on the road again.


Who knew that finding a wireless hotspot would prove to be such a challenge in Western Australia?  But that’s where I am and let me tell you that it is beautiful countryside. I feel fortunate to have a husband who loves travel and adventure as much as I do.  When he had a small gap between projects, he said “pack your bags.”  That brings us to more beautiful blue coastline and distinctive landscape on this great big island.

The journey hasn’t been without craft, of course.  I’ve been working on my long running log cabin crochet project. Is it ever going to end? I bought yarn on nearly every trip to Japan. Finally I had to put a moratorium on purchasing it because I was buying it much faster than I could use it. 



So I found another purpose for some of it. After I made one at Brown Owls last week, Craig asked me to teach him how to make friendship bracelets. I thought he could use yarn to practice. Apparently, he’s a clever boy.



I also finished up the embroidery on my contribution for the Sew Out Loud quilt along. I can’t wait to show you.  I’m still about nine days from home, so the quiltalong tutorial will automatically pop up for you soon. Until then, I’ll be taking photos of blue sky, climbing very tall trees and drinking Margaret River wine. I'll be eager to show you when I get back. A lucky girl in a lucky country.

  2. The friendship bracelet looks like it is coming along well. Log cabin crochet - what an excellent idea. Those blue, blue skies, beautiful. I want to get myself to Perth one of these days.
