It was my sister's birthday today! Here she is modelling her new jacket that I just finished for her. What a perfect fit even though it isnt cold enough to wear it as yet. I havent quite finished her socks but I will tonight, only a toe to go! She will receive them when she gets back from her holiday to Noosa for the week, which is a pressie from her new man so I am sure she will have a fantastic time up there! Happy Birthday sis!
Oh and I popped up a picture of all the rain we had on the 1st of January. It was so heavy even the verandah had to be cleared of shoes so they wouldnt get soaked. Our plants are growing so well now so Im hoping with this hot weekend that we will get some more rain during the week. I need to buy another drought tolerant tree though as our beautiful maple tree died during the really hot week we had a few weeks back. The new crabapple is growing well though so I might get another to put in the maple tree spot! All the new plants have grown really well with the weekly rainshowers we have been having.
Knitting plans are underway with my lovely friend Katt! She suggested that we try and knit 12 pairs of socks this year and since I have nearly finished my sister's pair and started them in 2010 they are going to be my first ones. Next up might be the mustard color or the blue ones. I shall let you know when I decide. Oh and I was so happy that you liked my new look too, it is quite refreshing to see it!
