This is my latest project- not in the studio at all- but a brand new vegetable garden!!. The little seedlings managed to survive the extreme heat of the weekend and now just need to stand up to any roaming kangaroos, cows, birds and cabbage moths!!
Meet my new neighbours!!
These beautiful Rosellas have been feasting on the hawthorn berries surrounding my verandah. My cockatiels feel they have to answer the wild rosella's calls and have screeched for all of the last 2 days! I'm hoping the bird chorus will end before the berries do!!!

This is the spectacular view from the end of my new street!! 
Look at these fantastic hand knitted pieces by Toshiko Horiuchi Macadam!!!. It is in the "sculpture forest" at the Hokone Open-Air Museum in Japan. This huge brightly coloured net hangs in the middle of a wooden pavillion. Children can climb on top of the netting and swing on the knitted balls that hang underneath the structure. Promoted as, 'a fun way for kids to develop their sense of balance and appreciation of colours'- but also a hugely inspirational piece of knitting!!!!
As a crochet beginner, my hooking skills are very slow but I have been enjoying making these daisy chains- and after 320 daisies I can even manage it now without constantly looking at the pattern!! The pattern is from Lia Govers and is available at Ravelry
