Greetings all,
Wow, you bloggie folk are the best ever, i can't thank you enough for all the comments over the past week as i've been exhausted, ill & flat - all things which fly in the face of who i am & what i'm about (energy, health & happiness).
My darling husband could sense how dreadful i was feeling & took leave to come home for the weekend - you can imagine the exciting surprise on Friday afternoon when he flew in & turned up on the doorstep. Yay!! A whole 48 hours with my handsome soldier. I never ask for pity - we chose this life - the Army & more recently, to live in 1300km apart, so my husband could concentrate on his career (wars/ courses/ training/ exercises/ promotions) & our eldest transition to high school smoothly (our 9th school) . . . everyone is flourishing personally, but it is a long road & a lot of work to raise children physically on your own & spend this much time away from your favourite person in the whole wide world!! It was meant to be 2 years, then 3, now it's looking like 4 or 4.5 years, eekk!! We can do it!!
Exciting image of our kitchen sink . . . but it offers up clues of our weekend - a delicious made-from-scratch tandoori chicken BBQ dinner with rice; flowers for a client; remnants of baking; freshly squeezed orange juice . . . capping off a busy weekend.
My donations to the school bake sale . . .
my muffins look whipped rather than mixed, but i can barely grasp a wooden spoon with my hands (carpal tunnel) is really playing up so the KitchenAid did the work for me.
The latest stationery purchases (delivered on Friday) - now to think up what to do . . .
completely love these handmade stamps - i want to use them on fabric or tape . . .
& i need to make a new range of gift cards/ tags, these sticky rings from Japan will help with inspiration . . .
for my next Handmade market i want to put together stationery packs & work on the packaging/ display - i think these stumpy pegs are perfect for the job!!
I'm being very restrictive with the sharing of the vintage stripey straws while i work out what i want to do with them, but they just make drinking so much fun for the children, so i let them have a couple on the weekend.
I should start a series called "images you don't want to find on your camera" . . . always taken by the children . . . this is an outdoor puppy who is only allowed inside at night, after the children are asleep, to patrol the halls & keeps us safe, um, can't you tell . . .
look at that Winter coat around his bottom, SO much fluff, he leaves a trail.
So it was a very stop. start. up. down. weekend with parties, events & cuddles. I'm so thankful my husband was here to courier the children around while i flaked in the passenger seat of my life, if only for the weekend. He has great timing that boy!! Love Posie
