where has all the time gone.....I will be thinking about Christmas very soon. I have been so busy knitting for a sale at the Old Fire Station Community Arts Centre in Kiama with another sale coming up in a couple of weeks, I have been forgetting to take photos. DH and I have been busy painting the inside of our home now that we are along in the house again. It is so quiet, we miss our family but they are enjoying being out in their own place and we are enjoying being home along again. I have turned my son and daughter inlaws room into a guest bedroom, well in the process, the painting is do ..read more

How fast is this year going, it is already March. My knitting has been busy, messy and enjoyable. I had my felted slippers at work and was asked to make two more pairs. I was very happy that people thought they were so nice. I was fortunate that I had already decided to make more pairs mainly for selling at the Old Fire Station in June and had purchased more of the Murano yarn from Bendigo Woollen Mills. I knit both pairs fairly quickly and then put them in the wash, here was my first brain fade, I put them in with a full load of washing and obviously not hot enough water, so back into ..read more

January Knitting....still some to come
Ruby Girl

January has been a busy month all around. I have had 3 family birthdays, my wedding anniversary, some holidays from work (only 12 days before and after Christmas through to the New Year). Going back to work during Summer holidays is hard, especially since we have been having some very hot weather. The past three weeks we have had some terrible bush fires across the country and some very close to where I live. We haven't had much rain and the ground is very dry with most of the grass being a very dry brown now, which makes bush fires extremely dangerous. Now since Saturday night we are having ..read more

2013 has started out very busy with knitting. I was way behind in what I wanted to knit for the local argricultural shows held in January. I couldn't make up my mind last week if I would enter, I had some things nearly knitted and some just needed sewing together. I decided last weekend that if I finished knitting the short sleeve cardigan that I would enter, so I knit and I knit and then knit some more and finally got it finished and sew together, it is a winter short sleeve cardigan/vest type thing. I love it, it turned out really nice. Other knitting for my local Albion Park Show to be hel ..read more

it is still hot and humid.....it is raining outside after an electrical storm and I am hoping that it cools things down for the rest of the night. I have put the christmas gifts in the calico bags some of which are over 25 years old, I made them for my boys, nieces, friends boys and they are put to good use every year for gifts that fit, lollies etc.  and the newer ones are 4 years old and were made when my grandaughter was born and one for each of my two daughter inlaws. I havent put Ruby's stocking out this year as sadly Ruby was put to rest on 1 December, she had a short but very dig ..read more

One week at a time

The time seems to be just flying by.....I do seem to get a few things done, but not as fast as I would like.....I guess there are no magic wands around to help out. I am working on another crochet rug that my MIL was doing before she died. I have finished two of them and decided to finish another square she had started for my FIL as he said that my MIL was going to make him one to replace his old one which has just about fallen to pieces. I will get this done and give it to him for Christmas. I did finish the cotton top I was doing it came up pretty nice, probably a bit big in the armhole ar ..read more

Getting things in order

I am still trying to organise my life so I can fit in all the things I love to do, I am getting so far behind in everything. I have decided that I won't be madly knitting each month for the monthly handmade markets in Albion Park anymore, I have enjoyed attending the markets, but I have to knit so much (not a bad thing you maybe thinking) and nothing else seems to be getting done. The garden is getting to be a real mess, and I don't seem to be enjoying my knitting as much. I love to knit, but I love to knit what I want to, not what I think others will buy. I have put photos up on my knitting ..read more

Where has it gone?

the year is just flying by, so busy and not enough time. My solution to that is to try to decluttter my home and live slow. If only I had the time to do that. I make lists, so many lists, every week I make a list of what to do......some things get done, many don't. My mood can change at a drop of a hat.....I can be motivated and going great guns, then something will happen, someone wants something, a thought in my head, I am trying to stop my head self talk, it can really get in the way sometimes. I can't believe my last post was back in January, oh my hopes for blogging more.....well we can ..read more
