TAKE TIME TO SMELL THE ROSES

The gentleness of the petals, the intense colour, the fragrance that wafts from the flowers - they are a few of the reasons I love my garden.

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.
