This gallivant-y lifestyle I seem to have taken on lately has to stop. The nights out, the gallery openings, the rushed coffees after swimming, the "we must catch up before Armageddon" gatherings. I'm such a homebody at heart that if I don't spend some quiet time at home, barefoot and wedged between a potato patch and the nectarine tree, I feel very off-centre.
Secretly, I don't mind so much being a social type. It's just that I wish I could be both social and a homebody at the same time. Last night I managed just that, having friends over for takeaway noodles after our swim, finishing up with some of my stewed homegrown rhubarb. Yum.
Luckily this week the social calendar is looking a little quieter, which is just as well as I have some 00 onesies I'm frantically embroidering for my 7 week old nephew who I suspect won't be in 00 onesies for very long, given the tendency for tallness in our family.
And today I bought the last of the outer fabric and lining for the Four Seasons Yarn and Sack Club and it is just so lovely. If I get my act together, I'll be able to cut out a heap of bags before Glee comes on the telly tonight. From here on the One Hour of Sewing a Day regime kicks in.
I LOVE your choice of embroidered subject matter.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya...it is always that work thing that gets in the way of the balance between home and social life!
ReplyDeleteLove the leaf fabric - very nice! Sadly, my homelife is more interrupted in by the kids outings than my own.
ReplyDeleteOh I know what you mean about wanting to do it all at once! I am having an entire week of homelyness hehe! I love your fabric xxx
ReplyDeleteIf it helps, Connor has been in 00 for a couple of months now, so hopefully the onesies will last for a little while...but you never can tell with the babies!!
ReplyDeleteGreat, now I have "the ant and the grasshopper" in my head :-) I love that embroidery!
ReplyDeleteare they leaves or chillis? either way I love that print!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kate, loving the top print. :)
ReplyDelete...and loving the embroidery as well! Though I'm so tired today I didn't see exactly what it was at first! :o
I like the sound of a one-hour-a-day-sewing-regime! Thanks for your scissors review, I'm definitely thinking Fiskars at the moment!
ReplyDeleteThe embroidery is awesome! The greens look so good against the white onesie.
