Rainbow Cat.
I am still trying to develop my crocheting skills and find it great to have a project that is achievable. This cat is made from a very simple pattern and was very easy to follow. Very colourful – of course. Love the back view, too. Great little curly tail to go with it. This easy […]
Australia Day.
January, 26th, 2014. Lots of celebrations happening all around the country. I think a BBQ is in order. A perfect way to relax and enjoy the day. There is even a little bunting around the pergola. Happy Australia Day! I have made a few new cards during a workshop last week. A […]
Hot And Easily Distracted.
I have cut out the kitchen window quilt I mentioned in the last post. But with the forecast for our weather, ( 44c or 111F), I decided to cut out several other quilts so I had plenty to do inside with the aircon flowing. That’s where the distraction came in. I was fascinated by the […]
A Star Finish.
The mystery quilt from last year is finally done. Good to have another UFO off the list. I have found it a little difficult to get the true colours of this quilt in my photos. Neither outside nor inside photos gave the richness of the colours. Never mind – the quilt still looks fine. Here […]
A New Start For The New Year.
I do still have a few UFOs to finish, but it is always great to start something new at the beginning of the year. In keeping with my love of bright colours I have chosen these fabrics. And I planning to use them in this pattern. This is Kitchen Window from Elizabeth Hartman’s book, The […]
A Very Sunny Christmas.
I have had a lovely break spending time away for Christmas with extended family. We hire out Edrom Lodge, near Eden in NSW, for the week over Christmas. The weather was perfect. This is one of the beautiful beach walks with a view looking back to the Lodge. The building is hiding in the trees […]
Snow Time.
Hooray! Christmas is nearly here! I wonder if that is what these snowmen are celebrating? I had a good laugh when I read this lovely wisdom from a snowman. I had to turn it into a mini hanging. My cards are all posted and parcels have gone, too. I made a few different cards this […]
Red Ribbon Santa.
Yes, I have continued to play with ribbons. Lots of red ones this time. I am sure you can guess that these turned into a Santa. It just adds to the Christmas spirit. And this is one of the cards I made in a class recently. Loved the colours in this one. I hope […]
Playing With Ribbons.
A few weeks back I was playing with this lovely bundle of ribbons. After a little cutting and stitching, they turned into this little wall hanging. Just in time for Christmas.
Christmas Panel.
This wall hanging is another little finish. I had done all the quilting on it several months ago, but when I went to bind it I couldn’t find the fabric I had set aside. I put the quilt away knowing that the fabric would turn up somewhere. Obviously it did. It turned out it was […]
