The blog suffers from a lack of light, colour and inspiration whilst Kirsty does grown-up things.

Does colour coding the paperwork COUNT toward actually 'doing' the paperwork, hmmmmm..... ?

I was feeling French today...

I couldn't work out, why i was feeling French today?
I just felt all continental and have had to fight the urge to speak in a pathetic stereotypical French accent alll day.
But i think i managed to trace it back to that croissant i had for breakfast...

So, i shall work backwards... this is me pondering the last few button shots i had to do today. I wanted to get them listed in the shops and then get back to a bit of sewing for a change.
This is the table cloth i made today...

A table cloth obviously isn't 'Rocket Science' of the sewing world but i was super happy with it. It looks very 'al fresco' and, even though i know enough to realise that is 'Italian speak' i still felt French.

I made this bunting yesterday and listed it today.

It is grown-up and quite chintzy YET with a hint of a 'Chateaux' (spelling?) so again, you see I have been feeling French!?

I listed this elephant and for some reason I am convinced he ran away from a nasty circus RingMaster who just happend to be.... yes, you guessed it - French!

Last of the new buttons - listed in BigFish - Limited Edition, only 9 packets.

And these Chunky Mothers - again limited edition... nothing at all to do with feeling French but I am telling you what i did today...

And then, with all this 'French-ness' going on around me i remembered!

I went to ASDA this morning to do some food shopping (most hated task) Anyway, ASDA is nowhere near me.... i had to drive out a way.... but ASDA is next door to IKEA!!

And, when i accidentally took a wrong turn into IKEA before ASDA (an e a s y mistake to make my friends) i remembered i hadn't had any breakfast this morning.

SO... I was feeling French today... because i started my day with a Coffee and Croissant.

Every bit of this tale is true.

(Except for the bit when i said i took a wrong turn into IKEA, because blatantly that was always part of my Master plan)

Some days are productive...

...other days, not so.
I love my Tuesdays - work day! So why was i using up all my work avoidance know how? Work avoidance #1 Photograph oneself, in various silly positions (the above being right at the end of a really good strreeeetttcchhh)

Work avoidance #2 Paint fingernails in lurid Yellow (i swear I am still pubescent... it doesn't look good on the 'kids' and isn't flattering to a 30 something - stop it Kirsty)

Work avoidance #3 This is a good one, because cutting and arranging and photographing felt could almost 'be' work... but it wasn't ( oh pretttyyy colours.... )

Work avoidance #4 Usually I can't wait for my break from her but i had a little play before she went off swimming with papa.

Work avoidance #5 THEee most shameful.... go out to the shops.

(stone me, stone me - I'm not the messiah I'm a very naughty boy) it was an only an hour or two!?!

...and buy OhSoGrownUpNearlyFiveYearOldFish 2 new dresses and hang them sweetly on the door where the look lovely....

KirstyFish slinks off in shame, cup of tea in hand and a good book under her arm...
