New Challenge next week, remember

he Peeps - remember we work from the first Monday of a new month. The old challenge has closed but the new one does not begin until the 6th November.

Until then, happy crafting and here is a photo to keep you interested.


Now here's a claim to fame - located in gorgeous Richmond, in the Coal Valley, this is Australia's oldest stone span bridge! It was built by convicts in the 1820's, is heritage listed and is the most photographed landmark in the town. Not hard to understand why is it? That said, the township of Richmond has more than 50 Georgian buildings, many converted into cafes and shops, and is also home to the oldest gaol in Australia, the Richmond Gaol. Definitely worth a look-see 👀 and it's only 30 minutes from Hobart.

Halloween is coming quickly and there are a lot of funny and beautiful Halloween cards out there. We don't celebrate this but it is as I have said before, growing in our community and I see lots of decorations out there. Who know what it is going to be like in a few years time!

Meanwhile, we are at the start of the last week for October's challenge:

‘Dancing Penguin’

This gorgeous King Penguin was so happy to reach the beautiful beach at Fortescue Bay 🐧🌊🐧 on the Tasman Pensinsula.

One of the best campsites in Tassie, located down a 12km bush road, Fortescue is the destination for camping, bushwalking, picnicking, swimming, fishing and being up close and personal with our unique wildlife. Sea kayaking and canoeing around the rugged cliffs of Tasman National Park is also an unforgettable experience.

Fortescue has 40 campsites plus a shower block, toilets and barbeques.

Thanks to Ian Jeanneret for a very cool photo.

A gorgeous female pink robin in the snow on kunanyi/Mt Wellington thanks to Photography By Nikki Long who says:

The little female Pink Robin 💕 They are so tiny and sweet and this one has just a tinge of pink on her chest which does happen from time to time with females. And bless her for landing in some snow for me. She was a fair distance away but kept still long enough for me to get a shot.

Spring has Sprung! Time for a new challenge.....

....and I think you will all like it!

Firstly, a photo from beautiful Tasmania - in fact from Maria Island, off the East Coast of Tasmania.


A stunning sunset on Maria Island thanks to Jan Greig.

Maria Island is a special place with something for everyone - historic ruins, sweeping bays, rugged cliffs and mountains, and remarkable wildlife. Set just off the warm East Coast, the island is easily accessed by ferry. 

Once on the island you will discover a place where there are no motor vehicles, no shops and no worries.
Dwell on that for a while and then look at the newest challenge:  we want you to play Tic Tac Toe!
