Hey! It's Ned Kelly.

Such is

life.

-Ned Kelly.

I have been eyeing Ned Kelly off for a long time now,

and this weekend I had the time to make him.

I spotted Ned in an edition of Homespun No.16 (Vol 4.2) and now

that I have a library to tend to, I am going to have a

Ned Kelly display. The Head piece and armour is

made from toilet rolls and painted with folk art

paint. The original pattern has fasteners attached to it

but as the children will pick these off, I decided to

miss those out.

I dig the groovy eyebrows.

I can't wait to get to work tomorrow and get this display up.

A couple of weeks ago Bev sent me an email, she had

seen some really cute gnomes that I would love to make.

Some have already made their way to the library, so

these are the ones still at home....oh only until tomorrow.

Go here if you want to knit them. I have had to stop

myself and get on with other things.

I had some time this weekend to get stuck into some

sewing as Pixie and Cory went off gokarting. It was just me

and Brandon.

 I needed some bags to put the chess pieces (at the library)

in. So I found some scrap material and churned out a few.

I went digging through the bag of material Ruth gave me and

remembered the little animal blocks, so I stitched those

together as well.

I had to stitch one block up, the rest were already

made for me. The little wall hanging has turned out

fairly long, and I found a good use for a hanger that

had been 'hanging' around for ages.

                                           I love how bright these blocks are!

I love this one.

Oh I did manage some housework in amongst all this

free activity time. I am woman...multi talented! Now that

my weekend went really well, in many ways, I had

better think about some afternoon tea. All the best for the week ahead.

Kind regards, Anita.

oops!...another one.
