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 […]
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 […]
Another Block.
A busy week of sewing here but a quiet week for finishes. I have completed Block 4 of Lynette Anderson’s Fernhill BOM. This is it, minus the cute button. I have also had a few birthday cards to catch up on. I am looking forward to lunch with friends and an afternoon of stitching. […]
Stitching And Stamping Away.
We have some lovely sunshine for today so it is worth making the most of it with some time in the garden and some photo taking. We have also been having a few hiccups with phone and Internet connections, but, fingers crossed, it all seems to be working properly now. I am still working on […]
Goodbye, January.
January has flown by quickly which probably means it has been a very busy month. Hard to believe tomorrow is a new month. I have continued to enjoy my Fernhill BOM from Lynette Anderson. Block 3 is done and I am working on number 4. It is an enjoyable stitchery and I have set no […]
Happy Australia Day.
Happy Australia Day to all Australians, where-ever you happen to be living today. We have a holiday long weekend and there are events happening all around the country to celebrate the occasion. Love the Google emblem on the homepage for Australia Day, today. Last week I had a lovely day with a group of friends […]
Santa Bags.
I have recently completed two little Santa Bags. Not unusual for this time of year except that I have only learnt to crochet in the last month and this is the first thing I have made. These are a lovely size for young children. The Christmas cards are finally made and now being prepared […]
Weekend Cards.
I spent some lovely time over the weekend with friends at a workshop to make some cards for Christmas. (It really is going to sneak up on us!) Chris is the lovely lady who ran the workshop. You can find her on Facebook at The Art Room. (I will find the link for that.) We […]
All Sorts.
The nearby city of Melbourne is well known for its changeable weather. This Spring has certainly been one of extremes. Three days ago it was bitterly cold and snow was forecast for some of the mountain areas. Today has glorious sunshine, blue sky and a gentle breeze. No getting bored with the weather here. But […]
