Confession 1/1
*updated with pic*
Once again I am frustrated with getting a post up.... I can't get anything to work except maybe this text? I have now typed out three posts and had them disappear ... now I can't even get images to show up?? I wrote all this fun stuff about what I had been up to over the last week ... wedding... my birthday... sewing all my scraps of fabric together (that is my confession right there: I keep all my scraps in hope that one day I can use them for something really fun and creative??) Now I am cranky and think a glass of vino (or maybe even gin) and the TV are a far better option. sorry. I will try and get this all happening tomorrow so that I can once again share my crafting adventures....Sadly I may have to face facts and finally say goodbye to my friendly G3 and boot up the laptop :(
ooh how could I forget!! My dearest friend, button.squarespace.com (Christy, sorry I can't bare to try and link anything right now) is moving to Brisbane... Yes I cried... lots... we have been through three, YES 3! university degrees TOGETHER (not to mention years and years of wonderful adventures) and now she is going to leave me.... She has tried to soften the blow with a very generous birthday gift ... AN OVERLOCKER... I am pretty excited about the prospect of sewing up some funky clothes... maybe a shirt would be a nice start? I have to figure out how to use it first...
A side note: I got to use two of my "Good deeds" note cards on Friday... 1. The lovely guy who runs a catering business (bakes up a storm for the Queen & Duthy Street Cafe's) next door to me, (at the shop) emptyed all my bins for me... twice! now that is a good deed. I hate emptying the bin. 2. Our friendly (but somewhat unknown) neighbours dropped off a huge bag of the most delicious big lemony lemons... YUM
Just what I need right now for that gin, a slice of lemon. Cheers.
Ooh, I know the feeling. It's better to have a glass of gin or vino (or both!) and relax and let the worries ooze away than stay cranky all night.

Happy Birthday! An overlocker... very cool! My G3 imac finally kicked the bucket late last year, too. Very frustrating how quickly computers age.

Happy Birthday!!!! What's an overlocker? I keep all my scraps as well, and I mean ALL! Fabric, paper, bits of this and that. I'm really running out of places to store it, but I keep thinking I'll work with (and use up) every bit during days off, then I sleep away my good intentions.

Happy Birthday :) and I feel your pain!
You'll just have to come to Brisbane to visit Christy :) It is such a nice place;)

so sad when a good friend moves away- but I'm sure you'll both be finding excuses for visits, and making good use of the net.
And I'm sure you'll be able to make good use of your overlocker!
Cheers :) (and I must confess, I keep all my little scraps too...)
