I received a newsletter this morning from Nine West and they’re having a sale!! 30-50% off selected styles!! I told my colleague and she said, “No more shoes for you Michelle!! You have enough shoes!!!”
Seriously, a girl can never have too many pairs of shoes!!
Oh well, here’s one of my favourite pair of ankle boots. Got them a few years ago from China and they’re still in pretty good condition. I miss shopping there. Everything is so cheap and they have so many varieties too compare to here.

These are my contribution to my stash for the past few months. Honesty, I’ve been really good. They were all bought during sale so I did save some $$$$
. I’ve even started two new projects using these yarns.

In the photo above, I’ve got (not in order):
- Cleckheaton Country Silk 8 Ply x 10
- Moda Vera Harmony x 8
- Moda Vera Fauna x 3 (Pink)
- Moda Vera Fauna x 3 (Orange/Blue/Yellow)
- Moda Vera Kid Mohair Blend x 3 (Yellow)
- Bendigo Woollen Mills Luxury 10 Ply x 2 (Ghost)
- Bendigo Woollen Mills Luxury 10 Ply x 2 (Leaf)
- Bendigo Woollen Mills Luxury 10 Ply x 2 (Autumn Glow)
Lastly, my sister has been pestering me to cook ABC Soup, which I eventually did. We had this for dinner yesterday and today as I cooked up a big pot and she reckons it’s not enough??

Feli asked for the recipe so here it it
Ingredients:
4 chicken wings (you can use chicken frames as well)
3 tomatoes
3 carrots
3 potatoes
2 onions
1 packet of the salted vegetable
Water (enough to cover all the ingredients)
Salt and pepper to taste (I like to use black pepper)Method:
Cut all the vegetables into wedges and put everything into the pot
Make sure there’s enough water to cover all the ingredients
Put to boil on medium heat for 4 hours (or 1.5 hours if using pressure cooker)
I can only eat the same meal twice. I’d refused to eat the same thing over and over again more than twice. I’ll get sick of it. I know some people won’t mind but definitely not me. How many times can you eat the same thing over and over again?

Those yarns are lovely!!! I haven’t been buying any – been on a yarn diet for a while…
As for eating the same dish twice, it depends on what it is. I wouldn’t mind eating cheesecake and things like bak kut teh a few times.

I ate one bowl of soup before I went to sleep. You always locked yourself in your own room you won’t know what’s happening outside

trust me, you cannot have too many shoes!!
as for eating the same thing, I tend to get tired of that as well. I try to make things that freeze well, so if I eat the leftovers a couple weeks later I won’t mind so much!

Soup looks yummy & I don’t mind soup everyday. I have been good & have not bought any yarn except the 2 skeins during the retreat.

I totally agree with you. on sale shop is my weakness that’s why I don’t go to mall especially if I’m in a save-up-money mode.

Hehe. However, that is also the best time to save money coz things are so cheap!! If you buy at a later time, they will be more pricey!!

I agree, a girl can never have too many shoes!!
Oh so much nice wool, I love the Leaf!! I have yet to buy any.
Thank you for the recipe. I can eat the same thing about 4 or 5 times in a row. If I like it, I like to eat it sequencially!!
