brain soup

bamboo framed crepe paper elephants, moving wings made from bamboo and animal X-rays, striped strong men unitards, purple pants to be hemmed, tie dying, stencilling, tomorrows screen printing class, giant cartoon styled weights, flamenco skirts, Mondrian dresses need facings by Friday for painting, bollywood costumes, painted muscle suits, more fabric needed for flouncy shorts, pink panther tails need to be stuffed, need to find wire to go inside tails.



Is it any wonder that sleep is an elusive beast these days? In amongst all that, one little voice has been quietly and persistently asking to be heard.



and for days I have felt like a harassed mother saying not now, not now, there is absolutely no time....but I guess it is now after all.

  6. I seriously thought librarians were boring and serious people... who did nothing other than reading books. I hope your school rewards you for your hard work!

  12. Blimey Jodie, that's an impressive to-do list! I just love that your post opened with those immortal words 'bamboo-framed crepe paper elephants' :o)

    Looking forward to 'meeting' your new little friend. Have fun with the screen printing - I'm mighty envious about that one!

  13. He totally looks like he could be a hairy hooligan to me (from our favourite books, how to train your dragon.. If you need to get on and work and get totally lost in loveliness, try listening to the audiobooks of them, read by David Tennant)

  18. You are in charge! Even with such a list, you decided to play (tho I think a lot of the list was fun..& intriguing). Never let anything tell you otherwise. On an earlier post, those poor arms sticking out of the box really got to me!
