WinterGarden is Blooming in Fed Square …
“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.” Albert Camus 1913-1960 Today we are excited to be installing our gorgeous…

OK … I am back!!!
Hot on the heels of the fantastic success of our Poppies in both Australia and Europe (and it’s still ongoing here I must admit). I have a little (a very little) spare time on my hands to declutter. And …. horror upon horror, I have decided to cull my yarn stash. This was not a…

Inspired of Glen Iris Here …
It is impossible not to be inspired (and a little overwhelmed) by the plethora of extreme crafty talent around the world. I could waste hours trawling pinterest, following facebook leads and jumping from site to site looking at really stunning works of art (and I sometimes do). For those of us who get excited and…

Spreading the love around …..
Technically this little project could not be called yarn bombing : but craft bombing. The Open Drawer crafters, together with Pubknitters and a few others to boot have combined their skills and love of craft to produce our little heart tree project – I am thrilled with the outcome – a gorgeous concoction of knitted,…

Flower Garland Yarn Bombing
Almost but not quite complete, our little Pubknitters knitting group have had a wonderful couple of weeks creating flowers and leaves for our yarn bombing adventure. We spent the afternoon today sewing it all together … and now the piece is complete. Once we have made a decision on a suitable location, we will install. …

Snugglepot and Cuddlepie
I am published. Or I should say “we” are published. My sister in law Margaret and I submitted a freeform crochet/knit piece to the International Freeform Crochet Guild as part of 2011 Freeform Challenge : Mythologies, Stories and Fairytales.

Dear Blog … I Feel You’ve Been Neglected
Sometimes, life just gets in the way of blogging and that’s how it’s felt for me over the last couple of weeks. I have not done nearly enough knitting because firstly, someone introduced me to WORDS WITH FRIENDS. If you are not familiar with WORDS WITH FRIENDS – it’s basically online scrabble. Oh dear!!!! And…
