November...

I have started my apple dress today. Well...actually its nearly done, Its hanging for 24hours and then I will hem it up....Im not sure about it really, its a 1950's style...I'm just not positive I have chosen the right style...it could be the fabric too...

My secret project is coming along nicely too. Just had a good hour on the sewing machine doing it, my eyes were starting to wobble so have stopped now.

I am home alone (well, Little Who is in his cot) the two older boys are out, one at his nanas the other at a Stag do. I didn't think I would be all that concerned about it...in fact I was looking forward to a night alone to do some me stuff. But I have done that now, and now I am lonely. Sadly, this has highlighted to me how few friends I have in this area...or friends that are not tied down to children themselves and can't just pop over for a wine and a chat. I do miss that from my younger years. I was hardly ever alone (maybe sometimes still lonely...but NEVER alone). I am a bit more alone here in suburbia.
What makes things worse is the radio is playing songs from my younger years, song that those who were stopping me being alone listened to and danced to and drank to. Ahhh. Good times.

Wouldn't change much here really though. Tomorrow night I won't be alone...and next weekend I am off to the Hens night! Whoot!

November 2011

Apologies.

Anyway, I have been such a busy bean lately the old blog has been well neglected! Here is a quick run down of what I have been up to:
*Normal Mummy duties
*Presidenting (yeh thats a word) the breastfeeding support group/chartity that I...umm..President???
*Running a less than successful business...see it here: http://www.facebook.com/StrollSmartNZ things are slowely looking up with it....but some sales would be nice!
*Taking Neo to music and movement...which is now finished and there has been some good progress YAY.
*Gardening....it is spring...My garden looks choice now...all I need is for the cats to bugger off and it will be grand.
*Holidaying in the North.
*Sewing. YES I have actually found a wee bit of time to do some sewing! Who woulda thunk it!!
(a Dress, a Hat (see below), A flower, A fabric dollshouse...in progress AND a wee secret project that I will reveal mabe in December)

The hat on the left (thats probebly quite obvious) is the latest product of sunshine thinking.

I have been thinking to myself as I potter about doing all these amazing things, HOW do people actually find the time to blog??? REALLY? ESPECIALLY mothers! They must like have the computer with them ALL the time! Or a notebook or something!!! I often think of noteworthy things to write in the blog...but..well it just doesnt happen becuase something more important crops up!! Maybe the prolific bloggers out there do frequently what I do on a bad mummy day??? Do they just chuck their kiddos in front of the tv/dvd and write away???? surely not...because there are many prolific motherish bloggers out there whose children seem to be thriving...ahhh doesnt really matter does it!! just something that occurred to me. Blah blah ramble ramble. Goodnight.
