This football* season has been great for the Adelaide 'Crows' Football Club. 

The team even made it to the second spot on the Premiership ladder during the year!

This means one thing: finals!

What a Busy Month!

A collage of August activities.

What a busy month August 2016 has been!

I'm not sure if it was a month of productivity or stupidity because there was so much going on. Some was forced upon me but much was of my own making.

Magazine Splurge

The latest batch of craft magazines arrived in my local newsagency
so I splurged!

This photograph (above) sums up my fortnight:

A little splurge on some magazines and finishing a rainbow scarf which you can see pinned to the blocking board.
