Friend Plus Road Trip Equals FUN!!

Aaahhh ... Friday! How I look forward to you ... Especially when you include a fun road trip with a friend! :0) 

Yesterday started a little earlier than my ideal Friday, but it was well worth it. The Fabulous Fiona & I hit the road to Warwick, an hour away, to enjoy some of the festivities that are part of the annual Jumpers & Jazz Festival. And what a fun day we had. :0) You might like to grab a cuppa cos I've got a photo or two ... Or TWENTY to share! :0P

We started our day with a visit to Glenrose Patchwork to visit the fabric. No pictures ... To protect the not-so-innocent! Tee! Hee! Hee! And then, of course, we needed to restore our energy, so we had a coffee stop ...

Scones for Fiona & banana bread for me ... YUMMO! Thus fortified, we ventured forth to walk along the main street & admire the 'yarn bombing' displays ...

The sun was in the wrong spot to get the mermaid tail in the photo properly, but aren't the colours pretty. (Notice my beautiful assistant showing it off. :0)

It's Postman Ted & the cheeriest mailbox you've ever seen. :0)

Even the statuary got in on the woolly act. :0)

A little sit-down to rest our feet. This display included red roses of different shades & sizes representing the song "65 Roses" which is about cystic fibrosis.

Hmmm ... Pretty cake, but leaves your mouth a bit furry! :0P

This was the winner of the competition ... Knitted Christmas in July. The names of the display's creators are on Santa's "Nice" list. All of the gifties are knitted & the tree leaves were individually created. Lots of work & a well deserved win.

This display was outside the local gallery ... Pineapples & flaming mangoes. :0)

You've heard of the Pope-mobile? Well this is the wool-mobile. :0) The seat certainly wouldn't have been cold in winter.

This whole scene was knitted ... Including individual leaves & the grass was hundreds of pom-poms.

Afternoon tea, anyone?

The gallery featured a textile art display...

The expanding galaxy was the theme.

We'd worked up quite an appetite with all our walking, so we rested our feet over a yummy lunch ... That I was too busy eating to photograph. :0P Then there was time to check out some more yarn bombing displays ...

This rural scene went all the way round the pole but these people were completely oblivious to the two people pointing cameras at it & wouldn't move out of the way. SIGH!

This Noah's ark display was done by the animal rescue group & was very cute. Last stop for the day was a spinners & weavers display ...

And this colourful character greeted us. Then it was time to climb back into the car & head for home. Thank you so much for a FANTASTIC day Fabulous Fiona  We'll have to go on some more adventures ... I think I just heard two husbands go, "UH OH!" Tee! Hee! Hee!

May your weekend be full of adventures ... & your OPAM list updated! ;0) Til next time ...

BEAR HUGS!

CHEERS!
