Progress on Halloween Stitching

Well there was little progress this week as spring has sprung and outside duties are calling.

But I did get a little done Sunday afternoon watching the Australian Moto GP.

Week One

Week Two

This is a fun stitch and has little to no back stitching - whoo hoo !!

I found my stash of Ruffle Yarn this weekend, I have been looking for it for months. So I am now on the hunt for things to do with it beyond the basic scarf as I have done these to death.....so stay tuned.

Was In A Fabulous Swap

I am in the most amazing group on Facebook, it is a place I can go when I don't want to post something on my personal page and I know I will get the love, support and kindness of members of this group.

Well recently they held a craft swap and I received the most fabulous gift......

This is just so cute and I love it.

Now as you probably know from reading this blog my crafty talents are limited so this is what I sent my person......

Some fingerless gloves. Now I don't know about you but I love fingerless gloves. And I just hope that the person who receives them has hands about my size LOL.

Started This On The Weekend

This is my latest stitching project and I am loving it so far.

Life got away from me!

Wow since my last blog post, very early this year things have not gone to plan or gone slowly.

But here is a few things I have been up to.

Melbourne

I went to Melbourne in June to celebrate my mothers 75th birthday. She lives in New Zealand and as I live in Perth we thought we would meet half way. It was a fabulous long weekend spent with family in a city that I love.

Panda Exhibition in Federation Square

Looking over towards the MCG across the Yarra River, early evening.

Watched the Bulldogs get smashed by Melbourne at Etihad Stadium

Leaving Etihad after attending the game.

Food Scene

I don't take many photos of what I cook but here are two exceptions.

Asparagus wrapped in Procuitto

Spinach, Pumpkin, Feta Salad

The Salad recipe can be found here Recipe Tin Eats. I recommend that you sign up to this website as the food and recipes are fantastic and most of the time I have the ingredients already to hand.

Bruce the Bat

 We had a visitor one night. I didn't even know that we had bats in Perth. Unfortunately Bruce didn't survive through the night.
