The first miracle....
I KNITTED!!!!! I bought some yarn and a pattern and started knitting. I haven't knitted in years!!! Well here is the finished product...
It's not perfect but for someone who has not knitted in a few years I am happy with the end result. I have added another toggle to the front since taking this photo.
I also made up this little hand bag I bought as a kit from my fav craft store Spotlight...
I love the colours and it as just so whimsical, I love it! Gave myself a huge blister on my finger from doing all the stitches but it was worth it!
The second miracle....
We finally got our deck covered!!!! We have been saving for it for a while because every one said it would cost about $1000, but we managed to do it for under $500!!!! David and his dad Ray did all the work with a little hand from Spencer and they have done a great job I must say....
It is so great being able to stand out there when it is raining and it just looks really good. Thank you my darling husband David and the greatest father in law a girl could want, Ray, with the help of Spencer you all did a great job.
I have lost 12kilos on my diet, mainly from my hips and stomach. A long way to go but feeling much more confident and sexy I must say.
I know we don't look all that happy in this photo, but it was about the 10th photo Ray had taken of us and we just wanted to go out to dinner! The first dinner we have had alone as husband and wife sine the honeymoon 6 months ago!! We don't really get a lot of time alone together, so when Ray and Maree offered to look after the kids we jumped at the chance!!!
