my over the road neighbours, the 'bin friends' and my computer guru brought over this beautiful bloom a couple of days ago, it is a camellia called volcano, very apt in this part of the world at the moment, who would think that a volcano in chile could close down the airports with volcano ash clouds being the problem
i also loved this winter sky as sunset was getting ready to plunge us into darkness again at about 5.30pm, that little puff of pink cloud !
and then yesterday whilst out shopping i went to the newsagent and to my delight the may issue of this favourite magazine was out, i would like to live in this magazine, it never disappoints me
and as i lost myself in its pages last night, i just love the colours, the ideas, the gardens etc., i wanted to buy an old train carriage and renovate it just like the one in the article
my paternal grandfather was a steam train engine driver in tasmania and i went on a dream about ......... wouldn't be fun !
and this heading of an article, that's what life is really all about for all of us 'all kinds of everything'
as you can see, i just loved so much about this edition, and then there was another magazine that took my eye
some of those who know me, will know about me and numbers ! well here we are again ! the tenth anniversary edition of 'quilters companion magazine' and here i was on the cover again, in 2008 i was on the cover, well the quilt that was a joint project when 'amitie' and 'broderie' were operating together, was on the cover !
here it is, i guess the quilt is still at 'amitie' somewhere ??? it is all about the '10' and the '8'
and then in the mail today arrived from the usa, this cashmere knitwear, yes i shopped on line, 3 garments plus postage for less than $100.00 and delivered to my door. they are gorgeous cashmere, i love the colours and the softness made me feel that i wanted to bury my head in them !
i will dream on as i turn the pages of the magazine, sometimes aren't we easy pleased !
well i am !
