Days go by

On Saturday we decided to head to the coast - Batemans Bay via Braidwood - It was a beautiful day and lovely scenery. We eventually hit the beach at around 1.30 - it was a delightful little bay and we found a sunny spot just out of the breeze - oh heaven - warmth - sun - lapping of the waves and our delicious picnic lunch - couldn't help taking a picture of our dessert - cherry, almond and chocolate tart and orange brulee ( From Silo in Kingston ) mmmmmmmm and then an afternoon snooze.

I finished the box for my paperwork and cards today. Its a little rough for my first try but I am very happy with the design - particularly my divider and the outer pocket for the cards I collect - I may even put more pockets on the outside !

This is my favourite cochet pattern at the moment- its called slanting diamonds. - very easy a one row pattern. I think i will make it into a cardigan

Let me know if you want more info Cathy x
