Isabelle wears her Poncho at Threadbo. The journey to Adelaide - July 2005

We made it to Adelaide earlier than expected having had a better journey than expected. Who could have predicted that every time we tried to stop Isabelle would scream “NO! DON’T STOP! Just drive - I want to go to Anne-ma’s house NOW”. She was so patient and well behaved, a dream to travel with really. I haven’t got the energy tonight to write anything sensible but the extended entry has a ton of photos from the journey, mostly from our brief visit to Threadbo yesterday.

The blanket kept me toasty warm as I stiched down the binding.

Head set on one ear, phone on the other, the joy of being on call 24*7.

Sophie. The journey to Adelaide - July 2005
Once Isabelle’s travel blanket was done it was time to get back to the knitting. This is the start of my second Sophie.

Aw, Isabelle looks too sweet and warm in her poncho! It looks like you had a great trip there! I hope you all have a lovely visit.

I just looked at a map to figure out why there would be snow on the way to Adelaide…oh, ’cause there are mountains! Who says reading blogs isn’t educational?? Great pictures, and Isabelle’s quilt is beautiful, I love the polka dot fabric. Her poncho fits her fabulously, and I’m so curious about how your Sophie will turn out. Felting, another thing I’m dying to try.

Well that answers my silly question from few weeks ago of “does it snow in Australia?” Whee! What fun!

Welcome to Adelaide……… after seeing your pics I am thinking perhaps I should actually leave Adelaide for once and go and see some snow:)
Enjoy your stay.
I can’t wait to see your sophie.

OK….learn something new everyday! I never knew it snowed in Australia! Thanks to Steph’s comment I now know why. Phew!

Great pictures. Isabelle is such a cutie!

Hiya Jo…….. just wondering if you could resend your email to above address as the other one won’t let me open any mail. Mean Mean Mean inbox.
The pics of Isabelle and the snow are just gorgeous.
