Something for me

It's been a difficult week. Baby Amy has her first tooth coming through and was additionally unsettled by her six month injections. Jack's experimenting with headbutting as a means of communication. I didn't get a job I really really wanted. I'm tired and impatient most of the time.

On the positive side, I made choc chip cookies with my beyoutifool Sunbeam Mixmaster and now love it even more. I used setting three - 'Mixing cookies and fruit cakes'. (Really should invest in the smaller size bowl though!) We had another photoshoot to celebrate.









And the thing that cheered me up the most was receiving a somewhat belated birthday present from my bestie.


I am the delighted possessor of two Yardage Design fabric packs, which are so lovely I can't bring myself to untie them. I've been trying to think of the perfect project to showcase these six lovely fabrics together. At the moment I'm leaning toward a pieced scarf, wantonly ripping off Two Cheese Please's rainbow scarf. But then maybe I should wait to get my hands on Nikki's nearly-here You Sew, Girl! book for more ideas. And waiting means I don't have to untie my little fabric parcels just yet.

Baby Amy's having her first nap of longer than 30 minutes all week, so forgive me for dashing away to take greater advantage of the semi-quiet time.
