A Spiced Up Rug

I saw a simalar rug in a haberdashery store called Spotlight (for those not familiar with the shop) it was larger & very expensive, so I got on my hands & knees & studied how they did it & a lightbulb appeared above my head & I realised I could probably do my own take on one & as it happens I think mine is better not so gaudy as the store one. I did it on a smaller scale & used silk or nylon scarfs as they were easier to use & lovely & soft on the feet.

Long weekend in Jervis Bay

Last weekend we had the good fortune of spending a few days in a house 2 minutes from the beach at a gorgeous spot called Jervis Bay, its about 3 hours south of Sydney, we went with my bestie Jo & her husband Tim & kids, the house belongs to their next door neighbour who is away in Europe for 6 weeks & left them the keys..

It was sooo lovely, we left friday morning after I went to the Dr to get anti biotics for my swollen face because a spider or something horrid had bitten me on the face & caused my eye to swell up, I looked like Quasimodo, so that put a bit of a dampner on the weekend a bit but once the drugs kicked in it was a lot better. We moved into the shack at the back which was divine & very beachy & Jo etc were in the house, we too were in the house most of the time & slept in the shack which was very comfortable,thanks very much..The weather wasnt the best but luckily we only had one downpour & that was at night, we had lovely long walks on the beach, collecting shells & other interesting things Jo & I drove to Berry for a spot of shopping on Saturday morning, what a fab place with lots of curiousity shops, we were in our element, lots of Oohing & arghing, got a couple of bits & bobs..

We had lovely food cooked by Tim & lots of wine & a few cheeky Gin & Tonics with fresh lemon picked from the tree outside, delicious few days had by all, cant wait for the next one!!
