Oh yes coffee can be a lifesaver! At the moment the pets are training me not to sleep – four times last night!
I generally sleep well and get to sleep fairly fast but living with a husband who likes noise all the time, it can be draining when you wake in the middle of the night to an infomercial or the big bang theory on repeat! I dont feel rested…[Read more]

I often leave the darts out of the front of my skirts and trousers as I have a round tummy.

Funny, I think of myself as a great sleeper, even though I wake several times a night, every night (and think this is why I remember so many dreams). I think what I’m doing that makes me think I’m a good sleeper is that I stay very relaxed and drowsy. Alcohol knocks me out but it’s awful, unrefreshing sleep. Interesting what kind of sleep feels…[Read more]

Thanks Ladies!
I will have a play after Christmas.
I pretty much live in linen tunics but I don’t like ‘tent-like’ tops. Too dangerous cooking if nothing else.
I liked the way it gave fullness from the bust down.

Yes!

Oh no Sarvi, what a pain!

My baby is growing too fast, I just lay her on my bed after changing her and she rolled over and pushed herself up on her hands, in a bulky cloth nappy!

My others have all been ‘late’ babies. Late to roll, crawl or walk. I really hope she is not the exception…..

Wow, @scgoble, that must be tough. I must admit I am not good at getting to bed. I rarely go to bed before 11pm and I am often up at 6am but I do grab a 10 minute Nana nap whenever I can.

I envy those that go to bed and fall asleep quickly, it takes me at least an hour.

I just wanted to jump in here and say that I’ve probably never slept through the night without being medicated. I’m just not a good sleeper. I didn’t sleep when I was a kid either; I was always worried about one thing or another. Fortunately for my parents I was also a very stoic child so I never got up and bothered them. 😉

Anywho, have you…[Read more]

Tamara, it will be handmade, hand smocked and one of a kind! I’m looking forward to seeing that jacket 🙂

I managed to work around my shortened shirring and it’s just fine 🙂 I’ve got one seam left to go on the bodice, and it’s looking fantastic!
I finally worked out how to get the look of the skirt I wanted and have it reasonably twirly.…[Read more]
