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.

My Creative Space...

Looks a little like this today.

Lists and knitting -we are heading camping over the weekend - the days have turned warmer and Spring is in the air. And to help me out and make sure that we hopefully arrive with everything we need there is a list.

See you all next week. 

Enjoy your weekend and be sure to pop over here

Thankyou

Thankyou to all those who helped out and put in a bid in the little Auction that I had on the blog last week.

An extra special thanks to Steph and her family who put in the winning bid.

I recieved an email from Isobel's Mum who was thrilled and "speechless" of how wonderful and thoughtful someone could be who did not even personally know them would do such a beautiful thing.  It is my pleasure Dionne.

The new yarn has arrived and I am going to attempt to knit it in secret.  It is s hard to keep anything away from Amelia at the moment and she knows that it is her birthday soon andshe always gets something new for the occassion.

Blue Beach Top

Shop sample completed for American Yarns

A lovely quick little project or the upcoming cooler wether (we had a lovely warm day here yesterday and the sun is out again today - so Spring is just around the corner)

The yarn is Fibranatura Links.  I loved working with this yarn and if you are looking for a 10ply cotton for your Spring/Summer knitting that will not split - try this. It is 100% Organic Cotton, it's construction is amazing - it almost looks like an i-cord.

I will knit another of these for Amelia - she has requeted a pink one (we are going through a little phase at the moment)
