Here are the photos of things I made at Penrith. Sorry Nancy, the butterfly is not a regular butterfly-but fun.

Sunday!

I had such a good time yesterday at The Papercraffair at Penrith. So much to see and do. I made a card with the help of Angela Sargeant and she gave me a great tip about standing up to place things on my card as it is easier to see if it is straight. Thanks Ange. That punch for punching out Christmas tree baubles is fantastic-wish I could afford it but unable to at present.
I also made a butterfly of sorts with Linda Baldock fascinating and I have purchased a few things to have a play with. Check out www.lindystampgang.com for the use of Magical Micas.
I also called in to the www.pipedreamink.com a Tasmanian crowd who had the most interesting embossing powder and stuff. I bought a starter kit and will give this a go. At the stand we made a lovely Christmas decoration I will take a photo and display all the things I made.
All I have to do now is remember how to do it all.LOL

Still Monday:)

What I would like to add is that whoever knitted this jumper in the first place was one lovely knitter an I felt sad having to undo it. It looked like it hadn't even been worn and I got it for $8.00. Shame.

Monday Avo:)

Well I would like to say that I have been very busy in the craft room but that would be fibbing! Now that my head has reduced in size, since the Springwood Exhibition, I have done very little creatively. My Encore group wish to unravel a pullover and re-knit it in a 1940's style -to show what people did during the second World War. So I bought a jumper at the Salvation Army store and unravelled it. I will post photos. My part is over it is up to Mary to do the re-knit. Good on Mary she knits beautifully.

Success!

I sold one of my paintings at Springwood -how good is that?

Spring???

What has happened to the weather? It is freezing-so much for spring-but then they reckon it will be 28 degrees on Wednesday and that is too hot too soon. Too hot for me at any time.
Well our Springwood Exhibition is over as of tomorrow. Can't work out why we wouldn't have kept it going until Monday as that is a public holiday. Never mind I have to go pick up my exhibits tomorrow.
Today I have taken the Gazette to the printer but they are flat chat and it won't be ready until tomorrow.
I will post some photos from the exhibition:

This lovely piece won the Joan Booth Award and was painted by my teacher Fay Green.

 The black and white pieces were painted by Phyllis Eastaway, a student of Fay's.

 Di Woolley I think.

 Colleen Hudson.

Beautiful pieces completely made and painted by Joan Lamb.

 Di Wooley again I love these.
