Greetings all,
What better way to spend a cold, wet & sleepy weekend without any sport, parties or shopping to do, than in your jammies & knitted booties, baking & playing with fabric. I did go to Pilates, there was also sunshine in spurts, then took a bath, slide into new pyjamas & put fresh linen on my bed, which i shall enjoy tonight (after the finale of The Block).
After the success of the chocolate self saucing pudding, we gave a butterscotch one a whirl.
For authenticity i thought i'd add this next image - the moment after shooting the pudding, which had already been attacked by it's maker (middle daughter) . . . a sword fight broke out between her spoon & her little brother's fork.
I have a few giveaways coming up with Lego & books, i thought i might play around with my Scrabble magnets to make a fun image for the giveaway posts??
It's not the neatest of fabric stacks but i'm trying to turn from fabric stockist & return to sewing as a hobby, reducing this to a personal stash. At least i'm no longer a lazy fabric librarian. I'm using up all my bolts on sewing & selling FQ at the next Handmade Market.
Yay, i have a studio floor again. All the vintage Tshirts on the rack will be on my website for sale in a few weeks, huge discounts, stay tuned for when i next open my on line shop.
Look what i unearthed . . . my Marimekko remnants.
The prints are so large & bold, i've made bags & cushions from them before, maybe now i'll make some simple retro cot quilts??
We had lamb on Friday night, i NEVER cook lamb without my husband, like EVER. I used a gourmet lamb rub, i think it's a New Zealand brand, it was fabulous!!
The children made a waffle batter & used the Penguin machine thingy, which we hadn't touched in years - it was a slow weekend indeed.
So feeling well rested, a bit zen & thoroughly organised in my studio.
Wish me luck getting the children to school tomorrow (we live 20km north of the city) as . . . Canberra is expecting over 10 000 cars, trucks & caravans to descend on our nation's capital city at 9a.m. for a dozen different no confidence protests - most coming from our direction. To say it's going to put our little city into grid lock, is an understatement. I'm talking road trains - no idea how they are going to get through the roundabouts?? This is going to be crazy. Most of we mummies were chatting on Friday afternoon at the school gate, we don't plan to attempt to head to school before 10a.m. Eeekkk, there goes my Spin class, bummer. The schools are expecting children all day, it's that HUGE & insane. Wishing you gorgeous weeks, spare a thought for me stuck in a protest convoy for 2-3 days, i'm just trying to get the children to school, love Posie
