And here it is!

Yesterday I promised you a more personal post. Well one thing led to another and it never got done, but don't stress - I'm here now!

Here is my Wednesday - 'On my desk...' Friday post for you, I'm slack like that sometimes....

This has been on my desk for a few days now so I'm not cheating...it was there Wednesday too! The fabric on the machine is Zach's mostly finished shorts. I just have to hem them and add elastic. The fabric in front is for Anna's shorts - isn't it just great! They are cut out and half pinned so we will be getting to them today - shortly.

Later on I will be making this...

I really can't wait! My mouth is watering just thinking about it! I'll get you some photos and the recipe when I'm done - are you excited?!

But for now I will be sitting for a moment enjoying this...

Ashlee gave it to me one year for my birthday (? - maybe Christmas, I'm hopeless today!) and I just love it! My little 'tea for one' set complete with a chocolate cake tea strainer - Oh I'm really hungry now!

And also......you know that fabric shelf in my office craft cupboard I showed you before?! Well I cleaned it up the other day, looks a lot better now.

Better back in second...I have been awarded!!!

On my desk...

See these....


I spend an unbelievable amount of time during the day picking them up! If they are at the table, I'm picking them up off the floor. If they are in the pram, I'm picking them up off the ground - it is really starting to bug me....

So today's plan....

See these....

I'm going to use them in conjunction with this....

And make some tethers to attach them to either the highchairs or the pram - Problem solved!

Oh I'm so happy!! hehehehe

I also REALLY need to do something with this. I picked it up ages ago really cheap and it has been sitting in the office ever since! (It has hooks on it too)

To check out more "On my desk..." 's (make sense?!) head on over to here! Thank you to the lovely Kootoyoo for hosting!

Formerly - On my desk....On a Wednesday (on thursday night!)


I was going to do a 'On my desk' post but I haven't taken photos and things have been a bit hectic here so there are many things on my desk, most were there last week too! I have no intentions of getting to any of them before the weekend (but of course if I get a spare minute I will!). I need to catch up on the washing (mostly done today but now I have 3 baskets of washing to fold!), get all that put away, change all the sheets, VACUUM! - that is a top priority at the moment, re-organise the sewing room/craft room/study as I took a fair bit stuff with me to Canberra and most of it go dumped in there at 7pm when I arrived home. I also need to make some calls regarding Zach and Anna and sort out some paper work. In between that and the kids I don't think any sewing is going to happen before at least Saturday. I do have some lovely fabrics that i picked up in Canberra to show you and I have managed to sew a few pairs of shorts for Zach and Anna, matching ones at that! So I will get some photos together ASAP. (You are all probably thinking well if you have time to blog why not sew?! - the answer to that is, small house, crappy thin walls, Twins, Mitchell and Brett sleeping. Not really a great combination for the sewing machine.)

I did get a call from Dr Lowe's rooms today and at this stage our appointment with him to discuss Botox and/or Serial Leg Plastering is on January 30th. She is trying to get us in before the end of the year if that is at all possible though and that would great - who really likes waiting for things like this?!

Better run and get some of this washing folded and some lunches made for tomorrow. 11am till about 2pm is going to be heaven! Brett at work, Ashlee at school, Mitchell at Pre-School and Zach and Anna sleeping!


P.S I was also going to catch up on my 'This is' post too but I think I might just leave it and come back next week for that!

On my desk ..... On a Wednesday! AND OMG - 100 POSTS!

Today I have a few things going on.....

There will be time spent finishing these off....

Zach's dungarees. Just need to sew the buttons on and snap up the crutch.

Some pattern cutting of this

Unfortunately I have to do a little of this....

Opening up the under arms a bit on Brett's new (well used and washed once) work overalls before tonight as he will need them to take with him tomorrow to grease his truck.

Probably a little bit of this too

Photo editing - addicted at the moment. Also need to print out a few photos to send off to family

And definitely a little of this

Blogging of course!
