I should be sleeping

It's 4.23am. I should be sleeping but thanks to my neighbour who likes to play annoyingly loud music at ungodly hours, I am now awake. Not happy. I was looking forward to having a good long sleep in today. Anyway, enough of that.

Just thought I'd share my crafty plans for today:
I plan to continue sorting the array of buttons I have gathered according to colour in these spice jars I picked up from Ikea.

And then I plan to keep on knitting my Travelling Woman shawl. Hopefully finishing it this weekend too!

I hope everyone has a craftly good weekend.
:)

Anywhere but here...

I sit here struggling to finish an assignment for uni, wishing I was somewhere like here:

Isn't it just beautiful!

Knitting my way to happiness

I wonder if this is possible??? I haven't been in much of a sewing mood lately, so I have been knitting the Traveling Woman shawl. I'm fairly pleased with the progress and there have only been a few minor mistakes - but they will add character! It is my first time knitting a shawl and I am quite enjoying and looking forward to wearing it this winter!


The yarn is Morris Empire 4ply in Bluestone. The picture doesn't do they colour any justice - it is much nicer. A nice deep smoky blue.

Happy Tuesday - hope you have a great day

Good things...

Today has mostly been filled with good things.

Firstly, I found out that John Mayer is coming to Sydney in May - I'm very excited about that!

Secondly, I bought a pot and planted a bay leaf tree that I got late last year as a gift - it's the first time I've tried gardening so I'm a bit proud of myself :)

Here it is before a massive storm hit. I hope it rained just as hard over the dam as well. We need the water.

And third, I'll soon be able to partially reclaim my sewing room. I'll have to share the room with mum, which means so big table and a lot less storage, but I will be able to have my machines set up permanently :)

I hope everyone has a great weekend.
