Knitting

Well hello again!

My name is George and it has been two weeks since my last post.

In the last two weeks *heads off to look at diary* Himself and I have up to all sorts of shenanigans! There was a cocktail party celebrating Chinese New Year, there were guests who we had the absolute pleasure of showing around some local markets, there has been more sampling of exquisite local fare, there was a surprise trip to Campbelltown, there was mitten knitting (my first colourwork!), lots of future event planning, bookdepository.co.uk, and the continuation of the exercise regime.

I have been slack. Only one of these things has produced photos.

Look at my beautiful almost a mitten! *has an immense proud*

The exercise regime has also resulted in shin splints. Incredibly, and sometimes debilitatingly, painful. I missed my opportunity this morning to grab you all a photo with me at the physio with acupuncture needles sticking out of my shins. I’m sure you’re all devastated. I have been ordered to not run, or walk home again, until at least Monday and will be heading back to the physio on Friday for further rehabilitation. Yay! Fun times!

I have yarn on it’s way for me to be able to finally finish the knee high socks I began before Xmas. Due to my cashlessness, and an ordering snafu it’s taken a little while, but we appear to have gotten there in the end. So soon you shall have a fashion show starring these …

… but they’ll be finished. *grins*

Let’s all catch up again soon now, y’hear?!

An exciting life

So much has been going on in our happy little household over the past week!

I’ll begin by letting you know that the Raffle has been extended at the request of Toni the organiser in order to let anyone who missed out on the Auction bidding to still have a chance on some of the Raffles. So the Raffle has been extended to midday Wednesday!

A little closer to home the routine for the year has been settling in, and I now walk home from work 3 nights a week, and go running 3 mornings a week. On the day off we head to Sydney Indoor Climbing Gym.

The most uncomfortable shoes I own …

We also managed a trip to the Art Gallery on Wednesday, thanks to their amazing Art After Hours program. It’s such a calming and inspirational place.

Often a little random too!

I have been knitting up a storm and finishing off some hats to match gloves that I made in previous years.

Nothing I can wear yet in the heat, but fun little projects none the less.

I hope your weeks are being productive and inspiring!

Running out of time!

The Raffle to raise money for the QLD flood relief is still going but ends Monday, 24th, at 9am. If you have yet to enter just head to this post and follow the directions. The clean up efforts are just monumental, and every little bit helps.

So far the combined efforts of all the blogs has raised over $45,000! Go Team Crafty Blogs! 😀
