Its a bit of a catchup....
So its school holidays. I can't believe its Friday already. We are all struggling to get rid of the last of the flu.
So I've been doing some secret sewing....all for the QFD Christmas In July event - its the second year and its bound to be so much fun. Yes, they are sequins you see!!!
A big surprise for me too.... Sarah emailed me today to say that she had given Kim Archer the go ahead to use one of my projects for her new magazine. Thank you Sarah! Thank you Kim! So here it is - my ballet bag is a featured CUTE tutorial !! This was my first project for the Creative Team at QFD and still one of my favourites.
And a recent snap of the kids. I can't remember if I updated the blog about Scotts eyes but as you can see, he is sporting glasses these days (and looking very cute in them too). He has extremely poor vision in his left eye and was by fluke that we discovered it at a optometrist appointment. They have their Prep screen this coming month at school, so we would have been 3 months behind on everything. I can't stress enough to everyone to have your childrens eyes tested before they go to Kindy or school. The earlier you catch problems, the better. Basically the vision in Scotts eye didn't develop from birth and so he never knew any different. And neither did we. This is a boy how is as rough and tumble as they come, has fabulous hand-eye coordination and a natural sporting child. So who knew! So anywho, we are going through the next 3 months, patching the 'good' eye for 4 hours a day to force the 'weak' eye to work and for the brain to get it to focus better. We go back to the opthamologist in August for a review. I'm hoping that there is an improvement. Boy the patches are expensive but have no fear, I've already made up a great little template and a system for making our own patches LOL. They have to be the adhesive type so he can't peek out.

I plan to spend a day in the kitchen next week, making freezer meals to get me through the next term at school. My kids have another week off school and my parents are flying from Broome to be here with them. I'm excited to see them again. Oh and it looks like we will be having a hot Christmas this year, with plans to fly up for a week and stay with my parents. I am hoping I will get a day or two to catch up with all my friends who I miss sooooo much!
