favourite moment...

 Sharing Strawberries by the Sea (there was a little bartering going on here - notice the pile in his lap)  

Joining in with Soulemama.

My Creative Space...

this week has been another of those mad weeks and I am starting to get the feeling that things are not going to slow down between now and packing everything in the truck in 12 weeks.

The aim this week is to blog between Thursdays.  There are 7 days in a week after all and I seem to be sharing alot of started things and not finishing anything at the moment. 

So for good measure here is something that I have started today.  Birthday preparations for a little girls who will turn 6 in a few weeks - SIX - how on earth has that happened???

For creative spaces with finished somethings make certain you pop in to Our Creative Spaces.  I have to run, or I will be late for a very important date...

My Creative Space...

I'm BACK...

Have a few things on the go at the moment - needles and hooks are a clicking with a few deadlines thrown in.  More on those later.

For now you will have to just admire the next colour round of this.

Today though as been full of chasing my tail from one appointment to the next with the creativity coming from those that tan, dye and snip.  We are off to a grand ball on the weekend.  Am I excited?  Oh yes I am. For more creativity, pop over to the home of Thursday Creativity.

Coming up for air...

... still here.

Sorry for the break in transmission.  It has been crazy busy here and I mean crazy.

The school fair was on over the weekend.  Not much in the way of crafting of the yarn type has been occurring around here.  My hands have been a little too sticky.  But with a fab team of Mum's (grandma's and aunties too) we managed to pull together 1000 jars of jams, chutneys, relishes and preservatives.  What an effort.
Here are they all ready for sale.

My parents were down for the weekend and Grandpa managed to win the Auction for 4 tickets to the Rugby League on Sunday.  What a fathers day gift:)

Thanks Dad for taking us.  It was the first ever game of football I think I have sat through in my life (I was very tempted to pull out my knitting - but behaved myself)

We were in the crowd after the match.  The first time patrons have been able to go out onto the field after a Bronco's game. The kids took the opportunity for a quick tackle!

I am hoping that things will start to slow down soon before the moving side of it ramps up and I loose my breath again.  Hoping that things will slow down after next weekend and I can find sometime to pop around blogland and catchup on a few blogs.

My Creative Space...

...today is filled with 50 little circles awaiting the next stage in the construction line.

I will get there (and should be doing 100 other things other than starting something new)

My Creative Space

The Rainbow is finished and popped away so I am not tempted to wear it.  (The weather has turned cold and overcast today - hello first day of the EKKA)

This only took one ball of Mini Mochi and it is Divine - If you are looking for a rainbow scarf then this is your wool (although Amelia has advised me that it is not a correct rainbow as it doesn't have pink in it - I can't keep everyone happy)  All of the pattern and yarn details can be found on Ravelry.

I have an extra ball here and I might just have to cast one on for myself.  I have a few things that I have to do first (at the top of the list is a bolero for a bride ekkk - exciting and terrifying all at the same time)

And we have a house - now lets hope that everyone involed plays nice and I we will be able to move in before Christmas.

 Hope that everyone is having a colourful creative day.

The Bucket List

the Brisbane bucket that is...

We are on the move again - I am up to my eye balls in removal information and paper work at the moment + add in schools this move and there has been very little blogging and craft time happening.

I am going to start making a list - The Brisbane Bucket List.

Out and Wild:  Daisy Hill Koala Sauntury, Botenical Gardens, Mt Coottha, Beach???, Strawberry Picking
Carnival of Flowers
City Living:  GOMA, Picnic at South Bank, Riverfire,
Holiday: Rainbow Beach, Harvey Bay, Home

Eating:  Montrachet; eccobistro; Urbanerestaurant; The Crosstown Eating House

Catching up:  CM girls, all the wonderful friends we have made here.

If you have any ideas for me please let me know and I will add them - I already think that we need a posting back so I can do them all:)

Promise that I will get around to  commenting, crafting and blogging soon.  There will be another list coming in the near future, the: 'things to make to keep us warm' list.
