Flea Market Finds

Look at the precious gems I picked up from Trash n Treasure last sunday, We saw that the markets were still open even though it was Easter & we went for a nose, there wasn't many stores, but this week it was quality not quantity!! & I only spent $10.20, well happy, A gorgeous Moroccan looking bowl in muted yellows, greens & browns, the yellow book has a hand crafted elephant on the front with rustic pencil & hand made paper pages inside. I gave the "how to crochet" dvd to my lovelie friend Jo, who is dying to learn...lets hope she can make me a granny square blanket in no time at all!! & a gorgeous beachy basket to carry it all home in, fab x

My goodies!



Have made a tote bag with the 20c tea towel, quite pleased with the result x

Latest creations

These are my latest achievements from my sewing class, the pouch I made for my friend Ana to keep her travel documents in, I also made the button at pottery " Gee I'm talented!!" I'm doing another one for her too but smaller. The tote bag is a present for my mum's birthday, shopping, libary bag, I love going, shame its only every fortnight, it seems a long time between classes.

Special time with the cuzzies !!


We had Emo's brother, Charlie, Robyn, & their 3 children, Noa, Wiki & Kaia come over from NZ to stay for a few days before heading to Queensland, it was so good to see them & all the kids had a ball, it went far too quickly, they went into the city for the day,(I was working!!) & did all the touristy stuff, like ferry past the opera house & Harbour bridge to having photos with Aboriginies...

Kenya & I mosaic'ed a paver to act as a stepping stone for my hut, this picture was just as I had finished it, I have put it by the hut now but it is not finished off properly, when I have the look I want, I will put up a new pic...all the pieces on it are things that have been broken by "us" in the house.
