morning walk

To prove I do go for the occasional morning walk, here is a photo of the view. This is Tabletop mountain, as seen from Picnic Point. One day, I should go have a Picnic on Tabletop... Normally I just settle for the view - this spot is only 15 minutes walk from my house - and sometimes I don't even stop and look at the view - but it is a good spot to pause to stretch the old hamstrings. This morning when I got there, there was a young couple wrapped up together in a blanket, with pillows and coffee - obviously they had gotten up extra early to watch the sunrise together. Awwww...

first day of autumn

I love cool weather - and I feel winter is on its way. Yesterday I had the first porridge of 2008. Still warm enough to eat outside though. And I got into the craft room and played around with velvets and wools and other warm fuzzy fabrics. I'm building a stockpile of scarves on the off-chance that I'll get organised enough to do a stall at the local craft markets before winter actually arrives.

We had a hail storm on Saturday night - it was very loud and fairly short but it left a mountain of hail. This pic was taken at 7am the next morning - Calico had fun exploring but got very cold little paws!

In other news, I'm putting some brooches and coasters on a stall at the IWC at USQ on Friday. I won't be there though - one more wedding in Armidale. Then wedding season will be officially over - 3 weddings in 4 weeks is a bit taxing really.

No more progress on the baby quilt - I've been getting ready for the market - covering boxes with fabric, labelling etc. Also preparing a submission for Reverse Garbage's Christmas market. Working on an idea for manly cuffs.
