This and that

My blogging today is like my life, all over the place, about this and that and generally off routine. I am trying to go with the flow and establish some sort of rhythm, but you know, its not happening today. So I think I shall throw caution to the wind and see what happens if I just let go of trying to control it. I feel much better after my emotional out pouring yesterday and again thank you for you comments, I will be emailing you personally when I can. Some words of wisdom going those comments. So amongst the emotions this week it is a happening week. Its our school PTA summer fun day and as usual I am in charge of organising the craft room. I love doing this, but this Saturday I have no one to take the children around the school whilst I do the crafts. So I have roped someone in to cover for me and I will stay as long as my children will tolerate it, bless them. Its so hard doing these things when you have to keep an eye on your own children, I want to do so much more, but I have to realise I have limits without support. So I will be organising it and setting up, lots of running around this week getting all the last minute bits for it.
We are setting up to make grass heads. The craft bits are pin wheels and flying bugs, plus an open table to make cards, lots of cutting and sticking I might even venture in to taking some of my stamps. I am a little worried about the ink pads getting ink of clothing, anyone any thoughts on this? This week it is my week for flowers in Church Busy! busy! busy!
SO you will be surprised to know I finished off knitting the handbag, I just kneed to felt it now.
Talking of bags, this is just a little snap and not a good one (the light was so poor) of a bag I made for my friend...Hey Caroline are you using it? Its just the right size for nappies and wipes and all the baby stuff...NOT!!!

So I need to get off to the post office, BIG PARCELS to send out...The photos today are as much of a mish mash as I am at the moment. The first one is a snap, I saw it on a walk with the children and thought that's cute. The second one is a corner of my home...a brave picture to show you from me as its one my bedside tables. Only a few more posts till the 100th post and the liberty fabric giveaway...

P.S. The visit to the vet proved to be 99% certain Charlie and Lola are both girls, I guess they are just a little frisky...I wanted to type so much cheeky stuff here, but I have restrained myself because they are just to cute...

Quickie

I usually sit here at the beginning of the day and not the end of it. Its been such a busy day. Yet I still have more work to do, uniforms to press, lunches to make, article to write for a local magazine, dressing up outfit to design and some more cakes to decorate after another mass baking session with the children, they are on a cup cake frenzy! Its going to be a late one tonight...

So I make no excuse for a short posting, but I shall leave you with some more handbag love. I made this on a workshop about my sewing machine, I had no idea that I would actually make something I would like and use. I thought it was going to just be a course on 'if you press this this happens etc...' So I was pretty impressed I can tell you.
Its world book day on the 1st March and our little local school are having a dress up day, animal characters out of a book, my child wants to go as the mouse in Narnia! Mmmmm so after a bit of fabric shopping today, Oh that was hard work, NOT! I actually ended up buying a snuggly sofa throw. It is going to be a bit basic due to the lack of time I have have, but, I could not bring myself to buy an outfit, goes against the grain to much!
So I need to have the plan in mind before I go to bed as I will only have a short time tomorrow to put it together, I have thought about fury trousers, a sleeveless jacket slip (so he is not too hot) a pair of ears and a tail. Mmmm I wish I had more time I would love to run with this idea...
