It's all about flowers here in Toowoomba this week. Who doesn't love a carnival? Despite the lack of water the flowers still manage to bloom. It really feels like spring! Since starting the Queen's Park Markets in April, Sunday was the first one we weren't sitting there shivering with blankets up to our necks. This was the view from behind our stall: giant chillies! The call of the chilli chocolate eventually got the better of me and I brought some home. Tastes just like chocolate, with a chilli aftertaste. I also quite like chilli strawberry jam.

After a long day at the markets - a lovely, sunny, long day - we're snuggling in front of the fire, watching the tele. Kitty says don't you dare change the channel.

Sorry, I couldn't resist another mosaic... If you like pink, and you're in Brisbane on Sunday with the afternoon free, you should go to Lyssy May's Think Pink party. I'm a bit late posting about it - you have to RSVP by tomorrow... It's being held to raise money for breast cancer so there will be lots of raffles and (pink) prizes - so put on something pink and head along. You can see some of the prizes - including one of my scarves here.

And if you're in Toowoomba on Sunday with no plans, I'll be at the Queen's Park Markets.

Hmmm, I answered green for my favourite colour but looking at this it might still be brown - I thought it was my ex-favourite colour.

This is a Flickr meme I saw here and here

And if you want to play yourself, the questions to answer, via flickr:
1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favorite food?
3. What high school did you go to?
4. What is your favorite colour?
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
6. Favorite drink?
7. Dream vacation?
8. Favorite dessert?
9. What do you want to be when you grow up?
10. What do you love most in life?
11. One word to describe you.
12. Your nickname/flickr name.
And put it all together using fd's Flickr Toys.

I didn't mean to take such an extended blog break - but I needed it! I finally got some craft mojo back on the weekend and whipped up this generously sized tote bag. A friend at work put in her order about a month ago (see, it's not just you faithful readers who've been waiting on the edge of your seats!) - and took it in to work today, all excited - and she had the day off.

In other news, I got labels. They're giving me all sorts of professional airs. And, I made myself a skirt. The fabric is called 'Chevy' which pleases me immensely. I'm wearing a car. Heh.

Can you tell I like brown?
