I have been crafting. I just have to snitch moments when I can...
I have made Marians Skirt. My girl friends sister was wearing a similar skirt, which she covered. I feel in love with it. She trusted me with her skirt and her book. I made my own skirt with denim from my neighbours stash (i know lucky me)... Now, another friend of mine saw it and wants to make one. Lets hope Marians skirt keeps being shared. She is good.
This is what 34 complete and 11 to-be-sewn civil war blocks looks like. Seven more to cut. Was going to have this done well and truly by now. Got distracted and have run low on some fabric. Will get back to it.
Working on this for the Little Man for winter. My biggest knitting project to date. Just loving it.
Been out in the garden a lot as well. I think we are close to getting it right.
Also reading this book for book club. It has actually got my attention.
We have been building up to the end of rowing season. Though I REALLY enjoyed the last camp/rowing weekend I am pleased it is the end of the season. Orienteering has also died down. Both boys did exceptionally well in the State competition. Wonder what they will do over winter. They both have changed 180 degrees with their sports/music this year.
The Little Man is a busy boy. Easter Chocolates = + activity and - ability to reason. His day sleeps are shortening (hummmmm). He still wont sit and watch TV (sob sob) even when I sit with him during Play School to catch my breath (argh). He is perfecting tantrums and testing who is boss (yes sireee).
It was rather freighting seeing how many pups Abby's age are needing homes at the dog home. Not surprising considering we are going through the phase at the moment. I see the potential - she just needs to learn the rules. Like another toddler in the house but she does not wear nappies and sheds despite daily grooming (which she totally hearts).
There is never enough moments in the day to do everything I would like!

You know how much I love that skirt - right? Once I'm getting enough sleep again (soon, soon! We are practicing tough love this weekend) I'm totally gonna find out where you go that pattern :-)
I'm also going to get right into that book club book... When the sleep thing happens. I'm hosting this time round.
Oh Sarah I Hear Ya...
Hope Life settles down for you Soon.
cheers
I can only imagine how busy you must be with three children. I've only got one and this weekend we have scouts, guitar, archery and Scouts parade. Try and take some time out for yourself and ignore the housework!
Love that skirts!!! And good to see there is still some quilting action going on... even if you're still going.
Rowing hey? Does that involve cold mornings??? All good things must come to an end.
OMG look at Abbe, she has grown so much and she is so adorable.
