39 days

well only 39 days to go so what did I do?

1. started a new dishcloth/facewasher. I think we need heaps more. The girls love them.

2. I started a naughty mat - in super bulky yarn to put at the front door for well, those times.

3. got my first delivery of milk and bread from aussie farmers direct. More about that tomorrow after I get the fruit/veg pack.

40 days to go


Well as the sign says, 40 days to go (well approximately, at 3 weeks to go we will get definate confirmation of an unchangeable date!) and what have we done?

Today we have cleared up the garage so that we can move all our stuff down there as a "staging area" and alright we have packed up some stuff and minimised our clothes (again!) so that we have basically nothing to wear!

Then onto something crafty, so I pulled out my WIPs (works in progress, much nicer than UFOs - unfinished objects don't you think?) and finished off the sewing of one thing.

Yes! Isn't it cute? One of two that I am making for the girls. The centre panel and all fabrics used I bought with Spotlight vouchers my friends have given me for gifts recently :P (within 3 years shall be recent!) And I have recycled an old sheet as the backing for the doona cover. All that remains is to add snaps to the bottom, but I will wait until I have all the covers I want to do at the same spot before getting it out.

And then there is this. My lovely sock for me. Other people can take such good shots why can't I?
