Tulip Etimo Rose Crochet Hooks

I saw these crochet hooks online and couldn't resist - I love pink and I love to crochet, so these are just perfect for me. They were a little expensive, but it was my birthday, so I ended up getting them as a gift (from Midwest Scrapbook on Ebay).

They were sent out quickly, but after about 5 weeks they still hadn't arrived, so I was getting really worried. After lots of phone calls to the delivery company and Australia Post, they finally arrived yesterday, nearly 2 months after being sent. I am so happy to have them - they are just as cute as I thought they would be!

Gluten Free - Sunshine Coast

 
 
We spent the weekend on the Sunshine Coast and on the way home stopped off for breakfast at GFFM - Gluten Free For Me. We had waffles and a roast pork baguette and both were delicious. Prices were good - regular prices rather than 'gluten free' prices - there was lots of choice, and best of all, everything was gluten free!
