Gypsy

Here's our latest addition to our family. Gypsy was a stray that started hanging around a month or so ago. She was so half-starved, timid and jumpy and tail-less. She's gone from that to this. She is very sweet.

Nieces

You can see me wearing my scarf - but this pic is really

about showing off my nieces...who I could just "tear ya to pieces" (Jungle Book)

Being an auntie is just the best!

Manos del Uruguay scarf

Here's my Auntie Joy wearing the scarf I made out of Manos del Uruguay.
The colours are to die for. I just love wearing this scarf.

Knitting companion

I found this whilst browsing the web. I didn't know
such a thing existed. Sooo cu-ute! The glasses are the
scissors.

Autumn inspiration

Autumn inspiration

This is the ornamental grape that runs along our fence.

The colours are absolutely fantastic every autumn. I adore
sitting, having a cuppa and looking and absorbing the
colours.

Close ups

Help! I need some computer literate person to
help me with my blog skills. These latest projects
were so fun to make. I designed the bag, modelled
on my favourite fabric tote. I'm interested to see
how it felts - hopefully it won't drag on the floor so
much.

The belt - I am such a dunderhead. I have a bit of
a problem reading patterns sometimes and I
always blame the book etc. I emailed Debbie Stoller
with a query because mine doesn't look like the
pattern. Thanks to another knitting buddy who sorted
me out my next belt will look like the pattern!

I think I'm going through the whole "is the blog too
self indulgent" phase. But then I've told very few
people about it. I enjoy it and what it does most for
me is that somehow it motivates me to keep exploring
my creative side which brings me so much joy - second
only to my daughters, who are my absolute joy. It's
a good way of tracking my development.

What ... a bag!

Production line

Here's the latest of my marsupial totes. Pink and black, otn is a brown and green one.
