sidetracked


I was supposed to be stitching away on Ava and her babies this past weekend- but I got sidetracked.... I was cutting fabrics for placemat kits at the shop on Saturday- and one of the kits wanted to come home with me.... of course I couldn't resist, so I started making placemats with this really funny not so capabele skier... (maybe it was from missing DH who was in Italy for a skirace...)I still haven't finished them- too many things going on at the moment with lots of work and kids having all sorts of practices and rehersals every night of the week.

Ola's room is right next to my sewingroom, and I've been telling him to tidy it up for WEEKS! (I am not kidding) the kid seems to be allergic to any kind of cleaning or even putting things where they belong in the first place- so finally on Sunday we got it cleaned up together. It looks so much better now- don't you think? It even looks like this today- 4 days later. He seems to be much better about putting his toys away when he's done playing with them now when the room is nice and tidy.


I just had to show you DD all dressed up for her first schooldance on Monday. She had a great time, and they danced all night long after their dinner. Now it is a year until their next dance.
Have a wonderful day- and thank you for reading!
