Give me a home among the gum trees
With lots of plum trees
A sheep or two, a kangaroo
A clothesline out the back
Verandah out the front
And an old rocking chair
I know it's only Wednesday but I'm already in weekend mode.
That's because:
- my weekend starts at 5pm today. Seriously loud YIPPEE!
- on Friday I'm going to Sewjourn with some really fab peeps for 3 days of crafty goodness.
- i'm going to spend the days leading up to the weekend planning and preparing, cooking, baking, watching Le Tour and generally relaxing and unwinding.
After realising that I can't do it all, and realising just how much I really was trying to shove into my days, I spent some time taking stock. The to do list is looking much more sensible, my outlook is a whole lot rosier and the stress levels are far more manageable.
And on that note, I'm unplugging for a few days. I'll be back next week sometime.
Just in time to start counting the sleeps till my exhibition opening night!
See you soon.
Have a wonderful time! It sounds like a great retreat before the business of preparing for exhibition night.
ReplyDeleteyes happy times to you!!
ReplyDeleteGlorius to see there is light at the end of the tunnel. Sewjourn will be soup for your soul I thinks...
ReplyDeleteI keep meaning to pop you a line to say I'd love to help out for your exhibition. I'll be there with bells on for sure, but if you need extra hands on deck for putting red stickers beside all the sold items or handing out stuff, let me know ( :
LOVE the new blog banner! Sorry, but the old one used to remind me of a 'panty liner', and do you know how much I hate the word 'panty'?
