I’ve recently struggled with all sorts of blocks: writer’s block, podcaster’s block, embroiderer’s block….If they didn’t exist before, they do now.  At least in my own little head.  I haven’t had access to the computer for a while either.  My husband was home on holidays and took time out to “fix” it. 

Here is the up and down buttonhole stitch for TAST.  I actually had trouble with this one.  i couldn’t quite get the rhythm of it and kept on going up when I should be going down etc.  (Is that a life metaphor?)  So it’s a relatively simple sample.  But I did learn something new, and that’s always good.

Whilst we had some time together my husband and I went on some day trips.  I thought I’d just include a couple of photos from the places on the coast that we visited.  Naturally, the photos don’t do it justice.

 We have lots of ships lining the coast from newcastle to Sydney at the moment.

And this is the beach at The Entrance

Be kind.  Be gentle for this is my first post.  I am a beginner and do not know how to do this properly yet.  I don’t even  know why I am doing this.  But here I am.  Here you are.  But we may not be here together.  When I was little I always remembered how to spell that word, “together”, by breaking it into the smaller words ” to get her”.  

They are coming to get her.

I’m not sure what I intend for this blog.  I might try to thread together some pieces of arty crafty work and see if they make any sense.  At this stage I pass the time with some knitting, embroidery, cross-stitch, drawing and writing.  I also should be continuing to work on carving a walking stick. 

It’s coming to get her

So we’re away.  I’ll have to upload some pictures.  I’ll have to take some pictures, then upload them. 

Good wishes to all,
