This week I'm grateful for change.
It's coming people.

My creative space: Unfinished!
Please tell me that I am not the only one with eleventy billion crafty projects on the go at once, none of which are recieving my full attention, all of which are strewn across the craft room floor????
This basket of traditional granny squares made using left over bits of yarn from various other projects.
The rainbow rug, using Lucy's granny stripe tutorial.
The rest of the colours for the rainbow rug.
And of course, the poor Mario blanket. Which has all but been forgotten about since I ran out of the blue and it's on back order with the Bendigo Woollen Mills and since I am joining as I am going I can't continue on with the other colours without ruining my pattern of joining!
So of course with all of that laying about the house I'd want to start something new!
After seeing this beautiful scarf I had to give it a go myself. The wool is a purchase I made on my Hobart weekend from The Stash Cupboard and my instagram pictures really don't do the colour any justice. It is a Cascade Yarn in a lovely steel blue colour.
What's on your hook at the moment?
Some beautiful 'completed' creative spaces are at Kidspot.

Skinny Love
I'm obsessed with this song at the moment.
But could someone please explain the lyrics to me...
"Skinny Love"
Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt, we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in this moment this order's tall
I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines
Come on skinny love what happened here
We suckled on the hope in lite brassieres
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split
And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And now all your love is wasted
And who the hell was I?
I'm breaking at the bridges
And at the end of all your lines
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?
Ooh, ooh
I did ask Google but he wasn't very helpful.

Right in this moment this order's tall

I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind

Weekend Escapes
Excuse me while I indulge in iMovie on the iPad!
I've just come back from a three day escape with my sister. No husbands, none of our own children. Lots of catching up with lovely friends. Lots of giggling, wandering and eating.

And I didn't really sin...
....much.
Now, if someone can tell me why the location thingy pops up when you do a title in iMovie, things would be just peachy.

Hobart
I'm escaping tomorrow for the weekend. Three whole days with nary a husband or a child (that belongs to me!!!) in sight!
I grew up in Tasmania, in Devonport and went to Hobart for uni. Met my husband there, moved to Melbourne, had some babies and forgot to ever go back for a visit! I think in the 13 or so years since we moved I've been back to Hobart maybe once! Our Tasmanian jaunts always focus going back to Devonport where both our families still live, so I'm quite looking forward to getting back to Tassie's chilly capital!
My sister is driving down for the weekend too and we plan on giggling our way through the next three days with eating, Salamanca marketing, catching up with friends and maybe getting a litte bit of ink!!!
(clearly not me, it's Christina Ricci, but I am totes being a copycat!!!)
See you on the other side!

I've fallen in love with the Next button!
How do you read your blogs? Me... I stack 'em and rack 'em using the Google Reader. It's unattractive and not perfect for commenting or pinning or anything really but straight reading and then scrolling onwards. I've become the worst kind of blog reader.... a non-commenting, uninvolved one!
But that's all about to change with my discovery of the NEXT button!!!!
How have I not known about this before????
1. Go to your reader settings in google reader.
2. Click on the tab called goodies.
3. Drag the NEXT bookmark to your bookmarks bar.
4. Revel in the magic of reading blogs on their beautiful bloggy pages!
Now I can click on that Next button and it takes me to your actual blog! I can comment straight away! I can pin crafty things straight away! I can watch video links straight away!
Did you know about this??? Or am I the only blonde one???
