Not ALL about me.

I met Nat here in blogland by a most lucky accident of a mouse click.

Nat lives in Melbourne and came down to Geelong in September to see the results of Forum.  We met - in person for the first time.  Nat joked that we had been internet dating and this was our big reveal.  I liked what I saw.  She was much better than her photo.

Be sure to look at her blog.
Be sure to look at her ....

Japanese Textile Study Tour.

If I liked playing with fabric HALF as much as I like playing with wool, I'd be going with her like a shot.  Nat is one of those GOOD people, from the core, as well as being funny and clever and artistic.

Introducing the African Queen.

NO.  I did NOT design this splendiforous tea cosy.

But I am green with envy.  I wish I HAD designed her.  There just are not enough superlatives to describe her.  Just drink her up in all her glorious exuberance.

Ms Jenny of Capetown designed and made her for a for friend getting married here in Australia just down the road from me.  The African Queen is coming down under.  But sadly not Ms Jenny.  Not this time.

I met Jenny by accident of a mouse click too.  We have become good penpals.  Or is that e-pals.

And then this came via email from Lorraine of Melbourne

This is what she said - and I believe her.

"I thought I would send you this photo which was not a set up just a shot taken on my iphone at home.

I see from your blog that you love cats.  This is my boy Macciato and
your book on the arm of the sofa.  Quite a cute shot!"

A VERY cute shot which has of course given me an idea.....
