Thanks to the incredibly attractive ladies at Prints Charming in Annandale (www.printscharming.com.au), I took receipt of a fabulous care package just before Christmas. In it are enough sewing and embroidery projects to keep me busy by my fireside for months, and it is there you will find me, bifocals firmly wedged halfway along my slender (some say Romanesque) nose making door hangers/festive decorations and cushions. Here are 3 I've done so far (I've already given others away as gifts), the cushion completed today thanks to my totally brilliant, Santa-delivered, sewing machine. Aside from my handiwork, today was also special because Scarlett started at her new school. Once again it was I, rather than Scarlett, that shed a tear as we parted in the unfamilar corridors of Robsack Wood community primary school. She burst through the front door this afternoon with news of new friends, fun lessons and a desire to return tomorrow. Not bad considering she had to be pumped full of Panadol this morning to bring down her raging fever. Also burning up big time today was Flo who has croup and is keeping us up at night with her uncanny bullseal impersonations. They both remain in high spirits however and as yet Rob and I have not succumbed to their lovely new British germs. We spent the early evening before the kids' bathtime in front of the fire playing the brilliant new card game (delivered for Christmas from Uncle Brett from his holiday in San Francisco) Rat-A-Tat Cat. It took some explaining - it is a Mensa- rated game - and was almost as much fun as Trading Pit. Almost.
