I work from home and space here is very limited. 

I work on my kitchen table and pack away everything before picking up the kids from school. 

It was time to do a lounge room redesign and reclaim some more space. 

It may sound strange, but this cupboard has changed my life!

And thanks to Dad for helping me (doing most of it) put them together.

Nothing more than clearing out the photos from my camera. The top picture is my first attempt at making up a doily. I think the photo captures the point at which I gave up...

An existing design in a new colour. Wishing I had time to sew something from this tonight, but packing for a market tomorrow comes first.

homespun

The latest issue of Australian Homespun magazine features one of my projects. The brief: something pink. Well, I had to laugh. I am not a pink type of girl. But did have just the fabric for such a project!

saturday prints

One morning. One friend. One clown car and a few purchases.

getting ready

Another market is on this weekend. My local school. It was washed out last time, so hoping this one will go ahead. It's time for doll stuffing and owl brooch making. A good distraction from my life today. I made a big mistake last night. I spent time with someone who doesn't think very highly of me and engaged in a lengthy conversation that has knocked me about emotionally. Spending a day kicking myself and hoping tomorrow will be better. A morning of crafting with some friends stopped me from wallowing in self pity! Thankful for craft and good friends that can fill the morning with uplifting conversations.

birds

Today included a trip to the printer, a visit to my parent's place and then a tiny bit of sewing with an old favourite print (mollybirds).
