We Went Camping Again

And just between us, all I really wanted to do was stitch my curtains and play house. We were both... not grumpy... but not relaxed and grooving to the tune. However we did go to a bric-a-brac place just out of Geelong and I found this biscuit barrel! Now we have three of that particular stlye! I've seen others, but not nice enough (just want you to know that I'm not a mad collector, willy-nilly).

My blossy took me to Point Cook to see the boathouses. They're amazing and beautiful and moving! What a nice day it proved to be, even if the curtains called me.

My Daughters...

Or, the absence of them. Taken by my Claire.

I ordered a Sundress (lemon with duck) and a Pink Playsuit (with duck) from here. They are so quick and easy to do and I'm in love.

Then I found this.

Years Ago I Was Gonna Get This Carved Into My Skin In Ink

But I changed my mind. Phew! It would have looked like a blob around my arm. Imagine Bingo Wings with trees all the way around.

It says:

'Awake O north wind; and come, thou South; blow upon my garden, that the spices therof may flow out.

Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat its choice fruits.'

...only in Welsh, which is such a pretty language. Then I decided that... well, it was all about being there just for a fella huh?? And if you have a tattoo around your arm you're stuck with it. I think it's wise to get any design done in Henna or ink just so you live with it for a month or two and see if the novelty wears off. Only my opinion.

Anyway, I always planned to do an embroidery of a treeline like this, without the decorative stylised base. Still might one day??? Probably not. Damn! I missed my moment.

I Bought This Off Etsy

From Tigerluxe. She sent it right away and put a little present in (a tiny paint box set) which made me even happier. Lambie is a beautiful, larger than she looks. It's about 25cm long.

Happy Lamb La!. I've got three lambs now.

Thing is though, I signed up to Etsy to sell stuff! It happens (to me) all the time. I have sold one thing (a pattern that I then emailed as a PDF file which is a very modern thing to do) but it doesn't cover the cost of Lamb.

I showed my fella and I explained that it was an accident... I just went 'CLICK!' and it was done and he said Good on You! It had to be. Which is true and it wouldn't have mattered to me if he wasn't impressed but it's nice that he said that. Might because he's so incredibly SPENDY!!!

I'm Tuesday And So Is The Luvvy Dove

And a few other's besides. Grandma is Friday so I'll have to do that and then there's Mum...

It was hard to choose the colours. I'm onto another now... I need something to do at work in the down times. These curtains are going to have to be in the will. I think Sadie can inherit them, but we'll have to see. Of course if I die first then Ross can keep them so long as he knows who comes next. It's very complicated when you've both got kids (each) and what if I die now and he's old and he's lost touch with my lot in 30 years when he does?? What then huh?

Cheep Cheep From Spotters

Only $4 or was it $3? Thought I'd do a few of the old:

Monday's child is fair of face.
Tuesday's child is full of grace.
Wednesday's child is full of woe.
Thursday's child has far to go.
Friday's child is loving and giving.
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child who is born on the Sabbath day,

Is bonny and blithe and good and gay.

If you go over here to Kakorama, you'll be able to find your own or your Grandma's day. You've gotta love that bloke, too, and his dancing ways.

Just Set Up My Etsy Shop

Over here...

Even though you've probably seen most or all of it... there'll be more! Look out for impending period of rampant productivity.

Abundant rampant, in fact.

Manic rapacity? Rampanties?
