My creative space

I'm pondering here today, examining options, cursing my enthusiasm...and if I admit it, being a bit avoidant. My latest 'go-to' project, you know the one you can work on during swimming and ballet lessons...well I let myself 'go-to' it a bit too much, if you get my drift. Despite diligently carrying a tape measure in my oh so special project bag, I didn't measure it and I'm beyond the range! Aaarrgghhh...

See I've told you before that it's not all crafty light around here!

Pop on over here for creative types having a better day of it than me.

Knitting in the kitchen

I know that y'all think about yarn all the time like me...right? Well if you are like me, then look what I found for yarn tragics, a yarn inspired teatowel...the perfect excuse for me to bring my knitting into the kitchen!

Summer knitting

We are having such a mild summer in these parts. It was the same last year, then winter started early and long outstayed its welcome. I'm usually a person that loves winter, having grown up in a sub-tropical climate I thoroughly enjoy the change of seasons. I love that even if its hot or cold, you know that it won't last that long and the next season is around the corner. I love, love, love dressing for winter in coats, scarves, tights and gloves...I don't think the novelty will ever wear off.

But back to summer...I've been knitting a lot this summer outside under the tree while the kids play. Maybe it has been because the weather is mild, but it has got me to thinking about year-round knitters and crochet folk and those that enjoy a cozy project when its chilly outside? I have so many projects in my Ravelry queue I would never get through them in a winter session...but what about you - winter only or all year?

Summer lights

Do you remember these from a couple of years ago? Repainted with my favourite Rust-oleum ?

They still look great and have stood the test of time....why oh why then has Bunnings decided to delete this range? Lucky then that I have a paint stash, that could nearly match my yarn one.

Have a great weekend,

A time to celebrate

Ten years celebrated by visiting my favourite garden , quiet walks and fabulous food . Not to mention an old-style motel and time to start a new knitting project on the way there and back.

I don't want to wait ten years to do it all again!

Cheesecakeapalooza

Under the shade of a pear tree, and next to the most beautifully weathered garden shed I have ever seen...this afternoon some crafty peeps and I came to what we call 'cheesecakeapalooza'!

Cheesecake was sampled, shared, critiqued and enjoyed....new flavours were explored, projects shared and plans made. I highly recommend it!

Ten years on I wouldn't change a thing about our wedding. It was small, simple - and I DO mean simple...no bridesmaids, no cars (we went in a taxi) and no pro photographers. I wouldn't change the venue - registry office and restaurant. I'd keep the purple dress (bought off the rack) and the stonking red hair! And I wouldn't change the chap - he's pretty amazing!
