Project update (and moan)

You may think I've been idling the days away preparing for the packers to sweep all our worldly goods into boxes while I wave around looking ethereal without a care in the world.

Let me tell you;
a) sorting out kids toys is a right royal pain in my a*se. Trying to hide the culled ones is an even bigger pain!

b) We still have 10 days of living in this house to go. A myriad of decisions as to whether to throw away the packet food now or wait just in case I need it to make some dish???

c) This office sewing area is still a nightmare that needs urgent attention. Of course, I am in denial and hope it will all miraculously be organized by the 15th (without me having to do it, of course).

I've been getting some practice in on Big Bernie (the Bernina).

Quite industrious if I say so myself! Bernie and I are slowly getting the hang of each other, as you can see.

Pink Moves

I love pink. Love pink fabric in particular. But I have two boys who will take a little pink but not too much. A pink shirt, shall we say, or a pink cup to drink out of.

I am getting my pink fix at the moment making this for a special little princess I know.

I've been neglecting the blog as I'm known to do occasionally! The reason is that we are moving home to NZ in less three weeks! I don't have to pack as we have people coming in to do it (Hallelujah - I've moved so many times that this one may have done my head in) but I do have to organise, organise, organise!

And catch up with all the sewing I've promised to do before I leave!!!
