Greetings all,
Oh my aching body!! My head feels like it has a tight swimming cap on it, eyes streaming, blocked ears, my throat tickles & the roof of my mouth itches. You guessed it, a head cold. Argh!!
But that's nothing compared to a dear friend who had to drop off her daughter with me yesterday as her son had a concussion from rugby (like . . . no idea why he was in football gear or who he was) & race to hospital. All i had was the produce from the morning Farmer's Market & empty cupboards, so i scratched together something to make us all feel better + freshly squeezed orange juice (with lemon & lime!!)
I set myself a very basic sewing task today (in my sneezey haze) - wheat & lavendar heat packs/ bags. I purchased 10kg of wheat on Friday & made up 10 bags today, for Shop Handmade tomorrow. The lavender is grown locally, purchased from the markets too.
I like my wheat bags large thanks, so i made square & rectangle versions, all neatly lined & quadruple stitched, as you don't want a kilo of wheat spilling out the sides.
A range from my Japanese lovely heavy linens . . .
& some in Australian screen prints - Thea & Sami, PippiJoe & Kristen Doran.
Much to my surprise, my sweet 3rd born presented me with a picnic lunch on the floor of my studio. It was a bit woody for a high tea but such a lovely feast & kind thought.
So i'm spending the evening tucked up on the lounge, ready for a night of good television (seeing i rarely sit down, i have no idea what Sunday night offers) sipping orange juice & nibbling wooden painted cup cakes, while under new heat packs. I'm not hungry eventhough my tummy feels empty, oh it aches & cramps.
Ok so i stalk my children at night & sometimes take photos of them sleeping - my little fella fell alseep on the lounge last night, i could just eat him up. Look at that lucky complexion & i adore how he & our middle girl still sleep with their hands tucked under their heads. Also note my son has poked his head through an arm hole on my camel wool wrap, surely there is a brooch pricking him in the back?? I hope i sleep like him tonight, love Posie
