New Year, New Beginnings

So it's the time of your where you make resolutions and all that stuff.  I'm not a resolution maker.  I have a terrible time sticking to them, they seem like they are set in stone and I get upset/disappointed/angry when they don't happen for whatever reason so I gave myself permission to stop doing it :)

Instead, I think I what I would like to accomplish in the upcoming year and then if they happen, I'm really pleased/proud.  If they don't, it just wasn't meant to be for now.

So here are some of the important things I would like to accomplish in 2013:

• Open an online store
• Relearn how to knit
• Find a job that I actually like doing with nice people
• Write more amigurumi patterns
• Find a white wine I really like

It's a fairly simple list and I think achievable.  There are of course other things on the list but I'm pretty sure you lovely people visit my blog for my patterns and pictures, not to listen to me whinge about the 5kg I want to lose or the depression that haunts me.

What do you guys have in mind for 2013?

Wine

Mmmmm........wine.

I love wine and I have recently moved to the Hunter Valley in NSW.  About a 15 minute drive from home are some of the best wineries that Australia has to offer.  Can't believe my luck!

My tipple of choice to the moment is Branrock Station Frizzante.  Small bubbles, sweet but not too sweet and low alcohol.  Just so drinkable.

I tried a McGuigan's Moscato the other night.  Very tasty but with a bit more punch than the Frizzante.  After one glass I was feeling it!  Or maybe that was the lack of food throughout the day...

My favourite white wine has to be Margan's Frizzante.  Introduced to me by a fabulous chick, this stuff is to die for.  I've only started drinking whites this year (I've been drinking red for years) and what an introduction to white this was!
