We have a new addition to our chookyard. She's been named "Copper" and has coped surprisingly well, considering the heat and new surroundings. The older chook was quite indignant that there was a stranger in her yard, but has adapted. Here's a shot of her on her first foray out of their yard, trying to keep cool on the back veranda.
I've been stitching on the model sampler this week, but took a break to start Dark Cherry which is a HAED QS which is one design that quite a few stitchers are trying to finish by the end of the year. We are getting pages every second month, and there is a monthly SAL. I'm a late starter. and won't post a picture yet as I've only done a 100 stitches or so, but it's nice to have a new start.
I'll also be stitching a Christmas Ornament next month-I will wait to see the poll results before making a decision on which one.
Speaking of new projects, here's a picture of my new knitting project. One of Ron's workmate's wife is due to have a baby in the middle of next month, so I'm knitting the cardigan (they know it's a girl) but since I've only cast on, there's no picture of that either.
Before I go, I promised on my craft stash that I wouldn't post Luke's "first day at high school photo", but I didn't promise not to post any other photos. This photo was taken on Australia Day at a local breakfast. I forgot to mention last post that he is now officially taller than me (I'm 5'4") and he takes mens size 10 shoe (Ron takes 8s).

The heat has been absolutely awful here in Victoria. I think Thursday and Friday were the worst days for it. Yesterday there was actually a nice cool breeze. On Thursday my parents popped over to my sister's and her garden thermometer actually said it was 51 degrees outside. Ugh! Thankfully my kids start school tomorrow morning and I am hoping there are no 40 degree days. We used to have very hot summers when we were kids too, but we were able to hop under the sprinkler and slide down the wet slip n slide to banish some of the hot weather. I know how you feel about your son being taller than you are. I am 5'7" and my 15 yr old son is now taller than I am and has bigger feet too. I hope his feet dont get any bigger as it is already hard enough to buy him shoes.
