Write your Memoirs like Marjorie

By
Driving in the car with her friends, Marjorie was encouraged to write her memoirs. 
She has so many stories to tell and so she took on the challenge. 
She is combining a mix of stories, photos and little memorabilia.


She has also worked on a beautiful page showing her in her midwifery uniform.
Look at this next one. Here is a lovely reference from her high school. Sutherland Primary School is a lovely old solid building known to everyone as the local primary school. Many people don't know that from 1928 to 1958 it was a girl's high school. Click here and then click on 'heritage' to read a short history of the school.


On the right are photos of :
* The Argyle Cut which you can read about here
* Central Railway station, Sydney.
* The Sydney Harbour Bridge from the Royal Botanical Gardens.

These places are all significant in Marjorie's story. You'll have to wait til it's finished to know why!
I love the idea of writing a personal history. One of the things we were talking about and I need answers on this one. Marjorie would love to make one copy of the book and then scan the completed pages to make digital copies to be able to give to her grand and great grand children. Where can you go to have 12" pages digitally scanned?

These cute little Christmas stockings were made by Mandy. There was no real pattern to follow so we worked it out easily enough by sharing crochet know how and made little stocking decorations until they were everywhere. Wil and Bev G made a heap! Here are some pictures and a pattern! A pentagon granny square folded in half to make a little stocking. Make them in whatever colour you like! Add some sparkle :) or a bell on the toe! Put a few sweets, a roll of mints or a roll of cold hard cash inside, hang them on the Christmas tree and you will be popular. Click "read more" below for the pattern.

Mitred Granny Squares by Janice

A project a day! I have so many photos of lovely things which have not yet appeared here on the blog. So, I am featuring a new craft item every day for 2 weeks, all made by ladies at The Craft Group. To continue… Project 5: Mitred Granny Squares by Janice Crocheted Granny Squares are in again and, as with all come-backs, there are clever variations. These mitred* squares are eye catching and can look stunning depending on the colours used. Janice made this green one which has a lovely 3D effect made by her use of various tones of graduating greens. It looks stunning in a whole finished rug. (*also spelt 'Mitered', depending on where you live).  Janice is then working on some other squares using bright coloured stripes, giving the finished product a completely different look. Nice work Janice! If you are feeling inspired, I found a lovely tutorial on how to do this version of a Granny Square. Click HERE to go to the "Crochet Again" b...

By

The school holidays are nearly over. Some kids have one more week. Why not get creative and make some pretty lanterns to hang in your bedroom? (Caitlin and Ryan... if you make one and take a photo, I'll put it on the blog!) A teacher at school made these with her grade 3 class.  I was the photographer, so I captured the pictorial step-by-step instructions.
