Posts are few and far between at the moment…I know!
I’m buzzing around with the kids. Trying to keep them busy in the house when its whaaaay hot outside! They can’t really get out until around 6pm to do anything physical. In short I think we’ve been getting under each others feet a lot!
It doesn’t help that I’m about to turn a year older. I never deal with calender aging very well. It didn’t used to worry me but for some reason a few years ago it really started to. Not that I’m vain and don’t want to ‘grow old’. On the contrary. I intend to not only grow old but live long enough to become a handsome burden to my children! I guess it’s just a time of year that you realise that your life is finite and another year of it is behind you now instead of in front of you.
Nuff whinging.
What’s been happening here?
No sewing that’s for sure! The only thing the sewing machine has been good for lately has been playing the part of a night light for Little Bush Princess night time wanderings!
So here’s something that lives in my ’sewing area’ whether I’m crafting or not.
It’s my printers tray. I’ve owned this thing…forever. However I’ve only recently started adding to it myself. It also holds some of my husbands bits and bobs. It’s a nice blend of our interests…only I think I have more things in there than him now!
My little…and mostly naked dolls live here. Why do the dolls get through but the clothing rarely makes it? TLBP dressed the little girl above and made her a book to read….too cute!
Brooches from when I was little….my grandmother’s thimbles and my doll shoe collection all have a place.
It’s just a bit of fun really.
‘Somewhere safe’ for things that have nowhere else to go I suppose.
Even though sewing is out of the question with the kids to entertain and a house to decontaminate 24 hours a day while they rampage through it…I did get to an op shop today (I told the kids if they let me go to one op shop I’d take them to the pet shop. Three op shops later we entered the pet shop…but didn’t get home until I’d been to just one more!).
I got some more vintage Sesame Street fabric…yee ha, some school shirts for the boy, some little dress ups for TLBP and this gorgeous cafe curtain.
Still wet and hanging on the line when I took this photo…but you get the idea.
I think it will make a fantastic frock for TLBP. Can’t wait to sew it up!
