January

Just a collection of pictures from the last couple of weeks

DJ went crazy at the Lark online shop so I got spoilt rotten for Christmas!

More knitting from my Grandma to add to to stash for when I have kids (I think she is trying to tell me I will have boys as she has never given me girly coloured knitting), also tucked up the back, a scarf for me.

Fabric to take to Canberra for my Kaffe Fassett workshop! Very excited but still have not worked out how to get my scissors and rotary cutter to Canberra as I am not checking in luggage...

The Belle and Boo print I bought myself. I just need to find nice 10" square frames that aren't shadowboxed so I can put them up on my wall.

Veggies from the garden. Have frozen a heap of tomatoes tonight so I can hopefully trying and make tomato sauce next week when I have a few more kilos of tomatoes.

 

Pretty needlecase that our friends bought me back from England, and so pretty wrapped up.

Life has been very busy around here with work and DJ's triathlons on weekends. My brother also came home from Asia and then spend 5 days in hospital and my Grandfather's 80th birthday got cancelled due to the flooding. 

I am hoping that everything settles down in the next couple of weeks and I can get some crafting and blogging done. I can't remember the last time I turned on the sewing machine!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend and hope to blog again next week!

Tada!

Just in case you thought I was lazying away at the beach and not doing anything...

Did not get it done in time for Christmas (only started it 3 days before), but happy to get something finished. It was starting to feel like I haven't been finishing anything lately. I think I will try and get a few UFOs finished this month before I start anymore projects!

Speaking of UFOs...

Hoping to get a fair bit of this finished by the time we come home on Saturday.

Hope you are all enjoying some sort of holidays and had a lovely Christmas and New Years. Hoping to get a list of things I want to achieve this year up later in the week (if I can drag myself away from the beach!)

Wordless Wednesday

Summer Holiday

Enjoying the sunshine and getting a little stitching in too. Although I really wish it would warm up so I could swim.

Groovy 80's

Sharing old photos today with Ms CurlyPops

These are two of my Uncles with me on my Christening day. I'm loving the brown suits! My Uncle still has that beard to this day, 24 years later. I have never seen him without it!

 I swear that every child born or has lived or visited Melbourne Zoo has nearly this exact photo. This was my second birthday and my Mum has still kept the dress I have on.

Unlike Ms Dabblingallday, I decided it would be more fun putting the pegs on my brother than myself. I'm not sure if my brother is about to cry or laugh! I will have to try and dig out the one where we have managed to get him into my dolls pram.

This is my cousin and I 'helping' bake at my Grandma's house. My Grandma use to let us help cook every single time we were there and still does now. She is in the top left corner, I am of course the one with the very blonde hair and my cousin is the one with the girls' mullet!  

I hope you have enjoyed seeing some of my photos.  

Tada!

Just so you don't think I'm sitting around here doing nothing at all!

I've lost that blogging feeling

I'm still here stitching and sewing away...Just can't get in the mood for blogging. 

Hopefully this small post will break the no-blog-feeling spell that I feel is on me!
