I ♥ bees. Every farm needs a good walking stick collection, handy for poking at huge toadstools in the bush that are the size of your head. Billy boy and mia. The new christmas gumboots got a good workout down on the farm over the long weekend, herding steer, bush exploring, vegie gardening and generally keeping me safe from snakes! I didn't see any). The vegie garden was looking so lush and had ginormous zuchinis growing. Now what to have with my chutney for dinner . . Billy boy and mia. The races were ...

I've been snapping some pics with the phone when i have been walking around and i have finally managed to get some onto the computer. Looking at them I can see a theme of contrasts. The autumn leaf shot reminds me of a landscape with the contrast of the concrete and lush grass. And the bright yellow boat is so vivid against the Maribyrnong river and majestic swans. My favourite would be this one . . my cat thinking she is a camouflaged tiger in the long winter grass. Billy boy and mia. I like to browse.

Happy days are ahead! I just made this fabric advent calendar for Christmas using an old yellow check tablecloth, some colourful seersucker scrap fabric for the pockets, and some stick on felt numbers. I didn't use a pattern, and I am not very even with my sewing but I think that adds to the fun. It is for Christmas after all! I'm now looking forward to filling it with treats for my fiancé. Here is a pic of the ring - a very pale blue sapphire with some tiny diamonds in the band. Happy days indeed!

These are to fill up my table at the Borders. Bookstore market tomorrow night. Yes, thats right, they are having four crafters sell their wares in the Carlton bookstore - 'Where Craft Meets 3041'. Monday 6pm-9pm ish. I feel a little in awe as the other people are CurlyPops. Thank you x So I am passing it on!

Once again it has been awhile in between posts, but I have a very good excuse this time! We welcomed our baby son, little Freddie, in January. He is a gorgeous boy and is taking up my time with kisses and cuddles and all things bub. He is now five months and just started to blow raspberries as much as his chubby cheeks will allow.

So I love a bit of crafty goodness, as you may gather, and I had to incorporate some in my wedding. Getting some great ideas from the web, I sewed paper streamers - meant to be autumn colours - red, deep red and orange - though the red looks pink! They took ages),. Made ribbon drink flags by cutting bamboo skewers to size and doing a little knotted loop of ribbon. I also raided ikea for serving dishes and stemmed glasses to use as vases. The flowers were by Flos Florum. Billy boy and mia. I like to browse.

I know it has been ages since I have added anything to this blog, very very slack on my behalf, but also I have felt less need to share my life and I haven't been doing any crafting since I moved into my city pad. Just busy happy times. I have, however, purchased a few things from the online handmade market as I truly believe in supporting the hand made industry and all the lovely creative peeps within it. I bought from Viva HandMade. Ps Pic above is of a flock of circling cockatoos at dads farm.
