Tweet Done! After a “bit brisk” start to the morning … bit brisk is how my Grandad describes cold weather – you know, frost on the grass, the temperature gauge has almost hit zero and he goes out to feed the chickens and ducks in his shorts, a short sleeved shirt, work boots and the vest [...]
Tweet if you would like to share your ~loveliness found~ moments from this week … & I would so love it if you did … please leave them in the comments or share a link to your place! ~ picnicking at a magical spot where rolling green hills meet the glittering blue sea underneath a [...]
Tweet Ahhhh … you know where we are, don’t you. Yes, Abby, Sacha and I have made the trek across the Gippsland and are spending a week with Mum in marvellous Merimbula. Oh how I do love this sweet seaside village. Only a few more years and our family will be moving up here. Until [...]
Tweet Ha! A finish – and an outing for the finished piece! Always such a good feeling :-) I started this cardie back in December with mum – she’s making one in the same colours but hers is icy blue with red, cream and brown details. It’s from the Autumn 2012 edition of Interweave’s Crochet [...]
Tweet The day was grey, drizzly and cool. Sensible folk were staying indoors. But my dear old Grandad is not so sensible – especially according to some of the women in his life. So, when I suggested a quick drive to Haycocks Point – the furtherest rocky outcrop to the south that we can see [...]
Tweet Okay. These are utterly and completely family photos. Taken on Mum’s front porch - where the colours are so pretty and the view so exquisite – the morning before the aunties and grandparents left for their northern homes. A small memento of their special summer together – three sisters with their mama and dada. [...]
Tweet I know! Another lace handkerchief crocheted whilst sitting on a summer’s beach. I did just this last summer too. It must because the dear little fabric store, down in the town, sells these lovely pure cotton handkerchiefs. Right near them – a basket full of reduced DMC crochet yarn. It was just too much [...]
Tweet Well, there’s been exciting times down here on the Far South Coast. Exciting, that is, when your heart is racing, your mouth is dry, the butterflies have escaped your tummy and are fluttering up and down your arms as well, and you simply cannot sit still for longer than 30 seconds before you have [...]
Tweet Now my old Grandad is an intrepid adventurer but when he saw this staircase last week, even he had to admit that he was perhaps past climbing 84 steps. Such a shame :-) because at the bottom lies a remarkable treasure – the Blue Pool. Built in the 1930s – a Great Depression Project [...]
Tweet After almost an hour of twisting, turning, sliding, plummeting, inching, and bumping along the most alarming dirt track I have ever adventured along, this is the sweet sight that greeted us. Oh with what relief we stretched our legs and trotted off, these gorgeous, freshly whitewashed chimney pots – almost luminescent against the deep [...]
