Time for a Change

Our crazy, dare I say Melbourne, weather today has driven me indoors and as always, I can't help but glue myself to the computer and do a bit of tinkering.  As one should.  Every now and then. 

I've been thinking about updating my blog header (or banner) for Textile Tourist for ages.  So, it's finally done with a whole new look.  A little more dramatic and, so I've just noticed, mostly colourful photos from our Asian adventures.  I've also followed Clover Lane's instructions again because it's Blogger, Picasa and EASY all rolled into one. 

Other than doing a bit of stitching, I can't think of a better way to pass a rainy day! 

(Just as an aside, we'll be on the move again shortly so I hope to report back on some more interesting textile finds. Of course, that will be absolutely no trouble...)

A Bit of Reminiscing Never Hurts

Port Stephens is such a lovely area and we have many great memories of lazy summers camping there with the kids.  We moved from beach to beach depending on where the wind was blowing or what activity we had set ourselves for the day. Life was good!  

I was reminded of our wonderful summer holidays while looking at these amazing photos, kindly sent to us from the good folks at Aqua Mantra, Nelson Bay.  It speaks volumes.  There really is no place like home!
