Sydney Weather - April 2015

 This pretty much sums up the weather Sydney had been
experiencing during May this year. 
 5 umbrellas gave their lives to protect us from the elements. 

Can you believe how lucky this bird bath was, inches from destruction.
Well I was please, I have to say, I rather like my bird bath.

The clothes line didn't fare as well though.  It is August 2nd now and we still 
don't have a replacement.  Ah living in rented accommodation....

Well thankfully, Percy borrowed a chainsaw and cut the tree up to get it off the fence.
Quietly one afternoon, I spied our neighbour carrying away what we cut up.  So that
sorted the issue of - what do we do with this wood?

What do you do when the weather is to lousy to leave the house...
crochet a throw - of course.

It was a challenge to myself.  Many, many years, too many years really, Doris Vince taught me to crochet and I thought then I was too young, too cool, too whatever to spend time crocheting.
Well the time has come to strike up this lovely, calming, comforting craft.
This is my attempt at a corner to corner afghan/throw. 
Give it a try!   
You will be amazed how much fun and how quickly the throw takes shape.
youtube....too easy.
