The Chocolate Shop







I've been tangled up in yarn so haven't been around to add to my blog. And in between my tangles, I've been enjoying some fine motobike rides with my husband through the gorgeous countryside here in the Illawarra. My favorite so far has been our rides to Berry to pick up sourdough bread and to check out the latest window display at the LYS called Sew n' Tell. Yesterday we rode over to the seaside to have lunch in Shellharbour Village and were so lucky to enjoy a really quiet Spring day. No rain, all sunshine for a change. The highlight for me was dessert at The Chocolate Shop.
Yes, if you ever make it to this place, you've got to have some chocolate at the chocolate shop. I've added a foto of what we shared: a rich hazelnut cake that was dripping with dark yummy stuff.
Very decadent and oh so good, mmmm.

I've managed to complete four more designs, knitted and all, in the past couple of months while tending to an allergic reaction that had me swell up...not really worth telling any more than that. It was painful.
Working a lot to get my website up and running. I've discovered that the most time consuming part if editing and formatting the images to get them just right. Gosh! how easy it is to take all that imaging for granted until you have to work on it yourself. I think I'll start to look into updating my digi-camera this next year as that may help me with what I'm trying to do.

If you've got any tips or suggestions to any good digital cameras out there, do let me know.

Well, hope you are also knitting up something wonderful to wear when not browsing the blogs here in cyberspace. I'm torn between trying to do too much but love knowing that I can cuddle up to my dogs and cats when knitting after a few hours spent roaming through and staying in touch with fellow craftsters. Craft on amigas/amigos.

Yours truly, the BrightsideKnitter

I'm also launching my website tomorrow, visit my work at: www.brightsideknitter.com/
