<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm trying really, really hard to remain monogamous. Look what happens in a couple of weeks when you manage to stick it out!! Let's see how long I can keep it up for. TML is my all time favourite yarn, so this wasn't that hard. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've been slogging away at the final round of assignments for my teaching units. It never really seems to get any easier......I just can't seem to find enough hours in the day to add study to my list along with work, home duties and the needs the of the kidlets (not to mention the bus service that I seem to run after school!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Anyhow, that's quite enough complaining. I've made a bit of progress on the Agnes and I have a lovely little book to read and dream about all the other projects I'm going to make when I have some more of the above mentioned time. This little book by Mel Clark is a real cutie. You can catch some more pictures and info over at her <a href="http://slipslipknit.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Well, I'd better stop procrastinating and stick my head back into the books. If you feel like a cup of tea or coffee and a delicious treat to go with it, head on over to <a href="http://typicallyred.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Greer's</a>.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I had a pretty lousy mother's day from the perspective of being slayed by the flu, but also very, very special at the same time. The teenager had bought a scrapbook with sections to fill out with thoughts and comments about your's truly. I think I will treasure this book forever. She had me in tears with the poem she wrote on page one!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The "report" section was hilarious, with both girls contributing some very observant comments. The all time favourite had to be the "A" for "Creativity". The accompanying comment read, "is very creative and always making things, particularly knitting. However, she may like to consider finishing a project before she starts another".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">With all the grunting, huffing and door closed moments that seem to accompany these teenage years, it can be easy to loose sight of how much they do still love and need you. As she so touchingly said, "I thank you for encouraging me in everything I do and want to make you proud of me".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So after a breakfast of smoked salmon and eggs, I decided it was too hard to move from my bed that day and stayed there until lunchtime. It feels like a very long time since I've allowed myself to do that. My eyes hurt too much to read and my fingers were twiddling. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I had an early mother's day gift when this arrived in the mail today.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We had a real burst of cold weather a couple of weeks ago, which coupled with the central heating controller going awol, had me a bit panicked. I thought we'd never make it through the winter and the woolly jumpers were either too small or had seen better days. A trawl through <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/agnes-9" target="_blank">ravelry</a> provided the answer. Unable to decide, I totally splurged on one ....</span></div>

The needs of children have seemed to take all my spare time. It's not a resentment on my behalf, more just an acknowledgement that sometimes you just have to down tools and be there for them. Especially when they are going through some personal struggles. Growing up isn't any easier for them it seems, than it was for me. Same issues.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">To top that little chapter of life off, I have inched closer to some sort of maturity myself. Another birthday celebrated on Saturday. Yes, I am a true Spring baby. Spring sends me dizzy with excitement. Warm breezes and little wonders of the garden popping up out of hibernation every day. Less layers of clothes. More daylight. Energy.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">I woke up to the rain and lay in bed looking at gentle light and mist. Beautiful girls clambered onto my bed in excitement to watch me unwrap presents. So much thought and care went into their choices. Thank you my love for the beautiful gift of so many stories that I can carry everywhere in my Kindle. I will never be without a book. Bliss.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Coffee and cake at Sturt Cafe and a trip past this tree to the gallery, to look at the work of talented artisans.

I initially made ground sweeping beauties from Ikea Aina linen panels, unpicked and sewn with a hand pleated heading and a border of Designers Guild fabric that I had carried around for over 10 years. Finally, as I was about to pass this fabric on, I realised it was a perfect for our bedroom. The beautiful cobalt blue giving the donkey coloured walls that little touch of excitement. The two linens met remarkably well and all was happy.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Unfortunately, we somehow managed to trip over the folds and an inconveniently placed heating vent was cause for a fire hazard. So, I decided they needed to be raised. Like so many great ideas, the execution takes so much longer than the thought.....</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">The panels have been removed, (unpicking taking ages!), the curtains shortened and now they have to be re-attached with the trim on top. So close to the end.

A good friend offered to have the children and our hotel was gratis. So, I spent a lovely sunny Saturday afternoon wandering around Surry Hills. These shots are the window display at paper2. Isn't it beautiful?<br /><br />I loved paper dolls as a child and spent hours cutting out the clothes and swapping them around. No, I didn't puchase any of these, but what lovely eye candy.<br /><br />The Victorian looking Alice in Wonderland characters are my favourite.</p>mosswoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17043104626770695633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3712945670186086023.post-78397823358108412062010-08-09T06:48:00.005+10:002010-08-09T07:10:34.915+10:00voila!<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcmQd88yGL5R1jB4eZ9Pn4Lx_5jnFPn6jCWwXuvK68l4EmvPvMB2EWL0tE5s6I2SQX96HfTij-3SmE-rAyomMSR5fTEDd9LbdvnvQbS5hGN4-bTJ9DI27-ydf85bd16V3Nlx_yueBzxmpd/s1600/suzclose.jpg"></a><div>"I want to make you this dress", I said.<div>The little one replied, "only if I can choose my own fabric".</div><div>So we searched through the cupboard and this was what she chose.</div><div>In many ways it couldn't be a more obvious choice, and yet it is so perfect.</div><div>The end of roll piece I picked up some time ago when on sale.</div><div>Sweet Suzanne is now complete.</div><div>Just waiting for sun to shine so we can go out to play.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH8AlqHaSQFsuVs4mIAcQhJiJiK8K0JQX8Tv7PDnxwMM3HiePPdcQNmChafmvyqyTo9yTOjo9mWQrSWJLSMmT4UIpvYkacal0DKyLh0lwB2T4Z8iD5QRHtMB-7WSyJeYjhxlEva_sP9tTJ/s1600/Suzanne.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 230px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH8AlqHaSQFsuVs4mIAcQhJiJiK8K0JQX8Tv7PDnxwMM3HiePPdcQNmChafmvyqyTo9yTOjo9mWQrSWJLSMmT4UIpvYkacal0DKyLh0lwB2T4Z8iD5QRHtMB-7WSyJeYjhxlEva_sP9tTJ/s320/Suzanne.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503146536593688546" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcmQd88yGL5R1jB4eZ9Pn4Lx_5jnFPn6jCWwXuvK68l4EmvPvMB2EWL0tE5s6I2SQX96HfTij-3SmE-rAyomMSR5fTEDd9LbdvnvQbS5hGN4-bTJ9DI27-ydf85bd16V3Nlx_yueBzxmpd/s320/suzclose.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503147824684642418" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 218px; " /></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div>mosswoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17043104626770695633noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3712945670186086023.post-17318794611153452832010-08-05T21:41:00.004+10:002010-08-06T07:26:10.266+10:00the smocks.....<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirjud8QigyNpaYs5GWnjU1r-M-_z49iJ7rgcR0zGRoF2HM5vfapCu1sFHmTds3m5wlK6yN_ZNIaNQQiBmAJSokEx7zDm2xsP1Brxh-QBhIerMISYH2mN6Dast3j1OJRiNHyc80F4ar3RlH/s1600/cit.jpg"></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEintsXAQHEaPYcEu8ipk5RQNuMLHT5ban1sLqXF8n_xRmOUZMHXrqbS-uHuaobrt3gk9tmeSJbP6ydp1OpEZtNTPmvdeNkZRmI2UJ80BeldOyNnEjFM5vm4ZekORiMAcDwu-LXX5u_plZGi/s1600/citronille.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEintsXAQHEaPYcEu8ipk5RQNuMLHT5ban1sLqXF8n_xRmOUZMHXrqbS-uHuaobrt3gk9tmeSJbP6ydp1OpEZtNTPmvdeNkZRmI2UJ80BeldOyNnEjFM5vm4ZekORiMAcDwu-LXX5u_plZGi/s320/citronille.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501890400574327682" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">What is so seductive about these sweet little patterns?
