My Creative Space

Sorry for the disappearance.  I have been here and still crafting and dreaming of the warmer weather that is knocking on our door.

I finished this last week and it is on it's way across the sea to a special destination as part of the Here comes the sun swap.

I am still knit knit knitting the length of the dress for Amelia and hoping that I can have that off of the needles this weekend.  The invites for her party are all rolled up and ready to give out to her little friends.  How cute do they look!

Hopefully I will have a knitted dress to show of next week.  For more creative spot pop over to Kootoyoo

All dressed up...

with somewhere to go.

We headed out on Saturday night to a Wedding.

I knitted a new shrug to cover the shoulders when we headed out on the terrace to view the fire works that were Riverfire and to see the last time the F1-11's will ever fly in our skies.

For details on the shrug head over to Ravelry .

Shadow Shot Sunday

I thought that I would join in with this meme this week.

A shot of Eme, Tim, Baden and Amelia while camping last weekend.

Daffodils and Hoping...

As most of you would know today is Daffodil Day.  The Cancer Councils big fundraiser for the year.

Make sure you stop and pick up a bunch or a pen or a cute little bear if you find a stand at our local grocery store.  No, change that, hunt them down and find  bunch. 

We picked up a bunch today and Amelia is also going to take a flower each for her Kindergarten teachers.

Remembering those that we have lost and hoping and praying that they will one day find a cure for this not so silent killer.

-----------------------------------------------

Do Daffodils get you thinking of Spring?

It is just around the corner and I am missing that we dont have our own popping out of the ground this year as we did last year. 

If you are finding something to do this weekend and hoping for a little sunshine on your back and in the Brisbane area maybe you would like to take a drive:
festiValley is on out at Samford on Saturday
and Sunday Newstead House is celebrating it's 164th Birthday with free cake with a Spring Affair

my creative space...

Still has this in it this week.  It is taking me longer that I hoped for - and silly me asked Amelia if she would like top or dress lengh - guess what she choose.  So knit, knit, knit I shall go.

I am also in the process of gathering supplies for the little miss' 5th birthday celebrations.   How on earth did she get to turning 5 so soon.

Thanks for visiting and if you haven't make sure you pop over to Kootoyoo's and see what else is happening in other's creative spaces.

At Our House...

We are home from a quick weekend getaway to the bush and today at our place is once again the sound of the enegy sucking electrical appliances (the weather has turned cold and overcast)

I am glad that we got out for the weekend (we almost did not go - but took the weatherman's advise of fine over the weekend with rain on Friday and Monday) We went to a new location this time and the kids had a great time.  The camp ground is well st up and has pleanty of flat places for the kids to ride there bikes (which provided hours of entertainment) 

Little to no knitting was done, as river and fire watching was on the agender for the weekend.
