South Coast-Eden

Gosh, lots going on while I was away. I came home to Handmade magazine and so many of my friends are in the latest issue.

Kerryanne from Shabby Art Boutique has a feminine Rose design painted on a picket.
Kris from Tag Along Teddies has the most adorable Teddy named Annie Rose.
Vicki from Tozz's Corner has made a cloth doll named Miss Mipsy, (I didn't know Vicki made dolls)
Jenny from Jenny of Elefantz has made Shabby Roses Cushion.
Vikki from Sew Useful Design has designed a stitchery called "A Mother's Love".
Val from Val Laird has designed a cute bird house pin cushion. Heaps of thing to add to my "TO DO" list.

While I'm on the subject of crafty friends and blogspots I'd I've a friend that's just started blogging. Her name is Michelle from Crafty Chookie. Pop on over and check out her blogspot when you get a chance.My family and I have just come back from the South Coast. We stayed at a place called Eden and visited a lot of the towns near by Pambula, Tilba Tilba, Bermagui, Merrimbula, and I took over 400 photo's(sunrises, sunsets and lots of ideas to paint)I walked along the beach everyday.

I just couldn't believe the price of fuel!

This place was so tranquil,(Quarantine Bay) I could have stayed there for hours watching the Pelicans and the fishermen coming in from out at sea.

Hi Anna,

Looks like you guys had a lovely break...and inspirational for your painting too. I, too love walking along the beach :) which of course is a tad to far away form home LOL
As for the fuel, Kris was, shall we say rather annoyed when we had to pay $1.35/L...cheap relatively (though much more expensive than when we left Melbourne).
Hugs, Sharon
