Wool, washers & (w)apple doll.

Yesterday we drove to Bendigo and I paid my first visit to the Bendigo Woollen Mills. Bren came in with me, did a quick circuit and then went and sat in the car to read his seed catalogues.

Did you know they have a back room called 'The Bargain Room' full of discounted, not quite right yarn?

Needless to say I spent most of my time in there with the not accurate weights, not perfect die lots and the discontinued lines.

The pile above is from this room. I know it would be a better photo without the plastic wrappers but without the labels I'll have no hope of identifying what's what.

With summer fast approaching (?), the cottons were what I was really after. I came home with these eight huge 200gram balls. While I was a bit disappointed at the time with their lack of colour range, when I got them home and put them on display I was only excited.

Yesterday my washer swap parcel arrived from the lovely Anita. The cream angel washer was quickly snatched up by Jazzy the fairy/angel lover and the coffee cup is just perfect for me and Bren with our coffee obsession. As for the lettuce seeds, let's just say in bio dynamics it will be a leaf day next Tuesday and Bren is excited about another variety to plant. Thanks so much Anita.

Thanks Jodie for organising another great swap.

I thought I'd leave you with a photo of Jazzy's apple doll that was uncovered last weekend when they dug all the old sand out of the sandpit at the local kinder. I can't believe how good she looks considering the fact that she has been buried for close to a year. It's funny that her hair and top survived, while her skirt and pants didn't.

I hope you have a lovely weekend.
