This weekend (especially today) I’m grateful for my family. Its been a while now since the move (Oct 2010) and the boys are home with me every day.. EVERY DAY! I know I am not the only one in this predicament, like many my husband works long hours, and I am trying to run a business of sorts, but I am sure you all can understand sometimes my children make me go a little crazy, or should I say BANSHEE.
There is hope on the horizon, their preschool is opening any week now. The boys already have places but there is no confirmed start date and it may not be till after Easter.
So when Dan told me that he was going into work on Saturday morning, there was a toddler style tantrum words. I called my mum and she sent my 14 year old sister around for the day. She was thrilled to come, they did painting, watched DVDs and played trains. At any rate who would not want to spend the day with this pair…
I had a lovely day sewing and have almost finished my MoMo quilt.

Ps you might have noticed Hamish’s Echino shorts, I made them both a pair and haven’t ever got around to blogging them. Aren’t they super cool.
I ran out of tags for my softies the other day. Because I sell my craft, I priotitise paid work when sometimes I’m itching to make something else. So needless to say I wasn’t too disappointed to run out of tags. I made some cushions for the loungeroom
rearranged some pictures
made a cushion for the bedroom
Since finishing those, I’ve been working on these lovely embroideries.
Anyway my tags will no doubt arrive today and having had a break I will be glad to get back into softying.
In case any of you aren’t aware The Remnant Warehouse is having its sale at the moment. I went yesterday and despite my children behaving atrociously, I bought some goodies. I’m hoping to go back kidfree on Saturday as well.
In other news today is my 30th birthday. I must say I don’t feel much like celebrating, I have been finding parenting especially hard lately, and Dan hasn’t been too well. Anyhow I’m sure the day will pick up and perhaps all my nagging about an overlocker will pay off.
