Holidays !!!!!!!!

Holiday !Celebrate !

Holiday ! Celebrate !

If we took a holiday

Took some time to celebrate

Just one day out of life

It would be,

it would be so nice.

Ok, so after that the song becomes a bit of an anthem for saving the whole world and completely irrelevant for this post which is just me saying Hi and telling you that at last , through the concert and the flu and the poopin'....it is school holidays. Before you all hate me for being so happy about not going to work,(and the fact that it means all your school kids are home for two weeks) , don't forget my kids are home with me now for two weeks as well -Its the good the bad and the ugly of school holidays really.

Because today was the last day of term I had to work and do all the fussing and backing- up and things so I had a swap and stayed home yesterday ( I work 4 days a week).

So this is what I did:

This is made with some great fabric from spotlight - of course they got ONE ROLL and no they can't get anymore ! I think they called is slicker or something, it is a plastic coated cotton - if you have some at your spotlight please please let me know !!!

Did you see the gorgeous little (very Japanese looking) mushroom fabrics in the catalogue (Homemaker page 20) Well no they don't actually have those either!

They don't know when they'll arrive and no they won't ring to let me know "because...like...they might not even come...you know. The catalogue is kinda..like...more of an idea...of ...like the range...but it doesn't mean it'll...be....like...actually in the store."

Oh silly me I thought it was an advertising catalogue of stuff you could actually go an buy. What was I thinking........

But you know it doesn't really matter because ........I.........am.........on......holidays !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stay tuned for some more regular blogging and the beginning of some reno's on the house. (I have convinced Miss 16 she will not be having black walls !)

Dick and Jane

I seriously love the Dick and Jane range of fabric, so even in my grumpy sick state I was thrilled when they arrived in Ballarat Patchwork last week.




Naturally, I had to get a little bit of everything, they have the whole range, with the co ordinating spots and stripes as well. I bought reasonable amounts of each but already am getting worried that I may need more and all I have done is chop off a bit to play silly buggers with the typewriter !



Thank you to everyone for their kind words on my dose of the flu - Holidays at the end of the week so I am sure to improve ! A special thanks to those non-bloggers as well who visit ! I can't return the visit but I seriously appreciate you popping and say hi. *waves at Bren, Cath, Jenny*

The boys had a great time at the concert on Monday as the lovely Ballarat gale force winds ripped a 15m hole in the tent and Sunday night was cancelled. The couch was still cosy- just a little more crowded
