Today I made another Hot Patterns tee - don’t I look so happy! Look at the tshirt not at my face, please. This was the best photo of the bunch - doesn’t that say something!
You really have to excuse the expression on my face there! Jack (6) was taking the photo and I must have been in the middle of stressing about the camera, or something. Anyway, this tee went together fast and easy and fits great so I am happy.
After I wrestled the camera back from Jack I thought I’d have a go at some of those arm-outstretched self-portraits and this one actually turned out pretty well. I recently changed my hair a bit and I’m quite liking it. I wasn’t sure at first, but now I’m liking the flick.
I also made another Christmas wreath - again from a cane thing I picked up at the op shop. I wound some silver star tinsel, red garland and attached some Santa tags and a cute Santa tree ornament. Voila, it’s Christmas.
We don’t usually do any decorating until the official date (in our house) of December 1st but I have enjoyed sneaking these in before time.
Time for a quick whinge: who else here in Australia saw Prime (Seven) promising a “Series Return” with lots of advertising for Grey’s Anatomy. Of course the 10pm timeslot should have been a giveaway, but I was so annoyed when I sat down to watch it and it was a repeat series rather than the new one.
Another one: tonight on Prime (Seven) again, we had the “Series Final” of Heroes but hey, it’s only up to Chapter Nine! There are 12 shows in the series! Really, do they think we won’t notice?
In good TV news, I recently got the Series 1, 2 and 3 of Project Runway on DVD from eBay and I am halfway through Series One and loving it! Not having Pay TV, I have never seen these. I love Jay and of course Austin. Don’t tell me who ends up winning, whatever you do!

That first pic of you is hilarious! But the shirt looks great.
I heard a news report on your newly elected leader. I’m so jealous that your government both acknowledges climate change AND wants to do something about it!

That is SUCH a cute knit! Where is it from? I think I could brave learning how to read a pattern to make one like that! Well done!

I love the apple fabric. I LOVE project runway, too! I am watching season 4… it’s such a great show.

I love the apples on the fabric. Re: tv rant - I had constant conniptions over Ch 9 rescheduling The West Wing….and then, the lovely, wonderful ABC took it over and the world was a better place. And then it ended. boo hoo.

Love the shirt! I’d be stressing too if my little guy was touching my camera. Your little guy did a good job though
