Hi my friends!! How are you?? Is it Friday? my goodness...

I hope you have all had a better week than I. We are still out of action in the naughty household, and after a visit to the doctors late yesterday it looks like things may get a bit worse before they get better.  Dr Carr's diagnosis of a thumping earache (likely to perforate her eardrum...again...second time in a month!!) was very sad news. I am amazed at how little my small person complains.

I am feeling a bit better. I seem to have overcome my tummy bug only to wake up with swollen glands and a blocked nose - awesome.

I still have my energy back though - sort of at least - enough to certainly fit in a spot of sewing - when the small person allows it, of course. So I have set up back on the kitchen table - which is hilarious seeing as I stole the large farm table and put it in my studio. It now sits (covered in stuff to put away) in my sewing room, while I cram as much as I can onto the small table in my kitchen.

I thought to do something special for my little lady and make her a doll blanket. It only took me a couple of hours to make - but it was a big effort in the state I was in. I was so pleased when I wrapped it up to give to her. She promptly threw it on the floor and told me ' i dont want it' and had a little tantrum.

I have heaps of work to do - so I had better at least try to get some done. Thanks so much for all of the well wishes and love. You guys are the best.

I can sing a rainbow....
















It is hard to not be happy, when you have delicious multi-coloured, spaghetti like tendrils of vintage bias binding draped over your furniture...

But the truth is that I have been exhausted... drained... depleted...

But ANYWAY this isn't a pity party! And actually, I am writing to tell you how great I feel today :)

My mum-in-law has been looking after me... Did I mention that she was living with us right now?? She has put me on the multi-V's and some minerals and you know what? I think its working -
Hooray!

Today, I was on fire. I have almost finished 20 - that's right -TWENTY flippin' tea dresses this week... I am quite chuffed with myself.

There is actually much more I want to show you, but it can wait till tomorrow...

Mwah!

P.s - most of those dresses are available 'ready to ship' Take a peek at the shop or send me a message if you can't find the one you are interested in :)
