There's nothing more relaxing than being able to sit at my sewing machine and make something (undisturbed).  A couple of weekends ago I was able to do just that, and made a cute pair of baby yoga pants from the Meet me at Mikes book.  Such a great simple pattern which I was able to complete in about an hour.  Hope you like them.....

My Space

I now have my own room after re-arranging the childrens bedrooms for all my sewing, crafting, blogging and escaping. 

Now all I need is more hours in the day to get creative.

Having one of those days with plenty of mummy meltdowns, I was pleasantly suprised when I recieved my fabric from SewMamaSew.  It came beautifully wrapped with a thank you card attached.  The quality of the fabric is amazing and the designs are better than pictured.  So glad this arrived today, it's definetely what I needed.

My fabric stash is beginning to look very impressive.

A little jealous would have been an understatement when yesterday we helped friends move into their new home.  Such a fantastic place to raise children, with its beautiful outlook over the mountains.  Perfect sunny weather, fresh air and the smell of new paint made me realise that this is what I want for my family.  For the boys to be able to play outside, climb trees and explore would be a dream.  I have to remind myself that good things come to those that wait.

While I don't think we were spoilt for choice in yesterdays election, we sure were spoilt by our surroundings when we went to visit family holidaying in redcliffe.  A beautiful walk along the bay with my camera in hand snapping pictures of anything that caught my eye.  How I love going to places I have never been.

This space has been very neglected lately because of sick children. Hopefully now after many rounds of antibiotics they are on the mend and I can start blogging again.  My children have been sick for so long now that I am anticipating the night where I don't get woken up before the sun rises.  Unlikely, but I can dream.....

My 'smaller version of myself mission' has been a bit of a flop this past week, but hopefully I can get into the groove again.

I am really looking forward to blogging again because I have a new addition. HERE

Till next time........

The scales don't lie!!!

After initially weighing myself and nearly having a heart attack at the number that appeared before me, my first week on my mission of becoming a lesser version of myself has gone to plan.  With only a few slip ups i've managed to loose 1.7kg.

So here's to another week of saying no to small pieces of chocolate heaven known as brownies.  Oh how I miss you.
