Crocheted Computer

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.





Yarn Bombing

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!!!

Telstra – Good ideas for Future – One Laptop per Child Initiative

Show your support for the One Laptop per Child Australia program, and help make a real difference to a child in a remote part of the country. By simply sending a message of support, you can become a part of this ‘Idea for Good’. For every 100 text messages, we’ll give an XO laptop to a child who needs it, up to 500 laptops.

Text the word ‘LAPTOP’ to 044 SUPPORT (0447 877 678)*

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!!!

My great grandfather, who I’ve written about before, was a stone mason. In the book “Some History Of The Village Of Houghton & District” it is said that he built the Paracombe Congregational Church, with help from local residents, in 1910. I visited there today and took some photos.
