Hardangar




Last weekend was great fun.

The local embroidery group arranged for a travelling tutor and we spent to hilarious days learning a little bit about hardanger embroidery. (I think this particular type of Hardangar is called something else starting with "M" but cant remember what its suppose to be) anyway.......

here are a couple of pics. It will eventually be a needlebook and still needs to have its edge beaded but I am rather pleased with the result and wanted to give you all a look.

Look what came to visit last night

The local mopoke (frog mouthed owl) called by last night, Im guessing to grab his share of the mice that are running around at the moment.

So close!!!!!! I stepped out my back door to see what the dogs were barking at and look what I found. Cant believe he was only 20ft from my back door.
