A funny conversation this morning....

Man of the house: "So.... this evening....?"
Me: "I'm off to Sewjourn. I'll be back sometime Sunday afternoon".
Man of the House: "What...?" (Looks totally bewildered)

(...and he says he listens to me?)

So I'm off with my other true love for the weekend. Seeya Sunday.

Everyone should do it...

Leave your family/pets to fend for themselves. Leave the housework and any other responsibilities behind and have a sewing weekend with a gang of great sewing gals. Eat lots of chocolate. Drink and sew and laugh. Sing and dance and scream with laughter again and sew a bit more and stay up too late and make lots of mess and talk a lot and sew a bit more and laugh and be inspired and sew and laugh and sew and laugh....

It's good for the soul. It's also astounding how much sewing you'll get done.

Thanks to Annie, Lara, Jodie, Kathryn, Rachel, Emma and Megan for letting me jump on your getaway bandwagon and for being such fabulous company.

I'm waiting for my man....

Soon I'll be heading off to Sewjourn for the weekend with a group (gaggle?) of lovely crafty types... Woo hoo!


I'm just waiting at my studio for the man of the house to come and pick up his daughter - so I can take my over-burdened little car up the Tullamarine Freeway and sew the weekend away. Apparently a gang of gals has already sewn up a storm there this afteroon.

I'm getting restless.... and... ummm... wrapped in sticky tape.
