Greetings all,
Phew, another Thursday & round of the Creative Space game as sponsored by kootoyoo . . . & nice prompt for my quiet blogging since my husband's surprise return (after 7 weeks in the wilderness). He couldn't have come home early, at a busier time for me!! Inbetween looking longingly into his eyes i have been in the studio preparing for Mathilda's Market this Sunday here in Canberra. With lots of interstate stalls coming, it's really made me up my game & get super productive & creative.
It has been a big week for the family too. Our eldest met the Elisabeth Blackburn, Nobel Laureate in Physiology and Medicine; the Prime Minister (he has soft lady hands) & became House Captain at school - just in time for the swimming carnival where i'll rehash my pom pom making skills. Also, keep everything in the household a float has been a test of my organisation skills . . . read on . . .

a few more quilts for the market
to be quilted tomorrow
some folk stickers; & penny wheels which need buttons for headbands
magnets for the Elleni May shop
some hair clips for ChildPlay
remembering to take knitting needles to the market
turning all this research, images, snow flakes & flags into . . .
O Canada O Canada &
Whistler Mountain (Olympic assignments for year 3 twins)
in my spare time, i'll make homemade pasta
my husband made the sauces for lasagne
it tasted as good as it looked & half for the freezer
look at those layers . . . & the salad cancels out the calories
also made a double batch of pasta dough, now who rolls the better tagliatelle??
(top left corner, was NOT my effort!!)

ReplyDeleteCheers, Anne
Hi Jennie (aka Superwoman),
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to hanging out on Sunday. Yippee.

So glad many of you picked up on the fact our PM has 'soft lady hands', my FIL & father both loved it (FIL is a plumber, he does not have soft lady hands; my father was in the Navy for over 30 yars, he does not have soft lady hands) as they consider themselves REAL men!! I did make pasta, on Wednesday, while my husband picked up the children from school, ahhhh, aching carpal tunnel hands & 2 batches at that!! Worth it, oh the taste!! Love Posie
ReplyDeletewow!! you have been busy!! thats an amazing stack of stuff!!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, I am exhausted just reading all of that! I feel like a sloth in comparison. :)
ReplyDeleteYou've got a lovely stock. I'm especially fond of the quilts. I love the cheerful mix of fabrics and colors.
Or course he has lady hands... he has probably never really got them very dirty at all- he is very neat. I bet he never wears any clothes with holes in them etc.
ReplyDeletei wish i knit just for those needles alone!!! scrumptious!!
ReplyDeletexoxo
wow, how do you manage all of this. Do you have any pointers? Time seems to run away from me. You are amazing!!! Have a lovely weekend. Melinda xo
ReplyDeleteAmazing productivity and Creativity! Good luck with your market!
