And it's raining!
Not a little rain but rain causing flooding of roads, and release of water from Brisbane Dams (in cautious response to the disastrous floods in Brisbane 2 years ago).
So with a rainy 3 days ahead there will be much knitting, crafting and probably blogging to show you what I've achieved. There will also be a bit of shopping, a BBQ, some Damper with Golden Syrup tomorrow, not today (I make mine with half milk/water, and grated cheese sprinkled on top).Oh and a night out at a good old Aussie Pub!
I'm getting off the track a bit...
I'm a little bit thrilled that a very nice man emailed me a few weeks ago asking to use my photo of my
Flower Garden Tea Cosy to illustrate a reader's comment in the UK charity http://www.actiononhearingloss.org.uk/ member's magazine.
Of course I said yes, and the other day he was lovely enough to send me a copy of the page containing my Tea Cosy Photo (and credit to the blog :-) on it before it went to print, thank you Paul.
I'm sure it's governed by copyright so I probably can't show it here, and I know one's photos are on the net, but it was still a little bit exciting to see it used in a magazine - for me anyway!
Thanks for visiting,
Jen.
How wonderful to have the photo of your gorgeous teacosy used by such a worthwhile group, congratulations! So now even more people will know and love your work! :-) Sounds like a very busy Australia Day weekend for you! lol
ReplyDeleteThanks Maria, I try hard to take decent photos,I'm so pleased I put in the extra effort now. Yes,I'm really pleased it was for such a worthwhile charity, I've learnt a lot more about them.
