It is so good to be home again after a lovely weekend of medieval camping. It was wonderfully relaxing – just what I needed – with good sleeps, hugs and visits with dear friends, and nourishing food cooked over the fire. (I will tell you about it next week.)
We returned home to all our animals safe and sound, gardens flourishing, and four days of wood-burning my heart out in preparation for my first booth at the Allora Winter Festival this coming weekend.
I’ve been invited to present my work at “Meet the Makers”, an event where local artisans give demonstrations on everything from bead-making, knitting, and sewing to painting, chocolate-sauce-prepping and doll-creating. It is such a fun group of women, jolly, hilarious, and talented, and I’m delighted to be part of it. We’re all looking forward to an excuse to spend the day together.
If you are going to be on the Darling Downs this weekend, do pop on by the Allora RSL between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to say hello, learn all sorts of crafts, and catch live music at PJ Travers Park.

Now I must get back to my wood-burning. Next up – rolling pins!

Thank you so much, lovely @disqus_o9c9vkchcC:disqus XO You never fail to put a smile on my face. 🙂 I would love to make something for your sis-in-law!!
I love the thought of you doing your word burning with a big smile. 🙂 I hope you have a great time!
Thank you, dear @disqus_v9uRgGTGfe:disqus 🙂 I’m just finishing up the last of my items for the display and am so ready to sit back and enjoy the event. 🙂
The Allora group sounds delightful. Wish we were down your way and could drop in. 🙂
I wish you were too, @budgetjan:disqus It would be so fun to finally meet you in person and have a good ol’ visit. 🙂
I imagine it could be quite therapeutic and calming to sit and concentrate whilst doing your wood burning. Sounds like a fun and supportive day you have ahead of you x
It really is, @disqus_xRgkTDNCQJ:disqus I find myself relaxing as I do it, lulled into an almost meditative state. 🙂
Sounds like you had a lovely time.
I sure did, @emmacrameri:disqus , thank you. 🙂
Sounds like heaven and a good rolling pin to start some cooking as well. xx
love the bright colors and even your craft has that beautiful spirit x
