wowza liberty

everbodies doin it ...

this crochet pattern i mean..

me too ....in very fine yarn indeedy..

enjoyable...hmmn...have to say yes..

and at this time of the year the anticipation of the new liberty arriving is like having an itch that you can't scratch...

so i was looking through my vintagey bits and just had to share this one with you...in virtual space ..you know what i mean..

off to hook some more..

new yarn..

new yarn..yummnn
i love the essence of the search...the hunting down...
and i found these jewels from the northern hemisphere at juno fiberarts..

finished...

was quite pleased with the crochet top from rowan no 47 ..design from a favorite ...marie wallin..

i did change the yarn from rowan summer tweed to a new yarn called revive...

you can see this design in the flesh at calico&ivy...mosman park..

also have put up the 4" squares on my design wall and a bit more fiddling and twiddling before i can join them up...

might have a nana nap this arvo ...26 degrees overnight and a sweltering 38 now ...and high humidity too...

still we do live in oz!!

keep cool ...

160 already and waiting..

feeling pretty good..

16 piles of 10 different liberty lovelies..

160 4" x 4" =one soon to be quilt..

as soon as my sewing machine is discharged from the sewing machine hospital..

i am going to work it's little butt off...

can't wait..

liberty and dog sitting..

not only am i on nana/mum duties for 3 whole weeks as my daughter is on her nurses prac...no 1 son arrived and asked if i would baby...er puppysit overnight??

here is Hurley [extremely cool surf label ] a cross chihauha /maltese ...but i'm sure he is a midget wolf hound??

so i've been cutting out my next project from my liberty stash..i need 160 different 4'' squares.

no mean feat as i am on a whirlwind ..what with the dogs...the kids...the shopping ra ra ra...

but cutting out is a soothing and replenishing pastime

oh and i forgot ..crocheting ....when i do sit down for 10 mins or so...

counting my blessings

i am praying for all the flood victims on the east coast..

but i cannot watch another media frenzy on the subject.

the tragedy strikes through to the core of your being..

but then you start on a spiral of doom and gloom.

so i have donated and have nothing but absolute and total admiration for all the heroes
my mind then becomes confused and mayhem ensues as i try to ask 'why'

can't answer that one..

so what do you do??

i start a new crochet project to heal me...

you cannot think while repeating ...3 treble into next chain space ra ra ra..

so in my little world i am now ..for the moment...choosing to do some crocheting ...to zone out

so blessings to them all wherever and whoever they are...you are not alone...bless

new year ..new paint

what is with the new year and a desire to renew and refresh??

what better way than a new color to enter your life..

peppermint green for the beach shack...

a truly stark contrast to the cerise bougainvillea growing over the side fence...a little touch of the mediterranean....
