We had rain last night, but this morning dawned bright, clear and cold. My favourite kind of day. I had a lot of fun in the garden with crocheted brooches.
And then the sunnyboys got in the act.
(I think my buddleja needs a desperate, desperate prune.)
We concluded with a grand finale from the needle books.
Yes, the shop has been updated.
In very exciting news, Ravelympics 2008 begins tonight. I'm batting for Team Oz, and I'm contesting the Sweater Sprint and the Mitten Medley. I am so organised - the patterns were sorted a month ago. Yet also so disorganised - I have yet to decide on yarn for either project, let alone do a test gauge. So we may be off to a false start.
And in other exciting news, the Canberra Quilt and Craft Fair is on at the moment, and the quilt I was showing off a couple of weeks ago is in it. It didn't get a prize (I am not a very good quilter, so never expect them), but I helped put the quilts up on Wednesday morning and they are spectacular, especially Jenny Bowker's winning quilt. I'm headed there on the weekend to do some stunt quilting, so I'll see more then.
oh that first photo! I love it!!!!
