On the home front...

Recently I heard an older man say that the reason he is so busy is because it now takes him four hours to do what he use to do in two!!

I guess that's my excuse too :)

But her I am, finally sitting down for a catch up...

The annual Tasmanian Craft Fair was on recently.  I met up with Marnie and Tom and we did the rounds of the various venues...

she actually made a little video of us at the lunch venue, but I can't get it to load here, so you will have to be satisfied with a photo

I bought a couple of things (not the seashells) ...

some lovely wool/alpaca yarn from Great Ocean Road Woollen Mill and a scented soy candle from Bee Native 

I've done a bit of online Christmas gift shopping from Bee Native, and also ordered a couple of packs of Hayley's cute Christmas cards from her Averilda Haze Etsy store...

Picked up some pretty buttons to finally finish Hazel's yellow cardigan...

I'm on to the sewing up and front bands, the (not) fun part

Knitting a scarf for charity...

it's actually finished now

Dipping into this interesting book (Writing Wild) from the library...

Baking date and sultana scones...

And sprouting seeds...

Still getting out for my walks most days despite quite a bit of rain...

And I'm so excited that the first issue of my subscription to Taproot Magazine arrived a couple of days ago...

Here's a peek inside...

Lots of crafts, recipes, and lovely words and illustrations/photos

Read this quote recently...

"The trail is the thing, not the end of the trail.  Travel too fast and you miss all you are travelling for." - Louis L'Amour

And remember this quote (attributed to various sources) ...

"Every ending is a new beginning..."
