The unbearable cuteness of being: FO and WIP

It's been raining for yonks now, which is great, not only because I love love love the rain and crazy stormy weather but also coz it means I'm kept inside sewing.

I fiddled with the prototype of the flowery one from the other week. There were a few things about it I thought needed polishing. Here's the new version:

Shins

Hubby and I just got tickets to see The Shins in August - woohoo! Very excited.

If you've been watching Aussie news I don't need to tell you how crazy the weather has been round the Sydney area. Massive storms washing away roads near Gosford, trees coming down, beach sand near our place washing up over the streets. Hubby ripped off his sodden socks and discovered he was wearing nice footless tights made of mud.
