Greetings all,
Well looks like another rainy weekend here in Canberra. Naturally that means my husband must stand in the rain to watch rugby with mates late into the night. So what does Posie do when she's snuggled up in new Peter Alexander pyjamas home alone on a Friday night?? Hand stitching, badge making & anything you can comfortably do from the lounge. I didn't mind sewing my heart out late at night in the studio to meet orders in my 20s, but not anymore. Built for comfort thanks!! I'd like to promote the new 'Lounge Craft' movement.
With a neat badge order for ChildPlay, i thought i'd make the badges on the lounge, with the machines balancing on my husband's giant hardback original 1960's Australia Woman's Weekly cookbook. What more could you want, great tools, a decent movie, access to amazing fabrics, plus 4 happy children tucked away in bed - exhausted from their school swimming carnival & House Captain duties . . . i went pom pom & balloon mad & was an official time keeper, great job if you can get it, sooo much easier than being a time keeper at the athletics as they are trapped in the pool & stop at the end . . . my girls swam 12 races between them, doing it for the house points. Very proud mama.

my MUCH loved apple green coloured 25mm badge machine & resulting badges . . .
my practical-coloured bronze 35mm badge machine which does key rings & magnets too . . .
ah, for the love of wireless internet, King Furniture lounges, new jammies & waffle blankets!!
Rather than drive all over the ACT yesterday (we live in the north, school in the south, swimming carnival in the west & you have to be turning 8 in 2010 or older to compete) - our 6y.o. son had a treat, a day off school & went to see Alice in Wonderland with Daddy. He loved it, my husband wasn't so wrapped. There were a couple of moments at the end when the boy climbed onto Daddy's lap but certainly no more scary than a Harry Potter & certainly more colourful & exciting!!
During the week, after my in-laws left, my husband & i went to see Valentine's Day, great movie, i enjoyed it much more than Love Actually. Yes, i cried, doing a lot of that this week!! Actually after the movie i burst into tears in the food court, i'm sure the people at the next table thought 'that guy is breaking up her in a public place so she won't freak out' rather than i'm just so incredibly sad my husband is about to go away again, after 7 weeks away already this year!! Yes, it's the first week of March, what else is new to an Army wife??
Have yourselves cosy weekends if you're chilly or wet outside. We'll be baking, shopping, farewelling & then you'll see a WHOLE lot more from the Posie lounge with lonely weekends for the next 6-7 months. Love Posie
