So you want to see The Grimstones???

Well here's a sneak peak!

Grimstones Hatched

Heading to the theatre for a Sunday Matinee; a puppet show called:

In tradition of Harry Potter comes The Grimstones – Hatched, a gothic fairytale told with giant books, exquisite old-world marionettes and sign language.
There’s a girl who reads dreams, a mother who sews garments lined with love and warmth, a grandfather who heals people with his magical concoctions and a baby boy with three legs…
This is a magical and inspiring tale with a sprinkle of comedy. Not just for children, The Grimstones appeals to the whole family.

I'm so looking forward to this.....I love puppet shows....it reminds me of my childhood; puppet shows and pantomimes during the school holidays.

What FUN!

Spring has Sprung on Phillip Island

And so have the Gales!

Luscious Things!

Oh Yum!

I'm in receipt of a couple of parcels of lovely goodies. The first is a luscious gift of handspun yarn and a gorgeous little handmade notebook, a pay-it-forward gift, courtesy of Spinning a Yarn. Thank you Jess.....its all so lovely. YUM!

Now I get to pay it forward. giggle
This how it works: I send a handmade gift to 3 people, each of whom will send a gift to 3 people etc.…etc…. if you would like it to be you send me an email! My email link is on my profile page.

And then there were these:
Six sets of little Brittany Birch DPNs (only 3 sets shown), all wrapped up in some lovely wool for spinning.....they needed cushioning you see..... giggle
The delicate little darlings!
Thank you soooo much kniterarygirl! The puss cat approves too.

Oh....and its official!
A cat scan of my head has revealed that I dooo actually have a brain. .....giggle
I must say, I did have my doubts; this comes as something of a relief. .....Phew!

Steel Magnolias

I went to the theatre Friday night; didn't feel much like going (because going out for me is just plain hard work) but I had a lovely evening. And I knitted through the interval.....perhaps I'll start a "knit-at-the-theatre" trend. ...giggle

This is what I saw...

Starring Jacki Weaver, Jennifer Hagan,
Ana Maria Belo, Marian Frizelle, Debra Lawrance
and Geraldine Turner.

The quintessential story of friendship, Steel Magnolias serves up a slice of life in Louisiana that’s as warm and comforting as sweet potato pie.

In the haven of Truvy’s beauty salon, six very different women come together to share their secrets and bare their souls, throwing in a little neighbourly gossip for good measure. From weddings to divorces, babies to funerals, new beginnings to happy endings, they weather every event in their lives with grace, determination, and perfectly coiffed hair.

When tragedy strikes, it is in the familiar comfort of Truvy’s salon where they seek the solace and support that carries them through. Fans of Robert Harling’s smash hit film can enjoy this enduring comedy and heart-felt celebration of love, loyalty, and the bonds of sisterhood live on stage with some of Australia's best loved actresses of stage and screen.
