Attended the guided tour of Last Drinks - One More Round at the Australia Hotel, that used to be located where the MLC Centre currently is. It was also nice to hear about Sydney's original Laneway - in the heart of the CBD.

It took a few dedicated good friends to inspire me to start working on my range for children! Each year our friends  arrange a charity event, politely requesting family and friends to provide gorgeous gifts or events, to be auctioned and raffled to raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. This was my inspiration! I have made a Baby Blanket, that can be used as a blanket on the cot, or as a play blanket on the floor. This is the first of the items I will be selling and making to order.

The Blanket is handmade, and the fabrics are taken from my collection of Designer Guild fabrics, which I purchased while in London earlier this year. in the photo below the Baby Blanket is displayed upon an old garden chair that I sanded back, repainted and decoupaged. These are also available to order, but they are a work in progress! Two chairs have a Paris street map on them, the other has a Rome street map. Currently only the one in the photo is finished and ready to go.

A beautiful weekend which included Everglades on Saturday afternoon, then a serious walk through the Blue Mountains on Sunday morning, from Leura to the Conservatory Hut at Wentworth Falls.
