Blue (and pink and red and black and white) poles

I had to go back in daylight, didn't I?

Playing in the Garden

The National Gallery Sculpture Garden, that is. I couldn't deliver my completed Knitta Please contribution without a little photo shoot, could I?Turns out I was just in time to attend the artist talk by Magda Sayeg, Knitta Please founder and yarn-bomber. Perfect timing and a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

This is what Tuesday looked like around here...

Since I spent all last night in a Jacquie Brown Diaries binge rather than a sorting the house out for flat inspection binge I spent some time this morning doing dishes/ compost/ recycling/ bathroom cleaning. Followed by a run to the Post Office to post a pile of stuff that was teetering on overdue.

Stopped by to see Al on the way up to Craft ACT:(he seemed happy to see me)

I spent most of the morning populating marketing lists. Annette Blair came by to drop some stock off for the shop. If I didn't have a full component of glassware (and then some) I'd be stocking my cupboards with her grey range...
At lunchtime I wandered across to the CMAG Members' Lounge which was, as usual, empty so I could spread myself out on the big yellow couch, work on my piece for Knitta Pleaseand create the My Creative Space photos for this week:(a free cup of tea and biscuit, By Design on the MPlayer and I'm one happy girl) More stock arrived in the shop in the afternoon: tumblers by Dimity Kidston.This one would have come home with me if it had happened to be black and white:But, thankfully, it wasn't.I arranged the new stock on the shelves, worked on our new Facebook page while thinking how appropriate it was that the mouse mats were actually cutting boardsand then it was time to go home.

Because, really, why would you turn down an invitation to have your work displayed at The National Gallery? *

I'm knitting again. It feels good.

(The black wool is the leftover Vinnies nasty Nundle from the $6.50 Pirate jumper. The white is a ball of Bendi I picked up in a $5 bag from Salvos. The spots are from the 1988 Vogue knitting pattern I used to knit my first adult-knit cardigan which seemed somehow appropriate for the occassion. I still have the cardigan. I made it in black and white. Just in case you were wondering...)
