Goodbye May ....


This month for WOOFA I got this little quilt finished.... 


Thanks Cheryll for the encouragement to get some work done on those unfinished projects....  I still have lots hanging over from previous years to do.... but I keep finding new things instead!!


I am keeping on going with Civil War Bride and this is Block 8 done....


My crochet blanket is slowly growing.... I do need to concentrate on this wave and I seem to get mixed up quite a bit so I only do it when I am able to sit quiet on my own and count....


Another project I am needing to concentrate on is this Blackwork....  a lovely group (I join online) from Brisbane find some fun projects for us to do together.  I have never done Blackwork so it's good to have this challenge.


As you can see I haven't got very far....

This weekend we had a Languages and Cultural festival in the city..... it was a beautiful Autumn day so we went along...

The Giant Kookaburra was there laughing and singing..... very cleverly done


there were various forms of entertainment... martial arts....


advertising for Llama walks....


These are an Afghan sweet called Sheer Pira.... very nice with chopped fruit and nuts in it...


There was lots of dancing and singing from groups and we sat nearby a stage to watch and listen...


A Greek lady was selling home made Baklava and Turkish Delight....  soooo goood....


Quite a few food stalls which were popular and had very long queues ....

Young Xavier helps his Dad and Mom at a coffee van, it was near one stage so a lovely place to sit and listen whilst get treated to a regular supply of coffee.... 


A relaxing day out.... I was a little bit disappointed as I thought there would be a lot more from the different cultures we have in this area... but those that did participate did a great job....

Righto, Gotto Go... I think I will try and get another row of that crochet done whilst I have a cup of tea....

Hope you all have a great week....

Looks like you had a lovely weekend and the food was the most important part?

It’s good to have another little finish. The day out sounds like fun and good weather makes all the difference.

Sweet finish and the Civil War quilt will be beautiful when blocks are done and put together.
I’m waiting to see what you do with your Blackwork ?
Great day out and how good to have a good barista serving you coffees.....

It would be fun to see the Giant Kookaburra! I would have been lining up for those sweets.

Congratulations on your WOOFA finish and on your progress on other projects.

Your CWB block is gorgeous. Was it a kit or are you choosing the fabrics....either way the fabrics are just lovely. What a great way to spend a lovely autumn day in the outdoors.
