The last two weeks seem to have been dominated by the Bushfire Quilts – that’s fine, it was great fun and SO rewarding. (You can read other accounts of Saturday here and here also). But a few other things have been happening around here too – OK so not much cleaning but catching up on tax (and vowing not to get so behind again…..), netball (the Angels won by 1 goal after being behind by 6 at half time – all the parents are telling me it was the best game of the season – maybe they don’t need the coach there after all??) and gymnastics comps (both D2 and D3’s teams came first on the weekend – well done girls).
And thinking about Sewjourn. Bookings are fantastic – better than we could ever have hoped for in our first year and we LOVE that you love it. But it means that it’s getting more difficult for me to do all the cleaning myself. For quite a while my husband and a few friends have been hassling me to get someone to help out but it’s hard……….it’s got to be the right person, I’m pretty fussy and it’s got to be done properly! It’s not just the cleaning but I need someone who will do all the ‘special touches’ as well……..the beds need to be straightened properly, flowers, choccies…….we want it to have that ‘WOW’ factor when you arrive. So if you think YOU could be the person I’m looking for or know someone who might be interested please contact me here. (And even though I’m saying I’m fussy etc I really would be OK to work for!!!) We would be looking for someone fairly local to Lancefield.
Also thinking about planning a few workshops for next year. Kellie has already mentioned one on her blog which will hopefully be running early 2010. (For anyone who hasn’t seen Kellie’s work – it is exquisite -see below!)
If you have any other thoughts or ideas about what you would like to see offered please email me. On that note, I had a weekend of ‘Christmas in July’ workshops planned for this year (last year’s were lots of fun!) but since I’ve been so busy and the added fact that we now have a wedding on the Friday night they won’t be going ahead this year…….sorry to anyone who was hoping to come, this has been a hard decision but for once I just need to accept that I can’t do everything!…….I am certainly planning on doing it again next year. BUT the upside is that July 17-19 is NOW AVAILABLE FOR RENT!! Please email me soon if you are interested in booking this weekend as it is the only one available before December.
And today I had lunch with a friend from school – it was so lovely to catch up. Even though we don’t see each other that often we still seem to know each other well! She gave me these lovely coasters as a belated birthday present…….aren’t I lucky?
