Things I'm Afraid to Tell You

this post is inspired by Jess Constable 

and initiated by Ez from Creature Comforts.

I thought it might be nice to every so often share something you might not know about me.

Ever since I can remember people have always taken one look at me and thought that I would be into sports.

I have no idea why!

When I was in my 20's and foot loose and fancy free I had men wanting to date me who were 

PE Teachers, Marathon runs, Hikers, Skiers, Cyclists and they always wanted me to do

their sport of choice with them.

The truth is sport and I just don't gel!

Now in my 40's I walk once or twice a week with a good friend.

This time last year we had to give up walking due to constant rain.

So this year my friend said 

"Lets try Yoga?"

I thought how hard can that be.

Today I went to my second class and I had to stop half way through as I nearly fainted.

The instructor kept saying your tight in the back, tight in the pelvis, tight between the shoulders.

In the end we both agreed I am just tight all over.

Even though I nearly fainted (the whole class knew) and I ache all over and I need to work on my breathing so I dont faint!

I must confess that I am enjoying this Yoga.

I think I might have finally found a sport that suits me.

I will keep you posted.

Just so you know I am still crafting away and turning out lots of Hot water Bottle covers for 

a new market that I am going to this weekend.

This Moment

This week has been so busy and the truth is I have not picked up the camera all week!

So this moment I am sharing is from a few months ago.

These pictures were taken by a photographer at the FIRST THURSDAY MARKET.

Framed Love Bird

All the Blanket Series framed fibre pictures sold.

Which is just wonderful.

I wish I could see what they look like in the peoples houses.

My Love Birds sell so well on my Purses and my Hot water Bottle Covers 

that I decided to frame one.

Here's the little bird that I did.

Here he is framed.

Still going strong

I am still detoxing.

I will confess I have had a couple of naughty foods.

Such as mothers day when my boys took me out to brunch and I just had to have bacon.

But 99% of the time I have stayed true to my no wheat, meat, dairy, alcohol, caffeine detox.

A book that has truly helped me is the REVIVE COOK BOOK.

This book is full of wonderful recipes.

I cannot say enough about this book.

It is on special at the moment.

I missed This Moment on Sunday.

Which was a shame as a major event happened this week that I just have to mention.

Master O is in a mini basketball team.

They are the youngest team in his school to ever play basketball.

They won there league last Wednesday .

What proud happy boys and girls they were.

It was a tense final and I must confess to yelling and screaming a bit on the side lines.

More Fabric Inspiration

I found a beautiful blue and cream blanket in the op shop last week.

It has inspired a number of my creations this week.

the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause,
savor and remember.
