I was nicely woken for the second time this morning to a phone call from my Dad and Step Mum. With the combination of that and the dream I was having about a friend that died a few years back, i couldn't go back to sleep. In my dream my friend was just about to tell me why he didn't actually die, when I was woken the first time by my gorgeous Husband, who wished me a Happy Birthday before he went to work.
Have you ever woken from a dream and went straight back to sleep hoping you can continue the dream where you left off?
I tried, but it didn't work :-(
So it looks like it's going to one of those days! Eythan is a wonderful sleeper! However he woke up only a few minutes after the phone call and was crying! This is SO rare!
So a much earlier start today and not even time to lay in bed and wake up. Oh well.
I was a lucky girl last night, I got one of presents early! My hubby listened to me and bought me the bookcase I showed him. It's only purpose is to house and display my fabrics!
Yum!
This is my sewing area by the way, but as you all know i don't do much sewing there. I usually sit on the lounge. Can you blame me!? Have a look at the seat and then the bottom of my sewing desk/old dresser! I think I be asking for a sewing desk for Christmas from Santa lol!
You can also see in the picture bits of the It's a Hoot quilt lying over the awesome sewing box my husband made me for Mother's Day. Also on the sewing machine cover in the middle of the desk, is a place mat I'm in the middle of. I will have to show you more of these a bit later.
I had to tell you about the last lot of fabric I got in the mail. I ordered a heap of Heather Bailey and Amy Butler (at last! My first lot of Amy Butler fabric, I have only been wanting some for ages!) scraps! i purchased them from imaginefabric. I was so rapped with them and that is what I'm using in my place mats. Here is a little pic of them.
You might (probably not) be wondering why I haven't posted for awhile (ages)? Well there is no good reason. I've been working on presents, my It's a Hoot quilt and anything else non- business related. I'm just not feeling inspired Mother Dragon Creations wise. Although I do have ideas galore! It seems like I'm always making something for someone else (manly presents) and I'm hoping once I've made a few things for us, I can get back to work.
My eldest son finally wished me a happy birthday at about 10am. He is 5, so it's ok. He remembered his Aunty, Uncle and the twins are coming to stay today and he had commented on the early "present" I got last night, but he hadn't twigged that today is my birthday! He was watching TV and someone said it was Wednesday, and I couldn't wait any longer. I asked him what else was today? So he said the day his Uncle, Aunty, the twins and there dog where coming to stay! Yes I say, but what is special about today? Um......It's winter! he says. i give up, so I told him it's my birthday. He runs off and does something and comes back a bit later. "So do you have something you want to say to me? "Oh yes Mummy, Happy Birthday!".
Finally!!! He woke up today talking pretty much non stop, but couldn't remember the one thing he needed to say. Oh well, better luck next year son!
i better go set up the portable cots in the spare room, so i better go for now. I will try not to leave you for long this time.
