Just have to say that your Holiday away looked lovely and relaxing! Fab photos too!
leafy green
Here is some leafy green goodness from our holiday as an antidote for the cold rainy weather here. Looking at those leafy scenes from the island are nearly enough to warm me up, but I think the heater is also in order. I made a couple of things for today's shop update from some Japanese le...

What a awesome idea! Very cute indeed and practical too!
wrap around for autumn
This is a wraparound cardigan I made for Keira when the autumn chill started creeping in last week. It's made from two old cardigans of mine, but I think they're much nicer like this. I used a chocolate-brown one for the sleeves and one front and a charcoal grey for the remaining pieces. And...
I have to say that I'm really hooked on this stitching thing ~ it's a good hobby to have while chilling out watching TV at night! Thanks for popping in Joanna!!!
inspiration
I've been inspired by some lovely "creative" books with alot of "William Morris" type designs . . . . so hence my being in the "creative zone" and stitching up of different creative pieces. To be honest I've got so many pieces that I've experimented with that I really have to get onto sewing...

The book looks charming ~ it looks like one similar to some that I've been given recently ~ just LOVE the illustrations!!!!
botanicals
One good thing about moving and packing is discovering old treasures again, like books for example. When I was hastily packing dusty books into cardboard boxes last month, I came across my copy of The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady by Edith Holden. I did some botanical-type embroide...
Welcome Francesca and thanks for popping in ~ I have to say that I was intrigued by your Squid Risotto ~ very unusual combination indeed but sure it would be yum for those who like that kinda of thing! :-)

an old house
Hello and happy new year! Here are a few bits of our new house in the capital city. We are living in one of the inner-city suburbs, but we are lucky enough to have a big old house (I think almost 100 years old) with a flat garden out the back for the kids to play in. We've been here fo...
