BANYA BIAMI.................

Have just been away to a camp at Banya Biami in the Brisbane Ranges (Vic) where we sleep in concrete water tanks, eat delicous food and just do our thing.....My thing was dyeing wool wool with the help of Carmel, Each skein was measured out in twenty foot lenghts then divided into four and then dyed four different colour. It was a really rewarding 2 1/2 days I have never enjoyed a work shop so much. Now all I have to do is work out what to do with it all.
I also managed to finish a pair of socks that I had started before I broke my arm so I came home feeling I had really acheived. Photos to follow...

Parcel in the post.....

I have posted my parcel of to Ashley in Georgia and I do hope she likes all the things I purchased for her. It was great fun shopping for some one else.
Today I am busy baking as this week end is the Geelong Handweavers and Spinners group annual get away.... We go off to Banya Biami which is up in the bush and we talk,laugh and workshop....should be a good week end.and then we sleep in old water tanks which are really very warm and comfortable. I need to leave some home baking for my hubby and have some to take with me for our suppers....It is lovely to have some one else to do the cooking and the cleaning up even if it is only for a week end.
We are also waiting to hear from our Son who has gone of to Gallipoli for the Anzac day celebrations and he will hopefully meet up with his daughter whilst over there....all very exciting. I shall catch up on my return.

How time flies............

Time does seem to be passing me by, the wrist is still no better and I am limited in what I can do...I saw the specialist last week and he wants to see it again in 8 weeks time when he will take another x-ray and see where we go from there.....In the mean time the socks started in January are still on the needles allthought I do hope to get them of this week end.
He did say to knit as it is good therapy but I can only manage about 20 minutes a day. Anway I shall continue to plod along.
I am taking part in a swap on Ravelry so that is exciting shopping for treats to send to my swappee in Georgia and I should get them posted on Monday.
Well I must away now I do hope to post a little more often in the future.
