Happy Autumn Knitting

Usually Autumn is so gorgeous in Sydney but today is freezing and rainy, and perfect knitting weather. I made this scarf recently and think I will remake it for a friend. This scarf was made out of a gorgeous wool and silk blend, it feels so lovely.

 

It really is easy to do cables and I think they're something that looks really effective. If you want to have a go yourself, the pattern is right here. Check out my sidebar for another gorgeous chunky scarf pattern.

Of course, if you're looking for a cute bag to keep your knitting in, check out my shop!

Catherine Martin Wallpaper

This woman is one of the most amazing and creative people I've ever seen. Her costumes for movies such as Moulin Rouge and Australia are just exquisite! So, how exciting that Catherine Martin now has her own range of wallpaper!

You can also download some of her beautiful wallpaper designs as wallpaper for your computer!

Beautiful Stationery

When I was up in Leura last week, I made sure to stop in at my favourite stationery shop. I could spend hours looking at paper, pens, books, journals and all manner of beautiful things.

What I love about this shop is that it seems to have that old world quality to it, beautiful embossers (which can be customised, I'm very tempted to get my own!) and wax seals. It sounds so romantic to have lived back in the day where all letters were sealed with wax. Almost as good as having Mr Darcy turn up for tea.

The New Blog!

I thought it was high time I had a little change of the blog. I was getting a bit sick of the colours, so fiddled around and this is it for the time being, until I'm sick of it again.

Here's a little trip to memory lane at the before.

And of course, the after.

What do you think? It's a lot softer, but still lots of pink for me. Nothing much else has changed, but over on the right hand side, did you know there were some free patterns? Or some tutorials? Plus of course the blogroll, filled with some really gorgeous blogs.

In case you're wondering because you're a bit of a font nut like me, the new font is Pushkin.

My Trip To Leura

I'm back from the mountains. Oh gosh, I could move there!! I adore autumn at the best of times. When it's up in the beautiful Blue Mountains with the crisp air, warm sunshine and gorgeous colours - well, I'm just in heaven.

I thought I'd show you some of my favourite things I saw in some of the little shops up there. If only I had limitless cash I could have an incredibly good shopping spree! Instead, I had to be content with window shopping, and adding a few things to the list of 'things I must have in my home to make my life better' I have in my head.

I absolutely adore the pears. They are actually a bit more lime green, but it's hard to get the right colour when you're trying to secretly take a photo before you get caught! They're a bit pricey but I want to do some lime green colours in the house for spring/summer, so I think they might be worth it.
