A Busy River

Yesterday I mentioned that i was going

back down to the river to see the Submarine 

leave the river . And I am soo happy that I did 

as it was amazing .

On the tamar river at Windmill Point the river is not very wide so 

we can get good views things going by.

And this is the Tamar pilot boat that went out to 

get out pilot of the Submarine after it got out the 

heads.

Whales in the RIVER

THE best thing living here is we are near

the Tamar river and yesterday we had 3 visitors

in the river . My camera is not good enough to 

take photos of them but if you go to this 

LINK TO WHALES

you can see the sights we seen yesterday afternoon.

Today I am going down the river to see the 

Submarine that came in on Saturday leave the river 

will post photos tomorrow .

Teddy BEAR

Meet my new Friend .

I wove the fabric for him on the 

Rigid heddle weaving loom and then 

I used that fabric and made a teddy bear .

even knitted a scarf for him

I am also a WEAVER now

I have been learning lots of new things since 

moving from Victoria to Tasmania (Australia).

Thinking my life was going to be quiet here HEHEHEHE.

With 12 months ago I brought myself my first spinning wheel

and joining group here to learn how to use it . And from this I 

have also been having Weaving lessons to learn the art of 

weaving.

Our lessons are with one of our group 

Louise she is a wonderful teacher and there for any help we

need. Here is my first lesson with the 4 shaft  loom

(borrowed a loom for this one ) It was learning the basic twill

weave

 Also with the borrowed loom I did my second lesson 

which has 80 different patterns on the one sampler

Now I am sooo hooked on weaving I now have 

a 4 shaft loom of my own working on my next lesson

 

Here is my newest toy in the house .

This one is a big project and still  working on it .

Now as a note I am still doing other crafts including

paper crafts , sewing ,ect.... It is just soo much fun to 

learn more things.
