Sunny New Year.
A New year. Time to start a fresh year of blogging. Lots of sunny days already. And these beauties opened to start the New Year as well. Some stitching has been happening. This is the second panel of Over The Hill (Wendy Williams). I have really enjoyed selecting fabrics for this quilt – the deck […]
Farewell, 2020.
I think this message from the little gnome in our garden says it all when it comes to 2020. It has been such a different year, but not all was bad. Let’s hope we can all start off fresh in the New Year. I have positive news about my blog. My wonderful web master (son) […]
December, 2020.
2020. Certainly a year that will not be forgotten in a hurry. Here in Victoria, Australia we are having a lovely December. After our total lock down we have experienced 60 days without community transmission. That has been a wonderful achievement and well worth all those stay at home days. With our new found freedom […]
Nearly Missed November.
With everything that has been happening I nearly missed November. Talk about getting in by the skin of your teeth! It has been busy here for two reasons. Firstly, the lovely weather has arrived and a lot of time has been spent outside, mostly in the garden. Sun and rain means everything is growing fast. […]

The Wool Theme Continues.
I may as well make the most of working with wool while the temps stay low. Spring has given us some lovely days but it is not getting hot anytime soon. I have added to my baby gift supply with a couple of sleeping rabbits. The design is by Twins Knitting Patterns, the same designer […]
Keeping Busy.
Welcome Spring. It has been lovely to get outside in the sunshine over the last week. But there has still been plenty of time to fit in some stitching, too. Three of these little friends have been put together. I tuck these away for gifts. They are an easy project to have on hand. I […]
Wool And More Wool.
Working with wool is a delight in Winter. It always feels cosy and warm. First up is another knitted finish. This is a cardigan for our granddaughter. This is made with a wool from Bendigo. I sent a photo through to her when it was finished and had a selection of buttons grouped by colour […]
Colourful Gum Nuts.
Although I am making several quilts in lock down, this probably represents the situation best of all. It shows how I had to make do with what was here. I started off with a collection of fat quarters of each of the fabrics. I found the gum nut fabric at a local craft show then […]
Pelican Progress.
Okay. I am getting my head around Stage 4 lock down here in Greater Melbourne. There is a lot to keep track of but for us I suppose it is still stay home, don’t visit anyone and wear a mask if you have to go out. This time round we have a big stoppage of […]
