....and she is still overseas but enjoying her birthday with sister Hayley who has flown over to join Megan on a 2 week holiday in Turkey.....here they are all ready to visit the Blue Mosque.....in appropriate dress....
Meanwhile here at home not a lot of creativity has been happening......but did go to the local "Eurobodalla Fibre & Textile Artists Group" Exhibition - there were some very interesting & varied pieces of work.....here are just a few....
....a seahorse made of thousands of little folded paper boxes!
and.... what to do with those old garden tools and a bit of fibre!!
Last weekend I took myself to Milton to take part in a couple of events at Storyfest....the inaugural 3 day "festival for the writer, the reader, the dreamer & story teller" ....
Although only 45 mins from home I stayed the weekend in a lovely Airbnb as I had booked into events over 2 days...... on the Friday night I attended an event called "Criminal Minds" ... a panel of 3 crime writers spoke about how they got into writing, where they got their ideas from. etc...... I found it very interesting.... I had not read any of the authors'works but managed to finish these 2 by one of the authors speaking before attending the event.....
On the Saturday I went to listen to 2 authors who incorporate actual historical facts into their novels....again very interesting and this time I had read one of the author's works....set in Estonia during the WW2...having an Estonian background I had really enjoyed the book and listening to the author explain her research for it didn't disappoint!
The Ulladulla Bookshop had set up a book stall in the Milton CWA Hall....it was the equivalent to walking into a patchwork shop for me!! Purchases were made.... 6 books in total....but I tell myself I'm saving for my retirement!!
That's all I have been up to of late......my jumper I was knitting was finished but am currently unpicking the kneckline as I cast off so tight I can't get it over my head....will have a photo perhaps next time! Otherwise have been too busy reading to do a lot of stitching...
Happy Stitching
