~Full Bookcase.......and Grapes~

I had a comment from Kim in my last post to show my new bookcase full......

so here 'tis

full of my unread books that had been in piles and there are more

so it didn't take long to fill at all!!!

I got the idea to do this off my friend Asta who has just started her own blog

And a new book to celebrate

Rachael Treasure's The Cattleman's Daughter.

A few weeks ago I showed this grapevine that we had come up over Summer

The neighbour who lived next to us had kept it trimmed

these are the grapes now

They taste like an old fashioned variety complete with seeds in,

just like we had when we were growing up

And very tasty too.......I wouldn't be surprised if you could make grapes out of them as well!!!

~A Sunday Beach Walk~

Following a shocking migraine headache on Friday......my first ever......

It felt like lightning behind my eyes

On Saturday it felt like there were egg shells in them floating around

 Sunday a little better so I thought I would take a little beach walk as it was the most perfect day 

Not a lot of stitching happening but I did manage a heart block for a secret quilt being made

and check this out

Mr Armchair has made a little bookcase for me

But I think my Paris print will have to move!!!

Monday today and now not feeling quite right so an easy day and hopefully will be heaps better tomorrow.......

Wishing everyone a great week ahead

Love Dzintra xoxo

~Melodrama at Mogo......Reprise~

Today I'm off to do the Melodrama Joe Flanagan's Wake which we did last year!

Good old-fashioned entertainment with sing-alongs, handsome bushrangers and I even get to do a duet at the end!!!

To read more on the melodrama go over here

Happy Weekend everyone

Love Dzintra xo

~OPAM 2014~

And woo-hoo I've joined OPAM again this year

Thank you Sweet Peg and Kris for hosting this as I find that I am having a lot more finishes!!!

Just a little one this month

A small kit I bought at the Sydney Show 

Kit is by Studio Mio and is called a G & S Case.......for  Glasses & Sunglasses

and here it is all finished complete with buttons from the kit

and I added the little I made it tag!!!

I thought I would throw this little pic in

Whenever I go up to Canberra for a shopping day with JoJo we always call in to Lincraft and get some threads.  While I look for specific threads I would say to her pick some colours.

This pic is from 2 shopping trips......always nice and colourful from My Girl!!!
