Birthday Today & Exhausted!!!!

Well today I turn 44yo - can't believe that I am actually that old. I am actually feeling ancient as I was awake for 20 straight yesterday & then only got 4 hrs sleep last night before having to get back up for work today. 

Why such a long day? Well had an early start at work & then this happened .....

Yes I went to the One Direction concert with my daughter last night. Absolutely great show but took forever to get home afterwards.

Here's a photo of us before the show started.

Isn't my daughter beautiful?

Niall Horan is our favourite out of all the boys - love his Irish accent & he seems so sweet.

We got tickets a few days before the show and we're thrilled to find how close we were to the stage - was such a fun night.

I think I'm ready for an early bed time - I don't even have the energy to knit!!!!

My Knitting Knook

I am very lucky that I have a whole room for my crafty pursuits. No one goes in there but me - which is great as it means I can always find my stuff and I can keep it as messy or as tidy as I like (at the moment it really looks a bit messy as have really just dumped my last few rather large yarn purchases and half completed projects in baskets everywhere.

While I have this wonderful space to myself I find that I spend most of my time knitting or crocheting in the family room - I even have a little side table just for me to keep some things I need at the ready.

Here is a couple of photos I took after I tidied it up today.

I love seeing these colours against my favourite teal & Aqua coloured table and bowl - it makes me so happy to walk past and see them sitting there.

That's about it for this quick little check in.

Serious Yarn Addiction

Well I remember making a decision to avoid buying any new yarn this year as I already have an extensive stash, but that didn't even last a whole month as these goodies followed me home the other week.

How yummy does all this yarn look? Have no real plans for any of it at the moment but it looks soooo good.  Some of the yarn I bought online at Love Knitting and some I bought on an outing with my friend Sue to Kaalund Yarns and Yarn Glorious Yarn. The crochet hooks I bought on eBay.

Yarn Glorious Yarn is such a pretty little shop in Brisbane and stocks some of the prettiest yarns.  the owner Sue and her lovely employee Kristen are two of the  loveliest people you will ever meet. always happy & smiling and very helpful.

What have I been working on? Well I finished the quicksilver shawl I posted about previously and have made in roads with my hue shift afghan.  Will need to take some photos to post here.

Got to go as am falling asleep as I type & am making more typos than usual. Will try & post the photos this week.
