeeee! How was your weekend, guys?

" Purple rain, purple rain I only want to see you Only want to see you In the purple rain." - Prince H&M shirt, jeans from Urban Outfitters, Vans slip ons

You guys, my love for the Korean show Descendants of the Sun  has led me down the rabbit hole of Korean skin care after drooling over the flawless skin of all the actors and actresses on that show. I know, I know...I'm 10 years behind this trend, but better late than never, right? So, I've always double-cleansed, but have tried using sheet masks just recently and I love it! I'm lucky enough to live not too far from Pacific Mall , which makes it easy to get Asian goodies.  Then, I got The Little Book of Skin Care by Charlotte Cho, and I became obsessed with the whole Korean routine! This book is well-written, and I learned more about the famous "10 steps". I also love how it's part travelogue, where the author discusses some aspects of the Korean culture in a very light-hearted way. I highly recommend this book (I even have this downloaded on my phone so I can read it anytime.) such cute illustrations And so, this is what happened...a stop at...

This is the second time I've sewn from this pattern (first one here ). I wanted to make a plain version that's good for day-to-day wear, so I picked a cotton/lyrcra fabric. I really do love how easy this dress is to make and wear, you know? dress from McCalls 6886 pattern worn with Vans slip ons Here are the other stuff I've knitted/sewed lately: 1) Crofthoose Hat (pattern here ) 2) Love Birds Jumper (pattern here ) 3) Jalie ballet leotard (sewing pattern here ) This is third one I've made for her. See the other two below:D Anyhoo, is there something you've made or bought over and over because you really just love it?

We've finally been having spring-like weather over here...woohoo! To take advantage of this, my husband and I decided to go downtown during the weekend just to walk around while the in-laws took the kids. Good times:D Here are some pics we took. You won't see any snow, you guys...no snow! In Chinatown (Spadina area) Lunch time   Congee for me coz I've been feeling a bit ill lately, and this was all my tummy could take for days. Checking out the fruits at a market Fabric shopping at King Textiles Walking around Queen St West City Hall On the subway. This was the best pic we had together...yup.... How was your weekend, guys?
