The things you learn!
Gwen and I were doing her school reader this morning. Rivetting stuff of the form "An A is large. A B is small. A C is large..." We got to the last page. "A kowari is small." It had a cute picture of a thing that looks like a marsupial mouse. What on earth is that? So we looked it up. It is a carniverous marsupial rat, native to SA, in the area ( Read more... ) -

How do you know an elephant's been in the fridge?
Footprints in the butter.
How do you know a mouse has been in the kitchen?
Toothprints in the butter.

She's five months old now, has been eating rice cereal since before she was four months and fruit on and off. This week I'm going to promote her to two solid meals a day, one fruit/veg and ( Read more... ) -

Labour was 8 1/2 hours, much longer than I was expecting, and much more painful. The worst part was the pain through my lower back. When I saw my chiropractor some days ( Read more... ) -

I was really expecting the baby to arrive yesterday. The other two were late, and born the last Saturday of the month. It didn't happen.
Instead we had a lazy day, then took the kids to watch the fireworks over Lake Wendouree. Despite getting there at the time they were expected to start, we got a parking spot on the parade, nose in to the park, 10 ( Read more... ) -

Well, I've managed to cut one sleeveless shift for me, with front and back gores, and two RED linen/cotton tunics for Ro. None have been sewn together, but at least they're cut ( Read more... ) -
Reflections and planning.
Well, today's achievement was to finish a linen tunic for Ro. I cut and overlocked it together a week or two ago, so all that was needed was to hand finish the neck, wrists and hem. He now has 3 linen, one silk and 2 wool tunics for festival ( Read more... ) -
