Belated pictures from November

I'm not sure if I mentioned last year that some of my cupcake knitting was going to be exhibited in Sydney while I was overseas in November?

Marrickville Council’s bi-annual Arts Night was held at Petersham Town Hall on Thursday 29 November 2007. The event was named Map 255: Marrickville (directions in arts and culture) in reference to the cultural mapping that was carried out during the year as part of the Cultural Planning Research Project.

The Project plotted local artists, events, resources, creative industries, and cultural activists on the Marrickville map.

I received photos of the event this week, including this shrine to The Shopping Sherpa:(Tea cosy, cupcakes, vintage bed tray and magnolia teaset all provided by moi via Princess B)(Photographs courtesy of Simon Rowell, Marrickville Council)

That's it then...

One lonely bunny was finally picked up yesterday from the empty shell that used to contain Knit 1 Blog 1.

That damned rabbit...

It would seem that Trudy has been lead astray by Lulu and got into the yarn stash at Knit 1 Blog 1.

I think I need to go and have a talk with her tomorrow...

Wednesday's wanderings

I don't think I've mentioned the Hotel Kurrajong on my blog yet, which is most remiss of me as it's kind of the kid brother to The Hyatt (and even designed by the same architect). It's much more homely (see foyer above) and intimate (with only 26 guest rooms - the rest of the building is taken up with a hotel management school which means the students get to practice on the guests)Today I was lucky enough to be part of a group who got to see the room where Chifley used to stay (and, apparently, died. It's said he haunts the hotel to this day...) Later in the afternoon I took a trip back to the Lost Houses of the Molonglo Valley exhibition at CMAG and the Knit 1 Blog 1 exhibition at Craft ACT to finally have a decent look at all the exhibits(And check out what Al's wearing these days...)

Opening

Busy busy busy...

Things are a happening in Canberra!

The Knit 1 Blog 1 now has a web page as well as a blog.

I dropped off my contributions to the exhibition today after a busy few days creating another dozen cupcakes (duh, I forgot to photograph them before I delivered them) and met Barbara who is just lovely.

Tomorrow I need to start on some of the I'm a knitaholic range that I'd like to have available for sale during the exhibition.

And if that wasn't all, I've also been busy creating a couple of things which are part of a gift not yet received, so also not photographed.

And now I hear a glass of wine, a sofa and volume 2 of Phaidon Design Classics calling my name...

On Tuesday I took tea (Day 26)

It's been freezing cold* and raining the whole day. (*Thanks to Seepi for telling me we hit a high of 4 degrees)

There were bright spots, though:

* I got to splash across to the post office in my spotty gumboots this morning.
* I got an email from Knit1 Blog1 saying my application to be part of Craft ACT's exhibition next month of work by (oddly enough) knitters who blog "is excellent - 10 outta 10 for that"
* Taph invited me to the opening of the Lost Houses of the Molonglo Valley exhibition at CMAG this Friday night.
* And tonight's Stitch 'n' Bitch night.
