I am trying to not buy so many magazines but when they put issues out like these I just can't resist.........Country Threads stitchery edition and Homespun has an article about Leannes trip to Norway and it is really weird reading the article about your bloggy friends (normal names used) ........and yes Stina you are there in the pic..........and you feel like you "really know them" my Norway bloggers are very special............
Also Leanne is having a giveaway with the "Chooky" patterns we had a Nundle so if you loved them and I know you all did head over and enter the draw........
Finding some autumn pics in the garden............Fairy Girl also made a fairy ring I just had to take a photo.............most of the garden beds are still covered in that horrible umbrella grass but I think it is heading towards the end........the autumn colours are just beautiful.............
take care til next time.....................
