A Room with a View


Very quick update.

There’s been knitting happening. But the Gathered Pullover’s body is almost finished and a bit’s been added to Juliet. Some knitting has also happened for the Ravelry Swap – but no teasers in case the recipient reads this blog!

Some sewing has also been happening. I’ve finished some curtains which were started last winter and made some baby things (no spoilers for that either as I know 1 recipient to be is a reader). But it’s the first time the sewing machine has been out for a while.

This is the view from my window. Very wintry.




But here are the first of the (rather early) spring flowers.

And here is my camellia bush – or rather – my camellia tree – I have 2 of these and this is the larger. It has bright pink blooms (which you can’t see. And yes, that is our first floor verandah in the photo – and just remember, we have 14 foot ceilings! It is a VERY big camellia.




This is the other reason I haven’t been blogging or knitting much – these two rather fill up my days!



I will try to be more informative over the next few weeks once the immediate knitting and sewing pressure is off!

Oh, it looks lovely, all of it. Last night, at my knit night that someone tried to turn into a book swap (priorities, people!) I snagged a book set in Tasmania so I could at least get to know it better. I forget what it's called, but so far it's kinda fun, even if it does get in the way of my knitting!

And what lovely reasons they are!!!! Your part of the world looks very much like my part of the world in the winter--my daughter will be right at home!
