Ernst's Big City Adventure


Ernst was very excited about going to Sew It Together. He was so looking forward to meeting some lovely bloggy crafty friends and living it up in the Big Smoke for the weekend.

Ernst had a lovely time admiring all the things being crafted at Sew It Together.


After lunch, some of the girls went on a shopping trip. Ernst was very excited, but his face fell as he watched everyone leave without him. "Wait for me Jodie" he cried...but Jodie didn't hear him. Poor Ernst.


So Ernst decided to do a little sightseeing of his own.
 . Ernst was very excited about going in an elevator (There aren't many elevators in Ernst's town!).

Not far from the hotel, Ernst made a most delicious discovery.


It was very hard to choose just one!

Next stop was Clegs. Ernst thought the stripes would make a very nice shirt, and wondered if Jodie could be distracted from her wool purchases long enough to check them out...

And of course even a little turtle knows that you can't visit Melbourne without a stop at Tessuti's. Ernst loved the soft cottons, and thought this gray gingham would look very dapper on him!

Oh Ernst, what are you doing? Those are ladies shoes!!!


Back at the Citigate, Ernst sat back and drank in the creativity around him and thought he would never have such an exciting day out again. What a lucky little turtle!

  8. It was lovely to get to sit next to Ernst for a while, that dude really does know how to work the room and charm the ladies. He almost as much of a massive spunk as Hamish Blake!

  10. Ernst must have been stalking me! - he went to every place I did and managed to keep himself out of my sight...very spooky...He told me he found me attractive. I could see the heartbreak in his little turtle eyes when I told him I was spoken for. I was tempted though. He is a gorgeous hunk of green and brown love, after all!
