Stitch: This adorable crochet pattern, the Sunshine Day Afghan, has been a long time favourite of mine. I'm inspired by (and if I am honest, also a little envious of) Alicia's creations and soft palettes. Not only can she stitch such beauty as this, she is also a more than capable knitter, quilter and embroiderer. (Her embroidered ornament patterns are another favourite.)
Read: Oh Penguin - much loved purveyor of the old orange spined classics that always, always come home with me from op-shops - I think you have done it again. Penguin Lantern has just released a collection of cookery classics by the likes of Maggie Beer, Matt Moran and Stephanie Alexander. Yum!
Covet: I am under the illusion that one can never have enough notebooks. Journal keeping, garden diary, blog ideas, knitting notes, to-do lists. Tucked into your bag, popped on a pile of books beside the bed, slipped in to a pocket. And a beautiful notebook is doubly a treasure. I have just discovered and fallen in love with this collection of French Papier Tigre notebooks. I think I might need some...
Blog: Another creative talent who often gives me pangs of creative and lifestyle jealousy, while simultaneously entertaining and inspiring me, is the lovely Greer at typically red. Greer cooks and knits with a joy you can sense through her photography and words. She writes smoothly and honestly about her life in Southern Highlands as a working Mother to three adorable girls. And if you visit before the end of next week you could enter A Very Woolly Giveaway too. (I know I couldn't resist buying Emerson a bumpy bonnet for her upcoming first birthday.)

Hi! I found you when I was looking for a tutorial for a crochet hook case. Your blog is beautiful. I love this idea. I may do a post like this myself sometime on my blog. Thanks for the idea. I love Alicia's designs too, and that blanket is my favorite of her crocheted stuff. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely things Christina :-)
ReplyDeleteI love this series you have started. I am going to join in. Are you planning on doing a link up?
ReplyDeleteAlicia's blog is a favourite of mine too. Her quilts are always amazing and her knitting is awesome. I was so excited when little Amelia arrived.
Greer is awesome as well! Those bonnets of hers are gorgeous.
Hoping to be able to see you soon xxxx
Thanks! Yes, if enough people join in I will add a linky for sure. In the meantime feel free to leave a link in the comments. :)
DeleteI really love this series...such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteAnd Greer's blog is wonderful...I find her so refreshing and inspiring!
Alicia's blog is one of my favourites, she is so very talented and I love her little one Amelia so very cute. Greer is such a talented lady and if my two were still little I would be buying one of those bonnets for sure. I am the same as you, I do love a good notebook and seemed to have acquired a few lately:) xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the introduction to Greer's blog! I'm already obsessed with it!
ReplyDeleteI also love Alicia's and Greer's blogs and I'm thinking I might need to get myself some notebooks, might make making lists and referring to them more appealing :)
ReplyDeleteStitch: I bought the yarn for the Playful Stripes cardigan (Alana Dakos) for both my girls on Saturday but have a birthday pressie to be getting on with first. The time delay might help me forget the cost per cardigan - yikes?!
Read: I'm enjoying the latest edition of Molly Makes, I love love love that magazine, the styling is gorgeous and this one comes with a calendar.
Covet: Mulch! There is mulch in the paddock ready to be scooped onto a trailer but it would be much easier for me to ring the man who will deliver it by truckload right next to where it's needed.
Blog: Inner Pickle (http://innerpickle.com.au), I've been lurking on this blog for a couple of years now and I'm so inspired by their farming endeavours, makes me want to pull my finger out and get on with some farming endeavours of my own. And Fiona is a great writer, she has me laughing out loud at times.
This afghan is gorgeous and I've been meaning to get into Maggie Beer cookery, everyone raves about her recipes. Kx
