A lot of my time at the moment is spent sitting in the car...waiting! Waiting for school to end. Waiting outside cubs or scouts. Waiting outside a house for a play date to finish. Waiting for band practise to end. Waiting for the Christmas show rehearsals to end... you get the picture...
It just seems to be such a lot of time is wasted at this time of year with all the preparations for Christmas. We all do it - I see Moms and Dads all waiting... Its hectic and we have only just begun the madness of the run up to Christmas. But to be there to watch each event, to know the children are safe, to know that it is part of their education, learning to communicate to participate, its all part of being 'MOM". I am thankful that I can be there for them, its not easy working from home and no one to share the duties with but the upside is I get to be there for my boys. Only sometimes my head is so full of things...the other day I drove right past school and my littlest one shouted 'MOM SCHOOL!!!' I was so busy thinking of my next appointment I drove to it and forgot school...GUILT!
In between all the 'Christmas run up Mom duties' I sit at my machine and happily sew...package up and pop to the post office. They know me in the post office now, they usually give my parcels a little squish to release the lavender fragrance within. It makes me smile!
I have had a little break from all the Christmas red and gold and spent a little time on a gentler shades.
My sketch book this weekend has been scribbled in and I need to spend a little time on 'colour' this week as I start my design for SPRING!!! Kinda excited...
So lovely to see you hadn't given up on me, lovely comments and emails from some special people, I thank you, it warms my heart! Have a super week and see you next week...

I'm glad that you can work from home and be there for your boys. Such cute little pillows. Spring? I know you have to work ahead but that seems like ages away. Hope you have fun getting ready for the holidays. xo
I love them! Where do you get your bobble trim from, I really want some! :)
Love what you create! Yeah, I hated waiting at school to get my boys, especially after to short sleeping. I was a single mom too, having a job as a night nurse. But working at home isn't easy to, I suppose it can be difficult when your kids ask attention and you have to work. Groetjes, Gerda
So pretty, a good way to spend extra time, I think!!
