The Holidays are Over

Just back from a wonderful break in beautiful Bright in Victoria's North East. It really is a beautiful part of the world - nestled in a valley, the little town of Bright has so much to do.

We went walking and riding, and of course lots of eating at the lovely places they have there and of course the drinking of the regions most magnificent wineries.

The only disappointing thing about Bright is that it has no 'patchwork' shop at all - so I have suffered severe withdrawals, added to that is we couldn't get access to the internet - but maybe it really was a good thing after all to have a total break.

The kids had a great time, as there is so much for all ages. We found a fantastic Toy Shop called 'Bang'. They stock the most wonderful games, toys and puzzles that you don't find many other places.

I must mention another fabulous shop there, Country Heart and Home, which is owned and run by Amanda and her husband Brett. She searches high and low for all the wonderful things in her shop - mainly xmas ornaments etc. which she sells all year. It's not everybody's cup of tea but Amanda and Brett are so friendly that I am sure you will find something you like there, as there is so much packed in there. I bought some great teacher presents and gorgeous smelling candles. Actually, now that I come to think of it, she sells some patchwork fabric!!!! And if you are lucky, you might catch some of Miss Marzie's goodies. If you can't get there, she has an online shop you can visit at any time.
















I always enjoy coming home to see my garden especially in Spring.

I picked my first ever Lilacs off my tree today- they are just so beautiful and I love having them in my house.

So not much crafting has been going on, so I am ready for action. Be prepared for the onslaught!
