{Sewing} bodging a kirtle to a state that Big can wear it to kentwell this weekend. Learning to machine sew French seams. Making sleeves of a new shift too small.

{Watching} the lorax with the younger three, as Tim and Big were out at a swim gala.

{Negotiating} penalties for repeated napkin offences.

{Enjoying} taking photographs. Mainly to be found on Streamzoo.

{Continuing} in the never ending battle against clutter.

{Snapshots} Big has sewn her first coif. Small did an excellent drawing of a Dr Seuss humming fish. Smallest has had some great new books this week and Tigerboy appears to be specialising in cute. I’m fairly sure we’re getting signs from him, I think I’ve seen food.

I’ve had my first article published in a mumsnet bloggers how to series and I’m working on novel plans.
