And The Weather Begins to Clear!

I woke up this morning and found the sun shining and a chill in the air... however I still wanted to get out and make it a day of attaching my knitting to trees. It sounded perfect; however I still needed to get some housework done first. And so after the laundry was put on, washing up was on its second load and I read some of the paper I wanted to, I prepared myself to get out into the Winter sunshine.

First thing I did was replace the tag in front of the Logan Water on Smith Road. Then, I found I didn't have enough supplies to keep going; and so had to come back home and collect another bootlace and more wool to get it all up and attached to a tree. I took enough for any of the works I had with me. I walked up to Harris Fields School and found the trees were wonderful, but they were far too big. So, I walked across the road and found a few smaller, perfect trees for my work and got to it.

Since it began raining a few weeks ago - off and on - I haven't had the time to get out and do my art. So, I've had time to sit at home and work on other things. There's been my other blogs and more swatches at night in front of the television set when there's not much else to do. So, when today cleared up enough for some work, I didn't hesitate.

Unfortunately, today, I noticed that I'm running low on bootlace leather. So, it's going to be a morning of excursions tomorrow. First, I'll go to the post office, then and send off a few things, then I'll walk to Miller Road and collect a few more bootlace offcuts; more than I asked for last time, to keep me going. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the photos and tune in next time for my next installation.

Until then, keep creating and keep knitting.

Smith Road

Today, I left the house at around midday in search of the perfect tree for my next piece. This one isn't very big; yet it's lovely and textured. I've joined together two 8ply threads of green and brown together; not a bad combination if you ask me!

I didn't have to walk very far up Smith Road to find my place. Outside the Logan Water Department, they have three weird-looking trees. Well, the work is on the middle one; it's also the one closest to the front pedestrian gate to the building itself. So, this one will get a lot of people walking past it. This display isn't far from the Harris Fields Primary School and so there's sure to be kids and parents walking past this afternoon and in the next few days (or weeks) looking at it as they go past wondering where that website'll take them.

Anyway, I'm glad I did this one today because it was a lovely warm Australian Autumn day for it. I look forward to my next one because it's got a pattern in it. Also, I've gotta go shopping for more wool tomorrow. Who knows what the next colours are going to be? Not me, for sure!
