My weekend.......

I've had the most amazingly relaxing weekend and a great birthday on Saturday too.  Thanks for everyone who has sent birthday wishes too.  I was wondering who let the cat out of the bag so to speak lol.  Thanks Anthea for those gorgeous cupcakes on your blog.  They look sew delicious! 

Well first up I should share what the lovely Anthea sent me this week.  It was such a lovely surprise!

A gorgeous mini for the frame that Lance gave me.  I will take a more detailed pic of it later as it is stunning!

Next up the girls gave me some more Lindt chocolates and these magazines which are very topical at the moment.

My parents and brother gave me a kilo of this lovely wool that I had my eye on ages ago, a spinning book which is fantastic, and $50.

My lovely Aunty Vera, Lance's aunt from S.A., sent me a gorgeous card and some money so I went over to Tongala and bought 5 hanks of dyed merino tops from Ewe Give Me The Knits.  Fantastic shop for a little tiny town.  They also have an internet shop but it is only a nice 15 mins drive from Echuca.  Each hank is 100gms and one hank fills a bobbin.  So as you can see I hit the spinning wheel over the last two days and nearly have 1 bobbin full lol.  It is more the colour of the rovings in the basket.

I have also been looking at my magazines and knitting on that lace scarf too.  It is suddenly growing quicker too so it has not been all spinning all weekend lol.

These gorgeous flowers came from Lance's sister in Adelaide on Saturday.  There are some gorgeous yellow lilies that are not quite open yet which will look fantastic in a couple of days.

So all in all a wonderful weekend relaxing with people and things I love.
