Garden Girl

                    Inspired by Cleo Mussi, I've been breaking plates and creating this girl.   

A few finishing touches and she can enjoy the garden.

Playing

Well it's been a while since I popped in here, time is just flying by.

Last weekend I spent with my besties in the beautiful Clare Valley. Kath doesn't own any cows but we woke up Sunday morning to discover 8 cows circling the house.

Apparently they liked the look of the property so pushed their way through the fence and came to say Hello!

We did manage a little sewing in between laughing, eating and drinking.

Sue drafted this pattern for me and told me to add 5 mm to each pattern piece, there were supposed to be 7 pieces to this vest but unfortunately I have a slight problem of some sort, measuring maybe, and ended up with the vest being way to big and had to remove two panels completely!

I cut the vest from a boiled wool jacket and finished the neck edge with a felted jumper band.

Sue made a little felted broach to cover my bad stitching and finish the vest off.

The studio cat did his best to help out!

I had a great weekend, Thank you.

Secrets

I've been bevearing away in the shed working on a special birthday project for my Bestie.

I've loved every minute of it, 

making this girl come to life.

The hunt for china, the thrill of the chase and

finally was Royal Pirate Queen was finished.

Fast February

Beaches to play on,

sand castles to build,

Chinese New year to celebrate, 

and enjoy with friends,

sunrises to watch,

Mosaics to make,

and fences to peek over.

Joining in with Tinniegirl and SundaySnippets, great to see her back in blogland. 

These Boots

How fabulous are these Alice in Wonderland boots.

Oh you would feel so special wearing these.

Yum

This is amazing coloured sea glass, looks like a fabulous plate of jelly beans.

Sadly the most common colour I find on our beaches is brown.
