A
very warm greeting to you all. We are having a very wet Spring in our part of
the world and this morning it is windy, wet and every now and then the sun
peeks through the clouds. Last night the wind and rain woke me up it was that
wild and woolly! Lol. I went to the library during the week and found two very
sweet books that had to come home with me. The first little treasure explains
the different types of tea: teatime; tea in the garden: high tea etc. It is a
very interesting read. Maybe you can find it available at your library?
A
very cute book of cross stitch.
You will love this one too.
Too sweet
We
had such lovely weather yesterday that I had time for weeding and planting new
shrubs. We have a giant sized pile of wood chips to put over the garden before
the summer sets in, so I have started to move them into the garden. Most of the
wood chipping will be done over the coming holidays and I will need all that
time to move it!!
A
quick trot through my garden.......
The front
yard is starting to look good......
A view of the sky this
morning.....
Can’t
help admire the flower on the grevillia bush, just love it!
Oh
surprise, surprise, yes there is knitting too. I found this super free pattern
on the net. Knitted in 8ply, size 8 needles for me (perhaps different for you).
It is a top down pattern, so easy with few threads to sew in. No surprise to
those who visit my blog.....no buttons stitched on yet!! Lol. Click here for
the pattern.
A
recent visit to the local craft shop had this gorgeous yarn come home with me.
I’ve knitted with Fantasia before and it’s
incredibly nice to knit with. If you can get a hold of some, do try it.
I
have found a wonderful use for this spare box.......
A bit
of style in my quest to hide all my UFO”s......he’ll never find them!!
Well
I haven’t had brekky yet and the old tummy is a rumblin’. Need to solve that
problem. I have no Heather to tease, she's on holidays in QLD. Hope you’re enjoying yourself girlie!! Best wishes to you all and
have a happy relaxing Sunday.
Cheers,
Anita.

Lovely books to curl up with. We are very dry over here and quite warm. My poor garden is sad. Love grevilleas so pretty.
The garden looks lovely indeed Enjoy spreading those chips
Another lovely cardigan, and I love your box of treasure
So pleased to see you are getting some good rain. Definitely great for your garden. And isn't it looking wonderful! As always, beautiful knitting. Is it only a week until you are on holidays. They have already started here.
Your garden is certainly waking up for spring, it's looking lovely. Our weather has been wet too but a least it's starting to warm up a little. Looking forward to some gardening tomorrow, it's supposed to be about 25 and fine!!! Yay
Nice books are always welcome when the weather is so-so. Glad you had one day nice weather to check out your garden. We need rain here... a dry beginning of spring. Lovely yarn!
Wish I could share some of our sunshine with you! I love the cardi, so cute! Oh here is another trick for you :) I always use cloth bags when I bring new yarns or fabric home... They won't know any better then - lol
What a lovely Garden!
I heard this morning that you have been having some extraordinary weather. Hope it clears soon.
Hooray for rain! I wish we were having some. I love your sweater! I need to read about the different teas. That would be really interesting.
