A lot has happened in 2012 so far. We went to Bali with friends over Dec/Jan. I was long overdue for my Indonesia fix, so had a great time! Pity it rained almost every day we were there, but still lovely.
Once we got back the house hunting started again in ernest, and we have finally found a place! Hurrah! Settlement is still 7 weeks off, but I'm so glad to have a house to move into and to not be renting in the very near and tangible future. Now I'm full of plans about what we're going to do with our 3 bedroom house on 1/4 acre block. So exciting.
The quilt I'd started in the last post is now almost finished - the top is all sewn together, batting and backing are attached and it is 1/3 quilted thus far. I did make a mini-quilt for a friend who's expecting a baby later this year and that has been finished and passed on to the mummy to be, along with the usual assortment of booties, hats and a crocheted blanket that I've taken to making as baby presents. With so many friends having babies, the crocheting certainly gives me something to do whilst watching television of an evening!
I'm very pleased with the fact that my crochet skills now extend to booties as well as little hats and blankets. Maybe this winter I will finally finish the mohair blanket I've been working on for the last 2 winters! It is now about single bed sized... I accidentally started it with far too long a chain and by the time I realised, I was not going to go back and start again!!! This is how it was looking by the end of last winter...
So, that's pretty much it with life at this stage!
