would you ever have imagined

that when a toddler eats a lot (like maybe 2 handfuls) of sultanas for aternoon tea, there will be grapes in her nappy the next morning? Yep, rehydrated sultanas..........

One of the little moments of joy peppered through my day!

oh my

well......

i am still alive. just lacking in words. so much has been happening and i really should be writing about it, it's exciting and i will want to be able to come back to read about it and reminisce at some point down the track...

my shop at etsy is slowly getting there, i just need to make sure i put in the effort that is needed to keep it all well updated and exciting looking, i really need to learn how to take better product photos.

i am also having a fortnightly stall with megan (aka platypus face!!) at the rose st market which is really fun. if you're nearby on a saturday, pop in and say hi! our next one is april 28th, and then every second saturday.

and as a result of all this shop keeping i have been sewing a lot. a lot!

i love my new bags, i bought some of lara's beautiful fabric recently and the bags i have made with it are fantastic, if i do say so myself.

sweet.

too hot, can't talk

Look at my cute baby instead.

golly

It's been a while, sorry. I'm such a lazy blogger. Think of it as my Christmas holidays since I don't actually get holidays.

So, what's been happening? Um, lots. Am I going to tell you all about it? Um, probably not. My memory is the proverbial sieve. I'll try to recall the large chunks and globs that didn't fall through the holes for you.

Oh yeah, I fell over, that was a good one. Finn and I were walking home from school on a Friday afternoon, I think it was the week before Christmas, I was admiring the beautiful artworks he was bringing home and wa-la! I stood in a hole. At first it was just a massive graze but by the middle of the next week the inside of my left ankle had a gigantic bruise and started to swell up. Turned out I tore the ligament, I had crutches (also known as crunches!) for Christmas. I'm fine now, thanks.

And I saw snow for the first time in real life, on December 27th!! In the middle of summer, so nutty! It snowed on the mountains on Christmas day and Boxing day so we all went for a drive up to the summit of Mt Donna Buang and lo and behold!

Somebody had even made some snowmen.



Um, what else? Oh, I sold my first purse on Etsy to a stranger! That's such a fantastic feeling! It's also a fantastic feeling to sell them or do some swaps with people i know or have met through Etsy but this one yesterday was just out of the blue! So very cool!

Okay, my memory is tired now, I'll come back again soon. And i'll try to be a bit less scattered, promise.
