Crochet by the sea


I know I committed to Blogtoberfest and then just disappeared without blogging for three whole days in a row. But I was otherwise occupied doing something amazingly worthwhile. My first girls weekend away in five years. Two whole nights at the beach at Noosa while Legoman stayed home and managed the kidlets. Aside from the sleep ins, the late cafe breakfasts reading the paper, slow walks, shopping in Hastings Street and gelati on the beach, there was a lot of this......


and this.....


And of course a lot of chatting, laughing, soaking up of sunshine and serenity. So now I'm home to enjoy my children  and catch up on all your lovely blogs.

    Oooh I'm green with envy! We spent part of a holiday there when our first two were little and it is a beautiful place. We always talk of going back, but it is so far from here. Looks like you had a lovely, restful time.

    Oh My! Are you crocheting in a Smurf blanket there? They are on my mind at the moment. (The blankets not the surfs.) Girls' week end! We haven't done that in ages. Well before the last baby. You have planted a seed, thanks!

    I'm terribly jealous! It's been a couple of years since I've been on a girl's weekend away and I think it's seriously overdue!

    Sounds perfect Mel! I was wondering where you were-not in a stalkerish kind of way...hoping you were just busy. What a lovely break away:)
