My World Tuesday # 18 The Grampians

More snaps from our trip to The Grampians.
My early morning walk.

There was also a lot of emus in the paddocks but unlike the kangaroos I couldn't get that close.

As soon as I got close they were off.

Head over here for a glimpse of other peoples world.

My World Tuesday # 17 North Haven Beach

It is cold here in South Australia and fortunately we have had some rain but we still manage to get some lovely winter days.
We went for a walk on the beach at North Haven.

Lots of interesting things to see.

When I was young I loved playing in the seaweed piles...... these made perfect places to hide.

Interesting rock.

Little people enjoying the water.

Perhaps they should have been at school but a surf sounded better.

Although it was sunny I was pretty confident we wouldn't run into one of these it was still rather cold.

If you would like to peek into other peoples world head over here.

Bailey the Bear

Meet Bailey the Bear I knitted him over these cold nights we have been having. Winter has come to S.A. with a vengeance.
The pattern is from the Women's Weekly and is by Debbie Bliss.

This is more like his real colour.

Bailey is going to live with Gemma.








because someone doesn't want to play nicely.

The week that was

This is what I woke up to this morning - it was cold and foggy.

On Sunday a few girls come around for the afternoon for a bit of stitching and chatting I'm not sure what happened but no photos. It was a lovely afternoon where we all got a bit done - Amanda was especially pleased she finished these. Kris was finishing of a swap which was to be posted the next day and Sue was looking at the end of one of the inspired stitches projects. We decided it was a good way to get things done as we just sat and stitched no getting up to do other things around the house.

I have accomplished a few things this week.
Firstly I sorted my embroidery threads a very satisfying job. They had become very messing and I had different ones all over the house so they are now all sorted and back in one place.

I have quite a few.

In the car on the way to the Grampians I made this lovely Hexagon bag.
I really love it and unlike a lot of things I make........... it is for me....... to put my scissors, needles etc in.
I apologise for all the photos that follow I took them this morning - inside
- IT WAS COLD AND DAMP OUTSIDE.

I really enjoy paper piecing.
I did have a crazy thought while Tony drove and I merrily stitched away that I might like to make a quilt this way !!!!!!

My good friend Diana recently had a holiday in Japan I asked her if she had time, could she look for and perhaps buy me some craft mags.
I was very lucky in the fact she brought me back 3.

I made this little purse from one the other night.
I needed a new make up purse.

You can tell I'm right up there when it comes to make up.
Mine all fits in here.
