Birthday surprise.

Last week I had my birthday... DH asked me where I'd like to go for the weekend, after considering visiting DD1 Victoria in  Queenstown NZ.... no! too far for a weekend or maybe Sunshine coast to catch up with DD 2 Kate no! not long enough in the warmer weather.... I decided it was time we went over to Hobart ... we had been to Cradle Mt about 11 years ago and have always promised ourselves another trip to Tassie.... so we flew over Friday morning and we stayed here...
The Henry Jones Art Hotel
This would have to be one of the most interesting hotels we have ever stayed in, it was built in the old IXL jam factory which they preserved as much as possible.....
keeping the original beams and stone walls.....
Then on most of the walls and in every room there was artwork of every type; some that inspired and some that didn't but all very interesting....
this is a large painting of one of those little plastic pigs from a toy farm set... different....
I will show some more pics of beautiful Hobart  and some sewing soon...
happy stitching everyone.
