if you knew susie...

whoosh and a few months disappear.

the eternal conundrum - how can so much, yet so little, be happening at the same time?
moving again, writing, a notice for jury duty (!), brain-busting thinking, almost missing a plane, procrastination, more banana bread then more writing.
the end is getting closer; there are many folks to thank and much to celebrate!

To celebrations of a more important kind: a present for a girl's most glamourous day (i hope i'm not spoiling the surprise for the bride-to-be - shh!).

A shiny first-aid kit to be filled with panadol, band-aids, bobby pins, mints, tissues etc to survive the big day..and perhaps to survive joining our happy family?

work in progress (green duck for luck).

The finished product...

lately...

does anyone else have that dizzying uh-oh-everything-is-happening-at-once feeling?
and where did the last 11 months and 5 days go?
i'm asking santa for a big wallop of time, thanks very much!

in between my poor attempts to make up for all that lost time, i've been enjoying my sis' herb garden - looking rather chipper below - and loved Royal Crown Revue at the Corner last week.

the akira fabrics are from his recent annual sale at the gpo. it was fascinating to watch a room of women very politely, but very firmly, pushing and shoving towards boxes of trims and racks of beautiful dresses. the man himself patiently refolded his clothes and chatted to punters about their weddings or how to use his threads.
now what to do with my stash?

it's a good life...
