This is one rabbit hole I’m not going to want to come out of 😊

And talking of rabbits – we grabbed a quick photo
before my friend took these off to her house for safekeeping
I do have some other things on the go….
A bit of craft for those in need – back to the little ones….must use up some odds and ends before they breed 😊
And the new book club read – A Sand Archive – very Australian…not too far from here
Seeking stories of Australia’s Great Ocean Road, a young writer stumbles across a manual from a minor player in the road’s history, FB Herschell. It is a volume unremarkable in every way, save for the surprising portrait of its author that can be read between its lines: a vision of a man who writes with uncanny poetry about sand.
in the mean time, now my eyes are ‘under control’ again, I’m changing my name to Alice (which just happened to be my mum’s name😊) and am going back down, down down deeper than down….’you know where’

That bra must have been so itchy. I found my rabbit hole this week was old maps of where I live. Whole afternoon just gone! Love your rabbit wear!

I really enjoyed that old magazine. I chuckled over the article “I’d Rather Have Girls.” No knitted bra, but I did have a knitted bathing suit which really drooped when wet.

Ye gods and little fishes look at that bra. Can’t quite imagine wearing such a thing.
I’ve got some very old knitting books and mags. The patterns are still easy to follow. Patterns haven’t changed much.
The rabbits are delightful

I have so many crafts that I need to start but cannot imagine adding making my own bra to the list. Basically all I can do well is sleep.

Rabbit holes indeed. Those little sweaters are precious. I do love old knitting patterns but I don’t have any desire to knit a bra.
