I got some good results from Trove by searching for the family name and the name of the town they came from eg. Wigley Charters Towers. I found these four photos of Frederick Arthur Wigley during his WW2 service. They are in the public domain now so they can be freely published.
This is my final project for my Cert III in Textile Arts. I’ve been working on it most of the year. Today I’ll be putting it in our college exhibition of students’ work. I’ve loved doing it. The hardest thing was putting it all together. Making the individual parts was much easier.
This was our yarn bombing at Marden Senior College today. Thanks to everyone who helped out, it went off extremely well!!!
I’ve uploaded the rest of the photos to my Facebook photo album.
Went to a Ninja Knit-in a couple of weeks ago. After we’d knitted or crocheted for a couple of hours then we went out and tagged poles etc. This is my piece.
I have a big yarn bombing project coming up in November so stay tuned for pictures and results!!!

One Laptop per Child (OLPC) is an international movement that is concerned with providing education for underprivileged children across the globe. OLPC Australia’s goal is to provide each of the 400,000 children living in remote communities with an XO laptop in the next five years. Telstra’s Ideas for Good program is sending an additional 500 on behalf of Australians and will be helping to deploy more than 15,000 to schools in the next year.
Please support this wonderful program!!!! This is a fantastic opportunity for children in remote communities!!!
