This is how my mornings start! A not very expensive coffee machine with not very expensive coffee pods .... a yummy cup of coffee then I move out to the veranda and catch up on my social media whilst listening and watching the birds at the feeding table .....
It's a ritual ......
How do you start your day?
Our local library has one a month crafty related activities... I can't always go but this month I went to the book folding.... I did a heart before so this time they gave me one that is a bit more challenging.....
I had to bring it home to finish it off...
The 'patterns' for book folding, and instructions are sold through a very clever lady HERE. There also is several already made that you can buy or order specially.
I think it's so clever.
Last Sunday was revolting hot here. I don't manage well in revolting hot. We sat in our lounge room with the aircon and TV on ALL DAY.... we never to that. We got into a series and that kept us nicely entertained ... and I got through a fair bit of Dutch Treat so I now have another 4 finished blocks....
That daisy one was really challenging... and close up the soft curves are actually rough chips!!

I have moved on to doing a bit more Boro stitching to take a short break from Dutch Treat .... I am enjoying the informal process of this and it's teaching me that not every stitch needs to be exact!
This is a wee little purse I made. We had Craft Alive here in Toowoomba and I booked into this little $10 workshop where we got the kit and tuition to make this....
It was a bit fiddly I admit.... but its rather cute?
Righto, Gotto Go.... I think I have some serious stuff to do ......
