  2. Red, Red, Red

    August 2, 2011 by sunrisesister

    I went stash-diving in the search of the perfect french poppy red. I never realised I had *that* many different shades of red! Rather than decide on one, I think I will use a little of each :)


  3. Bendigo 2011

    July 26, 2011 by sunrisesister

    Another year, another sheep show, and another amazing (long) weekend away with amazing people! And again, I managed to take hardly any photos, because my hands were full of a wriggling toddler/fibre/yarn/shopping/hugging friends. Oh well!

    L-R: Mill yarn, show yarn, FIBRE.

    Three Bags Full..

    The house we were staying at this year was *amazing* – we have found our new Bendi home! Huge, many many rooms, and even a seperate retreat. Perfect for lots of families and kids of all ages. Kangaroo spotting and sunsets/sunrises was the order of the day, and we all enjoyed chilling by the fire in the evenings.

    The best bit about going up a few days early, is the time we spent actually relaxing and enjoying Bendigo itself. Lake Weeroona is spectacular, and the weather was just fabulous to match.

    (But god, am I kicking myself for forgetting the pram/stroller until N drove up and joined us on the friday night! My arms were killing me!)

    We popped into the wonderful Bendigo Pottery, a destination which will be a regular for us!

    The show was exhausting as usual, but what a day! I got to see lots of familiar faces, and as usual got to put some faces to rav names and blogs. There was much stash snaffling, and I really enjoyed seeing lots of new vendors as well as the favourites.

    On to the stash!
