Nostalgia and Now: "No Matter where i serve my guests ...

http://nostalgiaandnow.blogspot.com/2010/11/no-matter-where-i-serve-my-guests.html

Tuesday, November 9, 2010. No Matter where i serve my guests . It seems they like my kitchen best.". A little plaque that's been on the family kitchen wall since i was a kid and it's my topic for today. The kitchen - - Kitchen 'Room' vs Open Plan. I want a kitchen which is more old school style. I connect many a fond memory to it as a child growing up. I hate seeing my dishwasher from the lounge room and fridge from the dining. appliances are terrible unattractive. Our family home was early 1900's so the...

Pea Jay Kay's Patch: Dotty for Spotty

http://peajaykayspatch.blogspot.com/2014/10/dotty-for-spotty.html

Pea Jay Kay's Patch. Friday, 31 October 2014. Well, I've actually managed to get this months cards made and blogged with a couple of hours to spare! I only managed to make 2 cards from each parcel, not because there wasn't enough stuff to use, but simply because time wasn't on my side. Anyhoo, here are the cards from Terri's parcel:. Now on to Liz's two. November's challenge is my choice and for some strange reason, I chose the Four Elements. Don't ask me what I was thinking when I chose it, I was pr...

Pea Jay Kay's Patch: Keeping Busy

http://peajaykayspatch.blogspot.com/2015/06/keeping-busy.html

Pea Jay Kay's Patch. Friday, 5 June 2015. It's been a very productive couple of months here, so much so, I wonder if there's anywhere I can order extra hours to add to the days :o). That will be the next blog, though. This one is more of a crafty nature :o). Since April 2014, along with my friend. Liz at Granny Creations. I have been making ducks, on and off, for the. Little Yellow Duck Project. These are some of the ducks I've made. I've left them in hospitals, parks, a church and even a castle :o).

Nostalgia and Now: Shades Of Autumn

http://nostalgiaandnow.blogspot.com/2013/05/shades-of-autumn.html

Thursday, May 23, 2013. Even though it’s still meant to be Autumn, it has been cold here in Brisbane. With the underneath of the house enclosed now, I had visions of warmth and cosiness on the top floor. No such luck. I bought this last week and am most enamoured with it. I was gazing at it for the longest time last night trying to work it out. The men’s posture is tall and proud, dressed in white with a summer glow about them. Head high and kind of jovial looking. L lived in Honkers for years and years ...

One Woman's Work: September 2013

http://onewomansworkfromoz.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

The journey of a crafter. Monday, 30 September 2013. No not that type of hooker you sillies. My crochet hook of course. Remember my post on September 23 and how I said that I have never finished a crochet project yet? Here is the FINISHED product on my stitching chair. I think it looks lovely against the bottle green with the gold coloured curtain in the background. My first ever finished crochet project. Go me! Sunday, 29 September 2013. Bendigo Creek, Rosalind Park, Bendigo. They were built in 1882 to ...

The journey of a crafter. Monday, 28 October 2013. Australia and the Titanic. Well the title to this post may be somewhat misleading. I don't think there is a connection between Australia and the Titanic except here.jigsaws. The artwork is by Australian artist Greg Gillespie. Sunday, 27 October 2013. The Bendigo Heritage Mosaic - Rosalind Park. Below the tower, in Rosalind Park, is the Bendigo Heritage Mosaic. The mosaic depicts aspects of Bendigo’s mining history. These photographs really don't do the m...

Nostalgia and Now: April 2013

http://nostalgiaandnow.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Monday, April 22, 2013. When I saw these two at a garage sale on Saturday I just had to have. Aren't they just the most adorable little dust collectors? I don't have a whatnot stand, 'A' would pass out if he came home and we did. He already thinks we live in an old people's home. Thursday, April 18, 2013. Lighting Duo's and storm clouds. These enormous lights are utterly fabulous. But I have nowhere to hang. This is one half of a pair. Nice heavy marble. The woman I purchased these from has had t...A few...

Nostalgia and Now: Crystal Head Vodka

http://nostalgiaandnow.blogspot.com/2012/04/crystal-head-vodka.html

Friday, April 13, 2012. On Wednesday night a package wrapped in newspaper sat on the kitchen bench with a card and bunch of flowers next to it. It was from B – our 5-month old staffy to say thank you. Isn’t he thoughtful? This is what was underneath the newspaper. A bottle of Crystal Head Vodka. Yay. I’d hoped to pick some up when in the States and then forget when leaving NY (and my bags were bursting at the seams). Now Australia stock it! April 13, 2012 at 4:43 PM. April 13, 2012 at 4:48 PM. Im serious...

Pea Jay Kay's Patch: May 2014

http://peajaykayspatch.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Pea Jay Kay's Patch. Monday, 12 May 2014. Christmas in April . . . But cards shown in May :o). April's challenge was to make Christmas cards to put in our stash, in the hopes that it would kick-start us into making them on a regular basis and save the usual last minute rush to get them done. What is Christmas without that sinking/panicking feeling that you've forgotten to send a card to great Aunty Mabel or cousin Boris? Not that I have either, but you know what I mean :o). First up, Liz's parcel. I love...
