Lots to Do



Well this is my third post and if anyone is reading this ,it has been a success!
Lots to do,in my garden heaps,after work of course, but its looking fantastic!!!!!!!

Just look at these blue bells, we had a very cold few days during winter this year and I think this helped the bulbs,well I'm pretty sure as there actually a report of some snow near Lake Lefroy ,Norseman and near Kalgoorlie,and one morning at work there was ice at least 5mm thick till ten . It was freezing!!!!

My garden is looking fantastic, and it is mostly what should be in there too!! I took My two youngest boys to the nursery and spent some hard earned dollars on some fantastic petunias, lobelias,red salvias,Though I wanted blue ones, and two convulous,and a beautiful leusinaultia. Not sure how to spell that, but shines at dusk and its indescribable, the iridesant blue, I hope I can get it to grow and that my Tilly JR, doesn't stomp on it!!!!

On the knitting front ,I knitted this for my Mum while talking to her on Sunday via phone,Its possum wool called Merino and Furand knits up really well.Apparently its great for felting,but I have front loader,a necessity for a large family in a low rain fall area!,so haven't tried any projects yet.i might try it by hand but need to research first.

I have nearly finished the fancy soxs (see previous post) and vow to get them done this week as I have heaps to do!!!! lots of sock stuff and am hoping to add to my stash with some new opal wool that should be in Sunspun shortly,they are going to call me,so better budget for it as I think it will be a bit pricey.

Well thats it for now, hope this works.

Well here we go, my 2nd post, isn't my school garden doing well, just love these flowers!!!!
Now look at my current project.................... its above the plants, for some reason this site is being difficult tonite. These are a beautiful socks in 8ply and fairly quick and hopefully I will complete the second this week.
I am going to keep trying to add to this post and hopefully learn on the way to improve and MAKE it do what I want!!!!!!
Well it wouldn't go in the sequence I wanted, so I'll leave this for now at least I had fun!!!!!!! and you can see I have doing something besides adding to my stash,,,,which I will talk about another time......

My Very First Post



Well here goes,
This is my very first blog and I'm looking forward to keeping up with entries and learning more about making it interesting to those who might venture into its depths.

I am right into craft of all different things, but mainly fibre works such as knitting and spinning and even a bit of crochet. My big aim this week is to order a brand new Roberta Electronic spinning wheel from the man himself,Ian spark from Ertoel in Sydney. its a costly little thing and I will only be getting the machine and its carry bag at this stage.

I hope to learn how to post my digdy photos on here so next post will hopefully, have some interesting things.
