our creative space . . . 'a pudding kind of day'

Greetings all,

It's wet, it's cold & it's a pupil free day in Canberra so i'm home with all 4 children & quite frankly nothing better to do than bake them a self saucing pudding, chocolate & everything.

No, until now i'd never heard of a pupil free day - on a Thursday, in the middle of term 3, what?? 

Anyway, voila, pudding is done, not quite on the window sill of my homestead kitchen fantasy, but on the drainer of my Army house, please don't examine the windows.

If the children are to have a Department of Education sanctioned day off school, they may as well be spoiled.  I was spoiled yesterday with some tulips from Tania McCartney!!  Oh stay tuned, i'll be doing a giveaway for her latest book in a fortnight. 

 A day without school runs & children begging to have a pyjama day - i should be tidying my studio, look at my sewing machine . . .

 sorting out what is in these bags - all those blue fabrics were taken to Brisbane & back in the school holidays, i was meant to cut them up for a hexagon quilt, still untouched . . .

 & putting fabric back on racks, i'm such a lazy fabric librarian!!

 Instead, i went to the gym, then the accountant (in that order, poor bloke) & have been having fun with the children.  Not very creative but damn meaningful.  I'm being lured back to the lounge, after i dish out servings of pudding for afternoon tea (if you know me, my children rarely ever get afternoon tea or pudding or dessert, so their heads are exploding with joy).  Me, well i'm on an eating plan, so i'll just sniff their chocolatey bowls of deliciousness & lick the serving spoon.
