C ........ 'Cause it can!


@Sunday

On my Sunday walk, I spied a contented cat making the most of sun and shadows.

Clothing ….. I dyed a piece of a deconstructed hot pink bodice from a silk 'event' 'frock' with indigo. Here it is hanging out to dry.

I have been to another Shibori course and am gathering ideas to add to the large piece which I dyed earlier this year and hope to make into a quilt. Below are some of the other pieces and a dry section of the original 'skirt'.






@ round: What would 'C' be without an element of Christmas?

In the round, is my Christmas pudding. I mixed it all yesterday after having soaked the fruit for 4 weeks. I will fill the pudding bowls today and boil them.

It is a recipe from the Women's Weekly Cook Book. I've been using the same recipe since 1979. What I like about is breadcrumbs replace flour so it is lump free and mixes beautifully.
I first found the recipe in a friend's copy of the book. After years of keeping my 'eyes peeled', I found the book at Vinnies 'for a song (or a Christmas carol!)'.

Colour-coded cords for the printer and wifi connections


I have to have dots on hand to makes sense of all the connections. Changing printers is a nightmare.



I have lost count but imagine this is the last or second last edition of Scatterdays, which I have enjoyed!

Can you believe that this banner is necessary?

Please consider signing the petition at the link below:

And forward it to like-minded people here and overseas who enjoy the ABC.

Can you believe selling the ABC is even a thought in the brain of an elected member of the Australian Parliament?

Ooops! I think it is my local member the Hon Joe Hockey AKA The Treasurer. I'm not responsible as I did not vote for him!
