Happy Monday...

Our backyard is full of flowers and today is a new day.

Here are a few things that I have enjoyed 

while I have been catching up on my blog reading. 

I hope you enjoy them too...

Happy Monday (camera inspired)

My mind is on photography. Inspired to take photos after the road trip on Saturday.

Hoping that the weather will improve this week so that I can take the camera with me on adventures. What are you planning this week?

Here are a few camera inspired links to get me in the mood. Happy Monday! Ames xo

Winter crochet tutorials

Two and a bit months have passed since I moved to Tasmania. Chilly is an understatement and I am surprised to have noticed an uncomfortable variation from the weather of Melbourne where I have spent the last eight years.

I am usually making some sort of craft year round but I think it is time to ramp up the knitting and crochet. Another lap blanket for the lounge in addition to this one which I made a little while back would be nice.

There are so many talented craftisans out there and I thought I would share some of the tutorials I have enjoyed reading, which would keep me warm head to toe.

I am thinking about reclaimed spaces this week. 

I love the idea of converted buildings floating in a cloud of history.  

Have a great week everyone, I hope something special comes your way.

As I mentioned yesterday, I am in the midst of making crochet coat hangers. I have also been working on a crochet shrug and two hats. So I thought I would have a look around for some other patterns for inspiration.  Here are some of the great posts I have come across on some fantastic blogs by very creative people.
