what I like best.....craft!



A special pressie for my Grandma.....one of the most influential and greatest person in my life <3 br="">


These bags are available to buy at The Cloth Pad shop......LINK


I think this one is my favorite - I just adore vintage doilies :)

And now you can meet Ally - she is waiting for her forever home...you can find her in my shop if you'd like to adopt her......LINK


And of course I have to show off my first ever adult knit (and it's all mine too)....It sat for ages in the UFO pile but now it's done and ready to wear this winter, yay me!



And look how yummy these home grown baby beets are....lightly steamed they became my lunch the other day...mmmmm I love our vege garden :)







Anyhoo that's it for another post, thanx for reading and following along - I'll be holding a giveaway soon so stay tuned!

Quick one!

Just a quick post from me.....lots happening here with my kiddies on school holidays and not much time to myself.
First I think I'll admit something.....Oh the shame!
I've finally dug this poor UFO out of the dark depths of a cupboard where it has been sitting.....I started this cardi for myself way back at the start of 2012 and it's pretty much been waiting on two 3/4 sleeves to be finished *sigh*, not really sure what happened other than other things just seemed more important to make ..............insert bottom lip out......... anyway determined to finish it this month so I WILL be able to wear it this winter! Hold me to it!


Getting past the shame and into the other things LOL
I just fininished this cute crocheted circle shrug for a friends daughter - the combination of colors is sure to brighten any winter day :)


These squares are for the same friend but my contribution to a blanket that is being made for her new belly bub - so fabulous that a bunch of us are all putting our touch on it. I made all these up as I went.


And of course you want to see my assistant to daily walkabouts .....here is Miss Calliope enjoying a ride in her mei tai carrier......

And who can forget my 52 trees in 2013 pledge back HERE
Well my husband and I are well on our way - so far we've planted out 12 native Hoop pines that we have looked after since they were the tiniest things...now they are in rows down our bush driveway. And we also planted a lime tree in our vege garden.
