Richmond village birthday
On the weekend the village of Richmond celebrated it's 200 year birthday.
There was a parade that spanned the years.
I really love a parade and loved seeing all the costumes and old machinery. Richmond was a convict town with a huge gaol (jail).
Twelve days of Christmas
On the first of December I finally got around to start my twelve days of Christmas cross stitch. I don't think I will be finishing these for Christmas this year, but at least I have started.

Farmer's wife sampler quilt blocks
I am still slowly working through the blocks for my farmer's wife sampler quilt. I had decided to finish the quilt by joining all my blocks together. Then I changed my mind and decided to make the last 13 blocks that form the middle row of the quilt. I thought that if I finished without making the last blocks I may regret that later on.
Now that I have committed to making them I have slowed down and am struggling to find the inspiration to work on them. I have made the first 4 so that is a start. There is no rush and I can just take my time to finish the last 9.
Halloween fun
I am a little late in posting this but I always like to decorate for Halloween. This is part of my bookcase display. I am really happy with my cross stitch pieces that I finished this year.
It has inspired me to make some more. I have a few more pattern ideas and some coloured material perfect for a bit of Halloween mood. Do you decorate for Halloween? What is your favourite type of decoration? Leave a comment, I'd love to hear.
A little bit of spinning
I seem to spend a lot of time trying to find knitting patterns. Once I start looking at one patterns I then end up spending hours scrolling through other patterns. If you have any recommendations leave a comment and I will have a look at it.
Thanks for watching.
