Out and about...

Well after the excitement of the Knit and Natter last Saturday it was good to go out to Stitchers Inc on Sunday with no dramas, but instead,  lots of stitching time, laughs and conversation with fellow bloggers.
Lots of Show and Tell...Helen shows us this magnificent creation...



We got Helen to stand up so that we could take some photos...




Helen is a very witty lady and she soon had everyone laughing!!








Lynda and Noela show us their Christmas wallhangings from the April SAL...


Noela is now showing us the beautiful bag that she made...it's like the paparazzi with all those cameras clicking! lol

Here De is showing the group the bag she completed for the May SAL...it looked gorgeous!

And here is Susan with her version of the bag...sorry the photo is  a bit blurry! :-(


Here Sandy is showing us her stitching project...see what I mean about lots of laughing???

 Debbie, Noela, Susan, Sandy, Lynda, Maree, Marilyn and just a glimpse of Marie

The very talented Tatyana! 


Maree organised this regular venue for us; it is in the Community Room at Garden City, Mt Gravatt. The amazing Maree also brings tea/coffee and sweet treats as well as a lucky door prize. There were fifteen of us there yesterday. Maree has more show and tell photos in a presentation on her blog, here.

It was a great day!

Then tonight I went out for the twice monthly Sit and Stitch at that favourite yarn shop of mine, Yarn Over. Here are a few photos of what the clever ladies there have been working on...
Jenny's gorgeous crocheted hat and she is wearing one of her crocheted scarves...


And sitting opposite me tonight was another Jenny and this Jenny was working on a 'Spiderman blanket' for her son...could you hold it up please Jenny?

Look at that! her son will be so thrilled as it is a surprise for him!
