Woolloomooloo...My Version

Woolloomooloo...April 24th
A work in progress...spun wool yarn knit into large wool "pillow case". Stay tuned.

Lunch at Woolloomoloo, sounds lovely. I love your necklace and scarf.  I have been thinking about working with silk cords and beads. My version will no doubt follow now that you have planted the seed. In the meantime I couldn't help but add my photo for today Woolloomoloo!

Clara - Your pillow reminds me so much of the Niddy Noddy, where you spun your own wool and we would weave loom shaped garments.
Woolloomooloo is the name given to the horseshoe-shaped valley immediately east of the original settlement of Sydney Town.  It was  thought to have been an important Aboriginal ceremonial ground, hence the name. 

'Near Sydney Town there's a place of renown,

Which is well known to you, it's called Woolloomooloo,
It's easy to say, I know very well,
But Woolloomooloo is not easy to spell.
Double U double O double L double O M double O L double O
Now make that a feature, and I'll be the teacher,
Let everyone here have a go.'
Most just get around the problem by calling it the 'Loo.

I was close but now that we have Spell Check back all is well.
