Being A Tourist.
This delightful package arrived in the post last week. Susan, from PatchworkNPlay, had a give away and obviously I was the lucky recipient. It really is a sweet little pin cushion. Thanks, Susan. Last week we spent a few days in the north-west of our state (Victoria). We wanted to follow the Silo Art Trail. […]
Back In The Routine.
NB. My blog issues re following seem to have been sorted out. If you wish to follow please use the follow by email directions near the comment section (not the RSS feed at the top of this page – that is not working.) My blog is also now showing up in blog readers again so […]
Bits And Bobs.
Bits and pieces seems to be the way my sewing and crafting weeks are going at the moment. I have finished another one of these crochet bunnies, but this time have added some coloured yarn as well. I saw several variations of this pattern on Pinterest and liked the inclusion of coloured stripes. I have […]
Testing, 1, 2, 3.
Yes, I am testing with this post. I need to know all is working with our internet. We have had huge issues with Telstra. A big outage in our area – no internet or landline for a full week. I can accept that a cable was damaged and that it takes time to repair. What […]
Third Time Lucky!!
I do love technology – except when it doesn’t work. I obviously spoke too soon on my last post. But now my blog has stopped disappearing, will allow photos to load, and will now allow comments to be made – and doesn’t have the code any more. Big thanks to Tim for sorting all this […]
Happy Australia Day
Beautiful weather here for Australia Day. It makes it very easy to get out and enjoy the day. In fact, the whole weekend has been pleasant. We have spent much of it in Geelong as that city hosted the Festival of Sails. I am not the sailor in the family so I did lots of […]
A Delightful Variation On Stitching.
I have ended the year with some lovely time spent with friends sharing similar interests. We went to see the film The Dressmaker on Sunday. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I then downloaded the book to my Kindle and read it. Then yesterday we drove over to the other side of Melbourne to Barwon Park Mansion […]
A Bittersweet Christmas.
I have had a few personal emails and have answered most questions but sometimes it is easier to do a post and explain. As many will know I had been quite concerned about the fires in our state. Yes, we had a lovely Christmas with our family. But at the same time we had news […]
Joining In With The Rows.
I have read a lot about the Row X Row craze that took over so many quilters in the US these last months. So when we had the opportunity to spend some time in South Carolina, I decided to join in, if only on a very small scale. I have been really impressed with the […]
Happy New Half Year.
July already and half a year gone. How about that! Along with finishing off some UFOs, I have also been pulling out some kits that have waited patiently for several years. This is only a little finish but it has been a delightful project to work on. She is a sweet Snow-lady from the Winter […]
