Today, I shall mostly be looking after two children who have tummy bugs ( that's the polite way of putting it ). I shall also be washing sheets, duvets, soft toys and sofa cushions. Nice.
If I get the chance though, I will be looking here, at the lovely watercolours, dolls and embroidery.
Hopefully.
God, Are they ever in school? What with half-term, holidays, inset days and illness how is anyone supposed to get any crafting done? Great site link. Do you think all the girls in Japan are busy stitching cute animals? Do you think these are grown women like ourselves making these? I don't. I think they are all about 19-23 and then they stop and do something else. Like grow up.

I hope they feel much better quickly! Thanks for sharing the link! There are some really cute things on there! I love the embroidery of the two people talking into the tin cans and all the things that are hanging off the string!

Oh dear, the ever dreaded, "mom, I think I'm going to...." Sending you thoughts of sweet lilacs in Spring and even island gardenias! Great link, I LOVE the watercolors!

Hey Lyn - I'm ever so sorry for you! Yours are a bit bigger than our Lexie, I think. She throws up delicately into a tea towel usually, which makes everything considerably more pleasant! Hope all the washing gets dry. I just had a quick look at that site and am hugely fired up to make a purse. So thanks for that!!

Poor you. Poor children. Poor washing-machine. Hope you all cope until it's over.

Good luck with those sick kids. So much work for you. Hang in there! Hopefully they get better quickly.

Hang in there!

I hope the children are better very soon! Mine had it only a week ago, and my husband and I got it too. The washing as astronomical ( from the boys, not us!).

oh yuck. I hope the sickness leaves your home in a hurry before anyone else catches it! I think some wine just might help YOU ward it off, don't you think?

Thanks for your sweet comment about Kath's bag. I loved working with the reds because I never do really, being a green kind of gal. Sorry about the tummy bugs, I feel your pain. Just remember, not to feed them any blue gatorade (not my idea, it was the grandfather)thinking that it will surely hydrate them.

You give the best links! Sorry about your sick kids, I feel sure we'll be in the same place at some point this season.

I'm just getting over that myself and let me tell you, I'd rather have it myself than cope with the little one having it.
I hate when my kid is sick.
