Welcome! I’m starting a new chapter of blogging. I’m so happy that you are joining me on my adventures. This website is under construction and I’m still working out how to get it all together so I apologise if it’s rather clunky.

Hello friends, Happy New Year! I’ve been absent since the beginning of November because life just got crazy. That tends to happen between October and the end of January due to so many birthdays and, of course, Christmas. I hope everyone had a wonderful end of 2022 and has welcomed 2023 with renewed hope and…
#2 – Finishing and Starting.
I’m always very appreciative of where I live! It’s such a wonderful area that there is almost no need to go to resorts when one lives in such a place …. but there’s no need to cook at a resort.😁 This morning’s walk was overcast but calm and beautiful. Finishing – A few weeks back…
#1 – Catching Up!
Well, I’ve definitely been MIA the last couple of weeks and Blogtober slipped away! Things got pretty hectic after my last post. It was my husband’s birthday and we went away for a couple of days down the coast. We stayed at a lovely old pub that had been done up – The Bermagui Beach…
Blogtober #14-#17 – Cakes and Parties!
I put Blogtober on hold for a couple of days because I was very busy on Friday and then away until today. So buckle up, because today’s blog could be a large one! On Friday, I spent most of the day making a Rainbow Unicorn Cake for my gorgeous 4yo granddaughter who is into both…
Blogtober #12 & #13 – Busy busy!
Yes, I missed yesterday but I didn’t forget. I’ve just been flat out with appointments and other commitments and I realised last night that I really had nothing to share with you. One good thing yesterday was a visit to Spotlight for something I needed and I ended up with these linen fabrics. They are…
Blogtober #11 – Felix the Cardigan.
It was another dry day today so I managed another bike ride! It’s such a great area for getting out and about. Here are a few pics from today’s outing. Today I finally finished something that has been “finished” for over a month. This Felix cardigan was completed at the end of August – all…
Blogtober #10 – Little Cupcake.
Well, it was a cracker of a day today, which is about time after all this rain. We’ve still got water running over our clothesline pavers and down the lawn and there’s more rain in the forecast. La Nina has been hanging around for most of the year and I think we’re all tired of…
Blogtober #9 – Bleeding Hummingbirds!
Before we go any further, no hummingbirds were injured for this post! 😗 I’m referring to the embroidered hummingbird I showed you in my very first post. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get rid of the blue that bled from the thread I used in the stitching. You can see in the original photo how the blue…
Blogtober #8 – Einstein Knitting.
Not to harp on about the weather again but it sure was a knitting kind of day again today! I was busy knitting in bed first thing this morning because I had to make a start on my Westknits MKAL. We did have a little bit of sunshine through the clouds this morning but the…
Blogtober #7 – Birdsville.
I was excited this morning to see that the Westknits MKAL Clue 1 had dropped. I immediately downloaded it onto my phone before I even got out of bed. Once I had read the beginning of the clue, I stopped there because I knew I wasn’t going to get to start it at all today.…
Blogtober #6 – Rainy day crochet.
Oh my, what a miserable day it is! It hasn’t stopped raining for a couple of days now. Can you see the ship in the photo? Well, I wouldn’t be surprised if that was a no, I nearly didn’t see it either. It’s a great day for knitting in front of the TV. I did…
Blogtober #5 – Twisting and Turning – the MKAL.
Just a quick blog today as I’ve been out and about in Sydney. I’m eagerly awaiting the first clue of the Twists and Turns MKAL by Stephen West (Westknits). This is my sixth time participating in the annual mystery knitalongs and I wouldn’t miss it for the world. Clue number one is due to drop…
Blogtober #4 – Sunday sweater fluff.
Last night I finished sewing in the ends of my Sunday Sweater Junior by Petit Knit. Well, it’s not actually my sweater but I knitted it for my granddaughter Evie. Last night I finished sewing in the ends of my Sunday Sweater Junior by Petit Knit. Well, it’s not actually my sweater but I knitted…
Blogtober #3 – Off the grid!
I was recently made aware of a free journalling class when @barefootcrafter mentioned that she was taking part. I was very quick to jump on that bandwagon as soon as I saw the class. It looks fantastic! The class is by @kelleewynnestudios on her Color Crush Creative website. The course is the Grid Journal Mini…
Blogtober #2 – The Cielo finish.
Day 2 of Blogtober and I’m 2 for 2! Let’s see how far we get into the month. We changed over to Daylight Savings time in the wee hours of the morning and we’ve managed to get quite a bit of sunshine today. We’ve had a cool change and I think we’re just coming out…
Blogtober #1 – Reaching the End of the PBQs!
What is a PBQ? Before I get into the details of the end of this PBQ cycle, I’d better let you know exactly what I’m talking about! A PBQ is a Paper Bag Quilt, so named for the paper bag containing quilt blocks made by several people and mailed or delivered to each in turn.…
