my creative space

My creative space = pure relaxation. Putting my feet up catching up on some magazine reads with the Murray in the background. Plus our dog, Max, who had an absolute ball being out in nature.
I am cheating and putting in my creative space pics from last week as we were away camping so there was no blogging for me (not even mobile reception most of the time). There was plenty of this type of action though, lazing around looking at the trees, playing with the baby, going for long leisurely walks, eating great food. We experimented lots with campfire cooking, including Bill Granger's delicious blueberry breakfast scones (cooked by my sister who joined us for the first weekend). Yum!!
There wasn't too much crafting that went on, although I did visit a great fabric store, The Material Girls, in Yarrawonga where I spoiled myself a little. They had an amazing range of patterned flannelette fabrics which I hadn't seen before. Something to remember for next winter. I also managed to do some creative thinking and get some ideas down on paper. For more creative space fun, visit Kootoyoo.

  5. You made me go "ohhhh" Pam. It looks perfect . I think the most appealing part is no mobile reception. Looking forward to seeing the results of all that relaxing, creative thinking.

  12. This looks divine! Haven't been up to the Murray in quite a while... how do you go with Max up there - does he stay close by or go nuts out in the bush? Always pondered taking our dogs away on holiday (camping on the Murray) but unsure what to do with them at night with all that wildlife around...
