whats crapper than crap ?

So I went to the doctor and I had a test that involved something akin to a small bottle brush being shoved up my nose.

Chances are I have whooping cough -the word looks like fun doesn't it? "whooping" yeah well its a big fat fail in the fun department. Its also a fail in the sleeping department and the eating department and the any chance of feeling less crap than crap department.

Breathing hurts.

I'll see you when things are less crap.

Being a grown-up sucks......

Because being a grown up means you have to know when you are too sick to actually do something you really want to do - Like go to the Quilt and Craft show tomorrow.

At the moment I could not walk down an aisle without needing to pause and sit down.

An elephant is sitting on my chest and there is a steel ball rolling around inside my head - Right now the only thing not hurting is my eyelashes !

Normally I'm a concret pills kind of girl - take two and harden the hell up ! But no amount of self-talk or fabric promises will get this body out of bed and on that train tomorrow.

Sorry.

Burp.............

Oops !

Sorry for burping on blogs -Izzy said that burping is not manners.

Holidays ? Are you ready?

Have you seen what's started ?

That's right Somewhat simple , Cindy at skip to my lou and A Southern Fairytale have joined blog forces to bring you a huge range of

Holiday baking, sewing and crafting tutorials.

Yep everyday from now until August 1st each of these blogs will be sharing a fantastic tutorial.

You know, I always promise myself that I won't leave it till the end of the year to start my making, but I always do. Maybe this is what I need to get me in the mood. I have to admit that last year was a bit of a handmade disaster, rescued only by Etsy.

On Tuesday 20th Cindy will be featuring my One-Hour bag tutorial. If you want to join in, on any of the blogs, any of the tutorials why not post your stuff in the flickr pool.

And if all this is a bit linky mad for you, then just click here and see these biscuits....

Ahhhhh Christmas food......

Are you free?

Is anyone heading in to the Quilt and Craft fair next Saturday the 24 th ?

Being the rather anal librarian type that I am I have organised a little schedule

Depart Ballarat train Station on the 8:13 train

Arrive Melbourne 9:23 am

Meet at Ballarat Patchwork stand (103) at 10.30 am

Re-convene at Amitie (H36) at 1pm so then we can have lunch and check out each others shopping.

How does that sound? Want to come and join us - it'll be the usual Ballarat crafty crowd (everyone welcome).

If you want to meet up - just join us at either Ballarat Patchwork or Amitie- or drop me an email and I'll give you my number if that suits you better.

(please remember that you will need comfy shoes and large bags. I recommend only bringing small axes if you plan to go on an I-met-my-friends-on-the-Internet-killing-spree )

some days.... (apologies to Mr Denver)

Some days are diamonds

Some days are stone

Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone

Sometimes a cold wind blows a chill in my bones

some days are diamonds

and some days I want to stab unsuspecting strangers in the forehead with my quick un-pick

Its nothing personal of course.

Don't worry

I have no idea what I am doing either
