Woodstead Creative

All set up and ready for with Terrific Creations
If you're in the Mooroolbark area come say hi!

Only 3 more days until 🫣
I wish I felt more prepared!

What is this!? A crochet hook for ants!?

One more week until my first ever craft show as a vendor!
Am I ready? Absolutely not 😅
But I will be there with .creations and looking forward to seeing and and meeting all the other vendors 🥰

Come past and say hi 👋 we'll be inside the senior centre

I hit the wall this week. Hard.
I haven't had a hook in my hand since Monday, and that feels like a month ago.
I have commissions waiting and a market to prep for that all of a sudden is only 4 weeks away 🤯
But I'm in survival mode, and that means tea, granny squares and audiobooks.
At least I'm getting through some of these 4ply scraps! Let's try again next month 🤞

Why am I awake at 4.30am? Who knows, but look a rose!
- A poem

New CrochetDHD side quest, a little procraftination if you will 🙃
Can you guess the colour combination?

The love of field and coppice, of green and shaded lanes,
Of ordered woods and gardens is running in your veins.
Strong love of grey-blue distance, brown streams and soft, dim skies-
I know but cannot share it, my love is otherwise.

I love a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges, of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons, I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror- the wide brown land for me!

The stark white ring-barked forests, all tragic to the moon,
The sapphire-misted mountains, the hot gold hush of noon,
Green tangle of the brushes where lithe lianas coil,
And orchids deck the tree-tops, and ferns the warm dark soil.

Core of my heart, my country! Her pitiless blue sky,
When, sick at heart, around us we see the cattle die -
But then the grey clouds gather, and we can bless again
The drumming of an army, the steady soaking rain.

Core of my heart, my country! Land of the rainbow gold,
For flood and fire and famine she pays us back threefold.
Over the thirsty paddocks, watch, after many days,
The filmy veil of greenness that thickens as we gaze.

An opal-hearted country, a wilful, lavish land -
All you who have not loved her, you will not understand -
Though earth holds many splendours, wherever I may die,
I know to what brown country my homing thoughts will fly.
- Dorothea MacKellar 1904

I don't know the answers to the problems of the past but I do know that love is the only way to move forward. We are all stewards of this land, step gently friends.
