Redwood Forest Visit

Hello friends :-)
I hope you're enjoying your long weekend if you're in Victoria, Australia :-) If not you're not in Victoria, then I hope Monday is being kind to you :-)
I recently took a trip to the mind blowingly beautiful Redwood Forest in Warburton, Victoria, Australia :-) Wow! If you haven't been there before and you're nearby, do yourself a favour and take a trip out there! So amazing and serene :-)
 The trees are very dense and not a lot of light gets through to the forest floor... but in this one tiny patch of sunlight a new plant had started to grow! You have to seize every opportunity while you can!! :-)
 And then in Warburton town I stumbled across this very sweet piece of crocheted yarn bombing :-)

Have you been anywhere amazing lately? Share in the comments! :-)

Sun Hat For A Little One

Hello friends!
I hope you had a good weekend! :-)
I recently made this little sun hat for a little friend who is turning 2! I also made him a Milo Vest that I have written about HERE :-)
When asked what his favourite thing was he replied: "Outside!"
So I think a sun hat is a good present for him as we're coming into summer in the Southern Hemisphere :-)
I used a 10-ply or Worsted weight cotton, so it's sturdy, as well as being nice and cool on a hot day :-)
I really am pleased with the way this little hat turned out, so I think I might make a few more for the little folks in my life :-)

What have you been making lately? Share in the comments! :-)

In the garden....

Hello friends!
As you probably already know from some earlier posts, like THIS one, I really love my garden :-) 
I recently made a trip to a local plant nursery to see what else was out there :-)
I found some really amazing plants that I hadn't seen before.

 I'm not entirely sure what they all are... but they're very pretty :-)


 I think this one pictured above is my favourite :-) I think it's some sort of Grevillea... but I'm not sure... do you know what it is? :-)
