Things have been a little tricky around here lately. Eva is sick at the moment with her usual bronchiolitis style virus, making her clingy and unable to sleep for long periods. There is also the added stress of being on the ready to take her to hospital if she needs oxygen therapy. So far though she is holding her own and is coping pretty well just with flixotide and ventalin.


There have been lot's of requests for "read bookie" Unfortunately it's the same book every time, and whilst I love (adore) this book, I now blame Eva for almost making me hate it!

Sadly, Andrew and I have finished the West Wing. Wow, what a ride. I can't recommend it enough, I also recommend having some West Wing marathons, heaps of fun when the kiddies are at the grandparents for the night and you get a good sleep in. (Thanks Belinda for the recommendation of Damages, it looks awesome)


Whilst Andrew feels bereft and empty after the end of West Wing, I am feeling pretty good about my upcoming adventures. I am seriously in love with my hex quilt. I am really loving picking it up each night and doing a few rows. I wanted to only use scraps but I don't have a lot of yellow in my stash, you can see I have used some fabric for only 3 or 4 hexes if that's all I had. I have purchased a little bit of fabric but not much at all. I am learning a lot about quilting. I was initially using the wrong needle and thread which my mother in law sorted for me, but also about using light and dark colours to create a particular pattern. The stripey Lightening Bugs fabric is so eye catching but I only had a little of it and now I wish I had only used really soft less defined fabrics so it was almost blurry going from one pattern to the next rather than really striking differences.


I am really excited about starting Bizness Babes on Monday. Andrew and I are going to travel on the bus together into town, just like the good old days when we first met. Our conversation though I am sure will be a little different than sweet talk and stealing kisses, more along the lines of how Siena is doing at school, what are the plans for the weekend, and are we up to date with our bills!

I am excited about the next market, we always have so much fun and I look forward to seeing who our stall is next to. It's a great place to socialise and meet fellow crafters. We are going to have a few new fabrics in our range and I am interested to see how they are received.


I can't wait to meet Cindy. I can't even remember how we came to be friends but I feel like I have known her forever. I am bummed about the pain of long distance friendships but excited to think that I now have a perfectly good reason to go to Melbourne in the future.
