No time!




Well geez I cannot believe how fast time flies.  I have just had 10 days on my own while my boys did a camping, fishing and boating trip right up the top of Australia with 3 other days and 3 other sons.  They went to Kurumba and had freshly caught salmon and snapper and cod for dinner most nights finishing off with a few toasted marshmallows off the beach bon fire they had each night.  You would think I would sit back and chill out and enjoy the time out for myself but I worked 8 days out of the 10 and I had my fav second family stay with me for the other two.  I did the house work the night before they left and it was hilarious each morning as I would wake up to the same clean plate and coffee cup I had used the night before ... I reused it again the next night.. bla bla bla.... My groceries for the ten days cost me $48 and I had one load of washing.. Bliss... I was able to get home from work at 6pm have a shower, and get straight into bed with a bowl of yogurt and fruit for dinner, turn on the TV, crack open my macbook, plug in my iPhone and I was set in and comfy for a night alone...But in saying all of that I was stuffed from work, and I enjoyed the time that I could take advantage of just feeling lazy.  I must admit I spent a few hours just pondering over interest.. which I never get to do.
I have also been knitting.. I have got 57 squares of my crochet blanket done... and Im a bit bored with it so I have decided to put it aside just for now and have a change of wool and needles.. so I have started to knit a cool Hoodie zip up jacket with pockets for myself... It is very cool and is as soft as a babys bum.  Not sure if I will get it finished this winter.. don't care if I do either.. Im just enjoying knitting it.  I haven't knitted anything for 15 years.  Then I will pick up the hook again and finish my remaining approx 80 squares I need to have to have a complete blanket for my boys.
Along with this I have started my work for the Masters 2012.  Im going to give it another shot.  3rd year... but 2 years with honours so that is cool.  I love the challenge.. but I must admit this year Im a bit fuzzy headed as I have to do a canvas..... So the ideas I have are sooo unlimited... I am not quite sure where to start.  I have some great ideas.... but will keep sketching as I gather my thoughts.
Anyway.... I am off to do something or one of the above....
Love my nights to myself to do my creative stuff
Love to all you girls who read my blog
