I was hoping to have lots to show you today but life just hasn’t turned out that way. Instead of doing what I had planned we finally got our new front door on and we are so happy! I can’t believe the difference in the reduced draught and the amount of light it lets in – needless to say we are all very happy :)!
Last week I rescued my apple trees, some herbs and some Jerusalem artichoke tubers from my Melbourne garden and they are hanging out to be potted up and planted out….it’s raining here (another great thing) but I am hoping to get it done today….
There is snow on Mt Hotham and, while it is lovely to look at, it is very very cold!
Knitting is progressing slowly – maybe I’ll have something to show at the end of the week but for now it’s all pretty much the same. I have been drum carding alpaca and silk for Henley Perfected and have now done about 1/2 of what I need…..slowly slowly….it really is a labour of love!

Bec, we too are in the thick of virus-land. Urgh. Sebastian has had a week of it – burning high temps and an ulcerated mouth. Max began getting ill on Saturday and his mouth is now too sore to suck his dummy. He had 3 hours sleep last night which, believe it or not, is an improvement on the previous two nights. God Bless the Wiggles at 2am for cheering inconsolable babies.
ergo: not much knitting going on at present. Very hard to craft anything when you’re carrying 15kg of sobbing babe.
Isn’t it amazing what a simple thing like a door can do for the comfort of a home! Lisa x

I would love snow at the moment, as it is so hot and humid over here. Today wasn’t as bad, but it was up to 40oC the other day, so send some cold snow vibes my way!!!!!
