Each changing season begins its
own blessings, purpose, and beauty.
Today, Brandon and I went for a drive around the country side,
ticking up more hours toward his logbook. We only have a few more hours left to
drive and then the final part of his driving test. We have the best conversations while we are driving around. Whilst travelling through
the fair countryside, we came across this aging homestead called Glenfield
Homestead. It must’ve been a grand beauty in her time and just admire that
chimney. How many evenings around the warm fire place and who were the people who lived there, how many children were in that house?
Country roads, take me home...
I want to share with you some of the chemo caps I have made for
precious Deb. The variegated pink cap is a slightly changed version of a
pattern I found in ravelry. I added more cuff and in the middle of the cuff I
added a row of eyelets to thread a cord through. The variegated orange in
autumn colours is one I made up. The cuff just has a twist in it. I have made a
blue and soft orange cap in bamboo and cotton, because the head can get very
hot with a warm beanie on for all day wear.
I have shot off to the left field a bit here and have made a couple
of buntings for the library. I intend to add more buntings to the library, so
this is perhaps a new tangent for me to spin off!! If only I could put my
knitting needles down for a second.
It
looks like party time!!
The weather has turned a bit around our part of the world. These
photo’s were taken at 5.10pm and incredibly dark for this time of the day. We
are now in the winter season, so being this dark so early will become normal
very soon. We did receive some much welcomed rain and good for our farmers.
Most of the paddocks around here have been ploughed so roll on the rain and all
the best for a good crop this year.
In Western Australia we are enjoying a long weekend. We are
celebrating what was Foundation Day and now known as Western Australia Day. My
weekend so far has been the usual chores, yard work and a lovely visit to my
sister Rosa. The rest of the weekend will be spent doing some more sewing and
bothering my husband, which is my favourite pass time. To those celebrating the
long weekend, may you enjoy your long weekend. To everyone else, may you have a
lovely weekend.
Cheers, Anita.

Great to see the driving lessons coming along so well. I think it's a great bonus that you get to see the countryside in the process. That's a lovely photo of the old homestead.
I am sure all the lovely chemo caps you have made will be greatly appreciated by your friend - it's a lovely selection.
Enjoy the rest of your long weekend.
OOOO Anita - you really know how to ROCK those knitting needles! I ADORE all of your beautiful knit projects. I will always think your are the BOMB as kids say around here. LOL
