New camera, boring pic's and some crochet

Hello there. Got myself and new little camera as my old fujifilm was having problems with its zoom and just not performing very well. Also this one has a fantastic zoom and can take it anywhere with me when I don't want to lug the much bigger fujifilm slr.

See, a greet zoom. Its 16 mega pixels, 28mm wide 16x zoom with 3.0 lcd screen perfect.

And of course I have just had to take a few boring shots, just because I can. Close up of my beloved Rosemary ☺ 

Zoomed on a gum a few house blocks across.

 

And mega zoom on this light which is way over behind our block

 

That light is even further than the trees you can see here with me taking a shot near my blue star ☺

Also got a nice (cheap) tea pot so I can make some special herbal concoctions.

Now have Rosemary, Thyme, Sage and Lemon Thyme hanging in the kitchen to use when dry.

A bit of crochet has been going on but can't show you the end results of this as it is a xmas present for someone and they may see lol.

Started a very quick easy pattern from the wonderful laughingpurplegoldfish and the pattern is available for free on ravelrycalypso-the-kooky-owl and come say hi to me if you like, I am batwing57 over there ☺

You use 3 strands of 8ply and 6.5mm hook and makes up quickly

Isn't she cute with her button eyes

and a hand stitched nose but can use felt too.

She is currently residing with this lot but she looks a little unsure lol lol 

Would make a great gift for anyone and there are quite a few sizes in the instructions. This one is the little one.  

Oh yes another quick practice shot.

Hope your weekend is great and see you soon xoxo

Mum, a little seahorse and getting ready for xmas.

Oh how much she loves knowing I put her pic's on my blog lol. Love you mum and here she is enjoying lunch when I went to take her xmas shopping, for 88 this lady sure knows how to shop!! I was exhausted for days lol.

Took a couple of snaps when we hit the big city Melbourne, just for mum. She LOVES myers and this is just a small part of their perfume area ready for xmas.

There was 2 buildings of myer across the road from each other, but one has been pulled down to make way for an even bigger one.

An arcade she used to love to go through.

This is central melbourne, not very exciting but she loves this clock so enjoys seeing the pictures.

Now I decorate a little different to most for xmas but here is a small sample with those gorgeous stars that I got from a dear Ravelry friend, thankyou Julie, the dragon's are very happy lol.

Also one of the candy cane holder's she made me, gorgeous.

We have this tiny little tree which is battery run and has little lighting up section's. Also another tree but the bulb has keeled over so another on order and I have just decorated it, but pic did not turn out well so will take another.

Oh yes and here are my special doll's teddy's all ready for xmas with their little hats I made a few years ago and the little bat in the corner was given to me by the lovely laughingpurplegoldfish who always has such fun things on her blog and also  patterns available on ravelry.

Here is her latest, test pattern to be released in jan sometime. flotsam-the-fascinating-seahorse where I am currently attempting this, honing my skills or lack of lol.

How have you all been, think sometimes I am posting less, then other times rave on heaps lol.

Take care and my all be wonderful in your part of the world.

Quiet weekend ☺☺

How is the weather where you are?  Spring is here with only 2 nice days so far and the rain is back lol

But at least I finally got that mowing done, hate it when it gets too long......

                      I did also have a lovely road trip down to catch with a couple of crochet
                        and knit buddies who I got to know through http://www.ravelry.com/
                              Certainly worth the almost 4hr road trip, lovely people they are ☺

But of course I get to warm up while still working on this, need to get a move on so I actually have more to show on Tuesday!!

Also working on this, testing a pattern for the lovely Laughing purple another Ozzie who makes lots of interesting things.

Yep, the road is still not completed!! Awaiting final seal and 2 speed humps. Reckon those who like to short cut through our little street will get a lovely surprise lol.

Will leave you with this fun pick from a blog ba-gawks and she has lots of little hats for her chickens ☺☺ cute eh? and they seem quite happy about it.

Hope your weekend is going good. Daylight saving kicked in here today (clock forward 1hr) and the man on night shift so he currently sleeping.

take care xoxo
