Scratching an itch....

While off-line, i did manage to squeeze in some crafting.  And didn't it make me feel better!!!  The TODO and UFO list is still as long as ever but every little bit counts...

One Sunday recently Damage took the ladies and left me with the house to myself. I got out a pattern from this lady to sew.  As is my habit these days when left to my own devices, I started bawling.  I opened a bottle of wine, bawled, cut out fabric, bawled, more wine, chattered away to the spirits, more wine, danced around the kitchen, sewed, more wine and finally finished the bag.  Totally emotional way to spend an arvo but also very cathartic.

There's more new babies around:

And have dabbled in tortured artistdom for DB's birthday:

Have also started some christmas in july crafting with the utterly inspirational and unstoppable Planning Queen.  We made fabric notebooks after a sneaky lesson at the Mixtape launch.  We also slipped off to Art after Dark last night for the Art Deco exhibition.  Amazing - highlights for me defo the divine evening gowns AND the ballet and dance costumes on show in the foyer at the arts centre.

Off to my homelands this weekend for some well-needed grounding.

Anyone else got the flu?

I have the flu. I tried to be a hero but finally went to the quak yesterday.  I dont usually do pharmaceuticals but will you look at that - they work!!

They are working so well in fact that I even GIGGLED today.  At this - from the back page of Monday's Age sport section (not a usual read mind you but worth it today):

My phone and coughing mean its fuzzy, it says:

FOR WHOM THE BELL....

Olympic Games do funny things to people. Take for instance Councillors William Spong and Hiram Fong of Hong Kong Legislative Council, who have sponsored a bill recommending the mass ringing of church bells as a sign of good luck to send off the Hong Kong table tennis to Bejing. They've called the bill "the Spong-Fong Hong Kong Ping Pong Ding Dong Bell Bill".

True or not, who cares?

Happy Birthday Dustalina

A Very Happy Brithday was had with the dinosaurs.

I have got a fair bit to catch up on but that will all have to wait.  Thanks to everyone for their kind words and support xoxoxo
