Home from hospital and recovering. Thank you for the wonderful words of support and care. I am honoured to be in your thoughts. 😊😘❤️💖 . No crochet with this healing broken arm and broken finger, so here's a flash
Queen Babs Sydney:
Hello dear friends, Even though I have thought of you, I haven't been able to write or do anything but survive the last week, so I take this opportunity to remind you that you CAN see yourself as inspiring. . Things are not right in this brain and body of

Rainbow 🌈- got to love a rainbow! I love this umbrella 🌂. Black ones and golfing ones are so boring, so why not cheer up a rainy day? . . When my cousin was three I asked her what her favourite colour was. She told me "rainbow". I
Queen Babs Sydney:
You know you want to...go on. Break out all the #colours of the rainbow that bring you joy! . . Whatever your favourite #colour, don't forget to push yourself outside the comfort zone and stretch your colour muscles 💪. . . Every experiment doesn't

Flashback to this amazing amigurumi gift from my thoughtful and talented friend Melanie @seaville after our beautiful bunny Babs went over the Rainbow Bridge last year. 🌈🐰 . Rather appropriate for this weekend and Easter with bunnies, :rabb

You may have guessed by my absence that I am worse than my normal level of health. That is true. . It is a struggle as I enter the 6th month of being #bedridden. I expected to be getting better by now. A couple of days ago, I decided to walk out to the ki

#Spring is coming to the Northern Hemisphere and Autumn to us down below. I love #Autumn and it's probably my favourite #season. . Martin told me the cyclone is crossing the coast up in northern Australia. I wish everyone to come through it safe and sound
Queen Babs Sydney:
Someone in the neighbourhood likes interacting with my Yarnbomb. Isn't that great? 😄 I haven't been out to see it, but Martin takes a photo for me so I can see. . I am too ill to do anything today, but I'm just popping in to say hello and wishing yo

I love a good cake and this cheese board cake by my friend and Queen babs Crew gal pal Charlie @charlieleth is amazing! . Charlie makes amazing cakes, crochets up a storm and is the kind of friend who jumps in to help when you need it. . Can't wait to see
Queen Babs Sydney:
Purple! I love purple. 💜💜💜💜 I feel the need for purple yarnbombs! Oh and pink, red, green...well, ok all of them! . How do you like the snazzy pom-poms? Pom-poms are always fun and a bit addictive. It
Queen Babs Sydney:
Each year I re-Yarnbomb a series of 5 bike racks in Redfern Park for the love of my community and to spread kindness. . Last year many of my talented and wonderful pals healed out. This photo features some of the talents of @westykazz sunflowers @kitty_kn

It's a very humid, rainy week in Sydney. "It's raining, it's pouring. The old man is snoring 😴! " Did you sing that as a kid?? I did. . Well it's ☔️ raining ☔️ still and the forecast is for more rain. So let us consider the perf

You are beautiful! . Yes, YOU! 💛💖😘 . This is one of the photos of my #justlittlethingsblanket #grannysquares that I am thinking of including in my little book of stories and inspirations. . Do you like it? I tho
Queen Babs Sydney:
Years ago I read some advice which was to "be the kind of person you admire". . The people I admired most were #kind and #compassionate, helped others, valued #friends and experiences over money and possessions, fully enjoyed life and were 100% real, down
Queen Babs Sydney:
Look at these beautiful blue crochet #leaves. One of them might be yours if you participated in the #NCIEleaf project with @westykazz and me last year. . We had some leaves left over even though the original artwork used 100s of them. I used some in the I

Queen Babs Sydney:
Colour inspires me! I could make 8 squares the same colour, but that would not be as fun as 8 different colours. . These are some simple granny squares I made for Peta @thekidcreative for her Redlink project in #Redfern . Good luck with the whole project
Queen Babs Sydney:
I like #stripes! Stripes let me use more colours or contrast/mix and match them. Then just add some #decorations to emphasise my theme or add some #happiness. . I dream in vivid #colour like a fully formed movie and I often remember a huge amount of deta
Queen Babs Sydney:
Beautiful Vinnis Nikkim and Moyà cotton yarn provide the background for today's encouragement and #1happything. . Enjoy the good moments and remember there are great days ahead. I remember making this bag from such gorgeous yarn my friend Jackie @intambo_

Every day I think about the good things because sometimes I feel overwhelmed. That happens to all of us, don't you think? . I find people often concentrate on the things that don't go right or #worry about something that might happen in the future or kee
Queen Babs Sydney:
Each year I have updated these #bike racks with help from friends and had so much fun doing it. Thanks to everyone who has been part of this annual event. 👏💐 . Last year we did 5 #bicycle racks and 5 street sign poles on one day then went for
Queen Babs Sydney:
Being creative is not a hobby, it's a way of life. . . I am too ill to actually make anything today, or even think about new projects or do research or browse Pinterest. . It feels weird! We are creative, that's who we are. 👍😉 Rest today and

Work will continue tomorrow on my #installation. All #doilies are in place, sewn together and I have begun adding decorations. Finished dimensions should be approximately 1.5m x 1.8m or 5 x 6 feet. I'm going to need a LOT more #lace and #ribbon. . :hear

This photo is part of a work in progress aka #wip for a #community #Christmas window. Cross between a dream catcher, snowflake and snowballs. . I love the #shadow it's throwing on the bedroom wall. I did a little bit of this while sitting in bed this morn

Just a reminder for all my newer followers that I have several free crochet patterns on my website, of which this cute little #heart is one. . I was reminded of it because I have a full heart tonight and a full tummy too! Friends Melissa @artistmelissacar

26 November 2016 Time for a story of #Justlittlethings in the #queenbabsstories series. As a young woman, I was sent away from the city and suburbs to a country area of tropical North Queensland to teach English, Geography and whatever else was needed.
Queen Babs Sydney:
I have probably never done anything much that is important to me without putting my whole #heart, #mind and #soul in to it! . I don't think I have any one particular #talent, but an aptitude for #craft, a good eye for #colour and a #willingness to give it
