Legs have sprouted

I do believe I'm back! I missed you all heaps......but that busy-ness I spoke about. Well, it's now grown some legs. Translated from gibberish, I had been running Project Getajob during nap times these past few weeks. Cos' as much as I adore being around the kiddo all day long, I'm feeling the need to hold some occasional intelligent conversation and try to resurrect my career from whatever pit it sank to. And some of you will know about the skyrocketing cost of living here in Sydney-town. The extra dosh will definitely get me that much closer to adding some more Liberty fabric into the stash. (must get some of that kingly cord....not to mention more yarn)

I'm actually looking forward to being groomed and snappily dressed again. First, I'll need some practice.


For now I've allowed myself to chill and craft while I play the waiting game for the (hopefully good) news. Just a few more days.

Meanwhile, I've been making practice crochet swatches and another pair of trousers for the kiddo. (she's sprouting too!) In fact, I'm quite please with this pair. Cos' lookee, lookee!


Beautiful piped side seams! I finally conquered the piping.....woohoo!


And that duck egg Amy Butler fabric is proving very versatile. This one's matched with a japanese twill novelty print.

Thank you also for your lovely comments about the crocheted scarves from my last post. Apologies! I've become somewhat apathetic about responding, but now you know why. My mind was definitely somewhere else. I'll try to get back to everyone this evening.

Cheerio!
