A road less travelled....

I've been away for a few days....

Enjoying the tranquility of a beautiful B&B...


Yes, this IS a bathroom....


This is the view out the front window....



Although the weather was cool, 

there were signs of Spring...


We've had lots of Spring rain...


so the Trentham Falls were flowing!

We travelled up to Mt Macedon...


with its Memorial Cross soaring skywards.

My father was station master here, 


back in the 1940's.

There was much needed refreshment...


and some retail therapy too!

A new knitting pattern and a hand knitted scarf

Now I am itching to getting back to some stitching..


Happy days!

Zakka Pouch...

I know I showed you this the other day, 

but I wanted to tell you a little more about it!


My pouch ended up a little larger 

than the original pattern.  

It called for half square rectangles but I didn't have 

the facilities to print the pattern....


So I started with 2" ones and adjusted the pattern 

from there...


I've had this leftover piece of Ikea fabric for years 

and it became the perfect lining!

 I interfaced the lining to make the pouch a little 

more sturdy.

I can see more of these in my future!

Linking up with Debbie....

Happy days!
