CHOCOLATE MOUSSE THROW

Here are the instructions for creating this beautiful Throw and Cushion cover. It can be made in any yarn of your choice. Click on the pictures to enlarge them.

RAINY DAY

It's a very rainy day here today on the Gold Coast. A great day to touch and feel and caress yarn! All was quiet, and suddenly a Lion cub pounced in making the biggest growls you have ever heard.
Grey skies seem to make the grass and shrubs appear a little greener
and the flowers a little brighter
and the buds almost ready to spring open. This is such a pretty bush, has beautiful waxy flowers, and when they open I'll post a picture.

Spotlight has a new Get Creative Magazine just released. There are 2 beautiful Throws and a Cushion cover in the Magazine created on The Butterfly Loom. Tomorrow I will post pictures and the patterns for you.

I'm off to find some pretty yarn amongst my stash to send my great niece Caitlin,so she can make herself a Scarf. I'm hoping she will send me a picture of it when it is finished so I can post her creation.

A DAISY A DAY

We had rain so I decided to have a look around the garden
and each of these Daisies were nodding at me saying
"Take a picture of me - I'm the prettiest by far"
I think this one is my favourite - but then how can I hurt the other Daisies' feelings - they are all beautiful -

UP, UP AND AWAY

Tia created this gorgeous scarf - a delight for any little girl . She used the Small Loom, and two of her favourite Yarns, worked 13 motifs and slip stitched them together, and added a quick fringe.

Early morning, the sun was just rising and a Hot Air Balloon with Tourists in the Basket was silently gliding across the sky. Notice the color of the Tulip Tree beneath the Balloon - amazing!

I heard Kookaburras laughing and swung the camera around and could see them way off sitting out on the limb of a Gum Tree, and it was if they were saying "Look at us, take a picture of us too". If you click on the picture to enlarge it, you will be able to see them.

TIME MOVES ALONG

THANKS FOR THE RAIN

We had 4" of rain yesterday, and thought I'd wander out into the garden to see how things were, and much to my suprise found this beautiful Orchid swaying in the breeze, still covered in raindrops -

and the Brazilian Dancing Girl in all her glory.

EVERY LITTLE GIRL'S DREAM

Every little girl loves to create with yarn. Grab a ball of your favourite yarn, wrap and knot a small Board, and create 6 Motifs. Join 4 together into a circle, using a slip stitch, and then join the 5th one to the bottom of the circle. With the 6th Motif, put it over dolly's head creating a little dress.

Thread ribbon through the top of the little purse - great place to keep your dolly. Something to treasure, or give to a special friend.
