Let in from the wilderness...

Well thats how it feels!  For months now Ive been building posts in my mind to share, following my favourite blogs, finding new ones and not being able to post a comment or share them with you.
And now Im back, soo many things Ive missed to post about...small & big.

How easy will it be to remember it all? Impossible I think, I can barely remember pin numbers, passwords or childrens names. 
I know what will happen, at some late hour I'll wake for Fonzy and think 'oh that reminds me, I must tell someone about this that or the other'

Quite a few crafty blogs have passed me by, various trousers have been made, worn & loved.  A couple of the most gorgeous dresses have made their way off the sewing machine and are fast becoming favourites for Lilly to wear.

The most wonderful mama gave us a beautiful if somewhat worn wardrobe, which is to become #1's.  She saw it and thought it lovely, it's undergoing a bit of a transformation, several licks of paint and some very pretty pink gingham fabric...all will be revealed (hopefully very soon)

We didnt get Lilly into our chosen school, we are out of catchment but all of the older ones went there and in truth I wouldnt have her go anywhere else.  She's on the waiting list and who knows someone may be mad enough to decline their place.  But we're not counting on this and plans are afoot to home ed Lilly for a year and see if we can get her in on next years allocations - providing of course that we want to send her to school after a year at home?!

Clothie Bots my lovely little nappy business is up for sale, I hope to find someone to take the reins and move it forward in a way that Ive not had time or energy to do.

Crafty projects on the waiting list include; to finish the wardrobe, make Fonzy a few more pairs of trousers (MUCH more to come on these), a couple more dresses for Lilly and I can hardly believe Im saying this but Christmas gifts  Mucho mucho DIY is waiting to be done, garden needs a...not sure what it needs but it does need something!
I've admitted defeat and put away my knitting needles, sold my last few yarns and filed the few patterns I had away for another generation to make use of...I never was nor will be a knitter.

Thankfully the Car Boot season has arrived, Im loving the bargains we're picking up, the upcycling and the storing away for another season.

Ack so much to tell you but enough for now, I can I think promise to try harder...our PC has crashed & died and I am on borrowed time on #3's netbook but despite all that I am sure I will try harder :)
