Always remember.... you are braver than you believe,

 stronger than you seem, 

💕loved more than you know 💕

 Well hello there you lovely people 🌹 I hope all is going good for you wherever you may be in the world. Our weather has slowly made the long anticipated change that we, in Australia, are waiting for. In my part of Australia anyway . The nights are cooler with a subtle breeze, and the daylight hours are leaving us a little earlier at the end of the day.

Another thing that has come to an end is my holidays, though these ones were a very testing time for me. I have had this broken tendon that has plagued me for months, however I am at healing stage and can remove the splint more and more each week. At this time also I have had two weeks of chemotherapy cream applied to my nose to kill the cancer cells that have been growing. My nose is like a big hard rock and as red as Rudolph the red nosed reindeer 😅and I am not feeling at all well. The good news is though that the treatment is behind me and on I go. 👌

There is always a balance in life, and even though I've had some challenges, I also have some amazing news.....I can crochet and knit again. 🎉🎈🎉

I'm very happy about that!!!! 😂😂

 Here is my bag collection so far, a few are missing as they have been sold.

While hunting through my yarn stash I came across some leftover bits so they turned into this cute little baby cardigan and woolly hat set.

This sweet sleeveless baby cardigan is another product made from left over yarn too. I had a ball of white and a variegated colour and put them together, so it is an 8 ply piece of work. The pattern is a free download from the internet and one of my favourites.

I must've been on a bit of a roll with using scraps because this beautiful creation is exactly that. There is no actual pattern for it though. What I did was made a few granny squares and joined them together and then found a yoke pattern from the internet and went from there. 

This will fit a child aged four or five years old. I have always been drawn to bright colours and stripes. The different coloured buttons will also add to all that brightness going on.

Another made up pattern is the Bananas in Pajamas coat hanger. I think I cast on 70 stitches and knitted in blue and while stripes and just kept going until it fit the coat hanger. lol 

Now that we have a kitten, I discover that they are a fair bit of work. Every day I have to vacuum the house. All the fluff and pieces of stuff that is chewed up and left all over every floor in the house is unreal!! Frank thinks he owns everything.....

....and when he has finished exploring and destroying everything.........😇💕💕

I have also realized that Milo has way too many balls and toys left all over the yard as well. Each ball is carefully rolled around and then promptly punctured.😂 Now it is time for me to continue my day.

Milo having a quiet word to Moses. Probably about all his toys.

My big itchy, red nose are out of here to find some sort of mischief to get into. Sending you good wishes.

Ciao, Anita.  🌺🌺

Well hello there! Still not much action here due to this rotten old broken tendon, but I thought I'd drop a quick line to say hello and show a few little makes of mine.

I finished off this very pretty poncho by adding a yellow tassel to the ends of the tie. It was almost sold at the markets yesterday but the lady felt it was too big for her grandchild. 

People had a good laugh at the black baby set and that would've sold too except the lady had no one to give it to. I'm so glad that there are many people with a crazy sense of humour like me. 😆😋

(For my lovely Italian friends the words on the garment reads: The sleep that you ordered is currently Out of stock!)

I had bought a beautiful pedestal off a lady in town on our local buy and sell page on Facebook and as we were saying goodbye I noticed this incredible garden urn in her yard. She mentioned she was also going to be selling that and I asked her to keep me in mind. It is now in my garden.

Our autumn is slowly buy surely coming to us, though the heat does not want to go away without a struggle. lol Today is a warm, humid 28C but we have the rain softly falling. A nice change and a good sign that the cooler weather will soon be here.

Below is an order I still managed to make for a customer. She sent me a photo and a message asking if I could possibly make this set. It had no instruction to make the hat and boots but of course, I am pretty talented to look at photos and make the item. Don't ask me how I do it, but it is a strength of mine.

My husband had to take his big vehicle away for the weekend and I usually use it to load all our containers, tent, tables etc for markets. So everything got stuffed into my small Ford Focus. It almost fit and the laughter from my friends at the markets when I rolled up with my boot tied down like this. 😂😂 And.....did I care if they laughed?...nope, not at all. I laughed with them. I told them I was like Ellie May Clampett from the Beverly Hillbillies. lol

Oh my, I do say, Frank has life hard hey?

Well my lovely friends, the sound of all the rain is making me feel like I should have a nap, so that's what I will do. lol Happy weekend to you all and I send you hugs.

Ciao, Anita.
