A Beautiful Blog

I thought I would start sharing some beautiful blogs that I find in my little travels, todays is A Field Journal. I love everything in this blog, even down to the header and layout! The most beautiful part are the gorgeous drawings Livy does to illustrate what she's up to, I just wish I was half this clever!

Fresh & Green

I'm having a little love affair with green at the moment. I'm hanging out until Spring when I want to decroate my lounge room in greens. Here's some pictures I found that I think are just lovely rooms. I particularly love the mirror collage on the wall in this picture, I'm hoping to find some old vintage mirrors on eBay to try something like this myself.

New Kindred Wallpapers

Well, hello!! It's ben a while since I've blogged, I'm sorry but I have had no internet. Yes, I've been struggling without it.

Anyway, I noticed that the Kindred site has some beautiful new summer wallpapers for your computer. It's a little weird seeing summery pictures when winter has certainly set in down here in old Sydney town. But, it's lovely to see the beautiful colours on a cold dreary day. I thought I'd share some.

Happy Autumn Knitting

Usually Autumn is so gorgeous in Sydney but today is freezing and rainy, and perfect knitting weather. I made this scarf recently and think I will remake it for a friend. This scarf was made out of a gorgeous wool and silk blend, it feels so lovely.

Cable knit scarf 

It really is easy to do cables and I think they're something that looks really effective. If you want to have a go yourself, the pattern is right here. Check out my sidebar for another gorgeous chunky scarf pattern.

Of course, if you're looking for a cute bag to keep your knitting in, check out my shop!

Catherine Martin Wallpaper

This woman is one of the most amazing and creative people I've ever seen. Her costumes for movies such as Moulin Rouge and Australia are just exquisite! So, how exciting that Catherine Martin now has her own range of wallpaper!
