12 August 2012 - Crossing Button Cosies Out & About

A collaboration in creating with yarn.

Thanks to Liz for suggesting this

and to Roxanne for joining us.

We had a beautiful, mild, sunny Sunday morning,

relatively quiet in the city - bright and early.

Afterwards Liz and I went for brunch

and Roxanne went to decorate cakes.

After brunch I went to the SA Museum to see

the Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize Exhibition,

an annual event which is always worth a look
