And now back to that post...

 Intentions to post don't result in a post...that I have discovered as time has spun by. I keep thinking about posting, but other issues have been more pressing . But I knew it was getting a bit too long when SB emailed and asked when I was posting again. OOPS! It must have been a bit long between posts. So here we go!

What has been happening...the study remains all consuming, but this semester will end late next month so there will be a break. House planning is still occurring...some work should start soon on leveling floors.

But there has been some fun too. A trip with my family to the Royal Easter show in Sydney was very exciting indeed. Obviously I didn't realise that we were wearing blue that day...I was in OMG we-have-lost-Mum-orange! I think they wanted me to have a lost child ID bracelet too- just in case.

Initially ambivalent about going, I was thrilled to be there... lots of fun looking at exhibits,

 cakes, wood chopping and even a ride on the Ferris Wheel (it was as much fun as I remembered).

Little time or urge to sew, I think there are cobwebs in the sewing room!

 I finished the clamshells from GDITC, but I am not sure if I will make them into a hussif. So at present they are waiting for inspiration...cushion perhaps??

A little quiet cross stitch at night...it is relaxing, perhaps the repetition is soothing for my jangled brain.

And just for Loz...some binding machined on today...aren't you proud?

The best laid plans!

Autumn is on it's way..it is getting a little cooler at night (though it was still 30C here today)...and so those pesky mice are trying to come inside. I had planned on stitching, study & weeding for the weekend...all worked out....or so I thought! In my linen press there were signs of little mousy visitors...so the megawash & clean began...and then Saturday was gone! The only plus is a beautifully clean & tidy laundry & linen press!

Some stitching today....an Easter bag for a big boy (from an Anni Downs pattern)...

Brocante...the next Le Petite project in French General!

Now it is raining....but here is a real sign of cooler weather ahead.

Easter greetings!

Happy Easter from my house to yours!

Goodie bags for Mum & children...

I need to go chocolate free...so DD gave me this gorgeous egg...

and DH sent me beautiful flowers!

One lucky girl...and I am ploughing through that stitching too!
