AUTUMN COLOURS IN THE SMOKIES

I just finished this Throw lastnight and I love it.
The colours are beautiful, rich, warm and mysterious.  

I loomed on a Rectangle and a Small Board with 
the Fiammone,  knotted with Patons Zhivago in a beautiful smokey charcoal colour, and crochet with
Millefolie , which has a mixture of colours and gold/maroon sparkle going through it.





With this yarn I thee make..

I must say I LOVE MY NEW THROW.

THROWS FOR GRANTHAM

Our Circle of Friends at the Spotlight
Craft Party, made the squares on the
Butterfly Loom, and thanks to Jan for the
beautiful crochet she did for us, around each square.  These Throws are to go to 2 little children in the Grantham area, which was badly affected by the Queensland floods, and we have to make one more rug for their little brother.



The purple rug has sparkles all though it, and is indeed very pretty for a little girl.
Thanks everyone for your kindness.

SOMETHING SPECIAL

Carol, this wrap is very special.
Created on the large Butterfly 
Loom,and tied here and there with pretty Silk Ribbon.

OUR HOME - ON ST PATRICK'S DAY

Oh you should have been here this morning!

We get up around 5:30, my husband called me outside

"Quick, run out here and bring the camera and DON'T YELL"

Hanging half down from our roof was a SNAKE with a rat with its tail still swishing, disappearing into the Snake's mouth.  I took a photo, and ran back inside and locked the doors.  The picture is very blurry and my Grandkids will be disappointed.  Then a little bit later I ventured out and saw the beauty of a very still, peaceful morning.

These are so pretty, not sure what they are called, but I will look it up.

I know this is called the Sandpaper plant, and it is a climber.

Then I swung my camera down to the River and I saw what I thought was a bright light of some kind, then I realized it was the sun just coming up and shining on a Palm, and I kinda wanted the whole world to see it.  Happy I saw all the beautiful things in Nature, dulled the snake imagine - but then some folks would have loved to have witnessed that - not this little duck!

CRAFT PARTY

THANK YOU SPOTLIGHT we had such a great day at the Craft Party and it was fun being able to teach so many Crafters how to use The Butterfly Loom.
We were able to make enough squares for a Throw for a little girl and her baby sister, and next Craft Party we will make a Throw for the little brother.  These little children were caught up in the Grantham Floods, and we thought they might like their very own Throws.   It was a pleasure to be able to walk around and help folk choose 3 bags full of yarn for their very own Throw.
Thanks for a great day.
