Busy mess, business, a workshop and a little rest....oh, and a book.

I haven't seen much of my table tops this week. Between obsessive pattern development and daily crisis-management, there wasn't much time to clear space. The days were not long enough.

My brain has felt pretty similar - full of things started and then set down while I run off to do the next last-minute thing..... things left lying about, ready to pick up again at the next available multi-tasking opportunity.
All the time, the situation in Japan has been on my mind. I can't imagine the grief, fear and everyday hardships that have befallen the people of Japan and I desperately want to help. The situaton at the nuclear power station has also been deeply concerning, on many levels.

But somehow, any sort of fundraising effort failed to happen in my week, despite my daily crises being trifles compared with theirs. It's a priorority for this coming week. Watch this space.

Strangely, the intensely busy Bag In A Day workshop was like a little island of calm for me. To focus on one thing (even if that one thing was several different bags) was a bit of a treat.

Even more of a treat, was meeting a great bunch of sewing gals who'd come in from Adelaide, Western Australia, Bendigo, Geelong and (all the way from) Brunswick, who made fabulous bags and were great company for the day. Thanks, girls!

After class, Lara popped in. We sat, had a chat, ate twice as much camembert as we ought, and looked through my advance copy** of Le Book....which arrived on Friday.

And so... another week begins. With a few doors closed behind me and a clear path in front, hopefully.

At least the table tops are clear.

**The book is due for release in May. Don't worry - I'll let you know when it's available for purchase!!
