Been away

I've been away... part work trip, part fun. My favourite kind of travelling... observing the small 
things while wandering around big places :) Mostly, I couldn't help snapping patterning...

Interiors



Exteriors



Train stations



Patterns in nature



Simple pavements



And complex tiling



Vertiginous patterns



Random fruitery



and geometric steelery ;)



Fabulous moss



Vanishing point brickwork



and devotional seating.



We had a great time :)



Hope you've had happy times too... I'll be around catching up with blogs very soon :)

Playing with Stitchery

It's been another busy week and I missed playing along with the Made by Hand meme.
Here's a little taster of what I have in the making...







Sad times here in Australia with a political return to conservatism. As a good friend of mine 
so eloquently put it on fb: "It's going to be a tough next 3 years, at least for those of us 
fortunate enough to work in the arts, conservation, not for profit, aged care, education, 
community and government and small business/self employed, refugee & asylum support, 
legal aid and compassionate care sectors people! All we can do is continue to pull together 
and work smarter and in a unified and respectful manner!"

Hope you're having a lovely weekend in other parts of the world :)

Phew!

So glad that's all over (again!)... :)
