 Let the real knitting and crocheting begin!

Hi there ladies! I'm pretty happy right now, I have one more commissioned piece to make and I'm done with orders for a while. Sadly and, in one way, happy because the markets this month were cancelled due to the unpredictable weather we were expecting. Sad because I didn't make some extra dollars but glad because it gives me one whole month of knitting or crocheting whatever I like. It gives me a chance to use some of my ever growing stash of yarn in the sewing shed.

Since I blogged last I've been doing lots of group walks out in the bush. A group of us have started the Kep Track that starts in the Avon Valley and goes all the way to Mundaring. We have been walking it in sections. One day we walked 24kms!! 😲....that one was tough. lol 

Along the way we have come across some interesting sites, some found only in Australia. 😂

The photo below is Maria and I standing in the door way of an old brick factory entrance. The factory has been abandoned for many years and I bet the walls have many stories to tell. 

As a child one of my favourite things to do was to walk along the pipelines. Here I have relived my childhood and had Zari join me. 😁
I enjoy historical buildings and history a little more than the natural beauty, but one would have to agree that the Australian bush is just incredible.
In typical Australian style you often have wildlife walking right passed you. Can you see it in this photo? 🦘 

He joined us for a fair distance.

I am enjoying school holidays at the moment and I've been spending time with my Great niece and nephews. We had a games day recently, what fun it was.
One of my little partners in crime and I having a little sit down to rest our weary feet at the show. Don't be fooled by Chris's innocent looking face. She is just like me. 😂😂😂😂
So the holidays have been filled with lots of walking and exercising but I have been doing lots of craft work as well. Crocheted topped tea towels for a customer......💖

                                          The last of the finger less mitt orders. 🎉
This little girls jacket is loaded with bright splashy colour!!!!!! The bright buttons make me happy, the bright rows of yarn make me happy, and the fact that there was hardly any sewing in ends, make me happy. lol Lots of left over yarn used up here and I am a happy girl. It was one of those projects that was the reward after making so many other things that were commissioned works.




I am having a big cull in the sewing shed and I have come across a bag of soft chunky yarn that I'm going to use first up. It will give me so much free space in that shed once I have used it. Looking forward to that. 🌷🌷🌷🌷

Well lovely people, it is time for me to actually do some thing. I plan on continuing the cull and that mean filling the trailer up again to do another dump run. Wherever you are in our beautiful world......namiste! 💟 

Ciao, Anita.

You have been having some difficult weather over the last few weeks. I am not surprised that the market was cancelled.
Lovely pics of all your activities.
