Last Week and This Week

I am just drawing breath This Week after a very hectic Last Week. The Best Man and our oldest boy - who I shall name Action Man because, believe me, he is just that - headed off in a shiny silver plane to Perth, Western Australia, to pick up a new car. Second hand new, that is,  but new to us! 

So I spent all last week taking business phone calls for our wood heating business, talking to the few people that wanted to come and have a look at them and sending emails to those that didn't. Oh, yes and thats as well as the usual home schooling, cooking, cleaning, washing.......shall I go on? 

Across the Nullabor Plain 

This Week my head is only just ceasing to spin and I am beginning to feel that theres a little clarity to my thoughts. Not enough clarity to attempt anything in the crafty line but only just enough to do some catching up in the housekeeping line!! Now, let me see - I have some flannelette bunny rugs to sew up and some tiny singlets to embroider for a friends first baby; I've joined in with the Southern Seasonal Winter Exchange and must finish my item by the end of this month; a skirt for me to finish start; a felt cat to cut out and stitch for our Fairy; and probably some other bits that are unfinished but momentarily forgotten! 

Nullabor road sign - we have taken four pics under this sign over the past 22 years! 

Last Week was definitely Very Busy and I am relieved to be drawing some deep calming breaths while enjoying the photos that my men folk took on their trip.

The Twelve Apostles on the coast of South Australia

Except that now, This Week, I'm dreaming of the trip that the Best Man says we need to make in a year or two. A Big Trip. A Long Trip. A Very Exciting Trip! This Week my head is filled with dreams of travelling, camping and seeing new places!! 

And I probably wont get any of that sewing and crafting done again .......!
