Dandelions make you wet the bed

Ok ... so it's been a little while...but I have an excuse - in fact I have many. But all excuses have sprung forth from the fact that I am going to be in this market at the Design Centre in Launceston. So if you are out and about at this end of the apple isle - come say aloha. Hell if you are a crafty little maker - drop them an expression of your interest and come sit next to me. So this brings me to the chain reaction of excuses. You see I had to get on into my sweat shop and get some lovely things together for aforementioned market - October is proving to be jam packed with visitors and adventures so I am having to be disciplined (damn, knew I left that forte somewhere!) Anyways here is some of what has come of my new found attempt to be focused.I tell you as soon as that little one's head hits the pillow for her midday sleep, I've been cutting out, sewing, hemming, hand sewing labels and handwriting swing tags. Now for the second excuse for non-blog action. I had to really get ahead as I was having visitors from the mainland. Liz, Gav and Ryan are members of my much missed Melbourne mother's group (Gav is not a mother, but he is OK with being a member of a mother's group - he's good like that). We got to hang out for a couple of special days - Gav is a chef, he makes good dinners with squid and stuff so we feel frequent visits are ace. So we did some sightseeing at Cataract Gorge...

We got to see Cataract Gorge on a somewhat chilly day but it never fails to make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The great outdoors does indeed feel great at this little gem of a spot. The peacocks were disappointingly unaccomodating with the plume fan out thingy whatsit despite my attempts at a faux mating dance (that's faux - I am interested in Duncans not peacocks, in case you thought you had been tricked into reading a kinky blog). That's the mainlanders bottom right (don't mention the war - I mean the Geelong Beanie) But my third and final excuse for blog neglect is this ...

My little girl is now a walking adventurer. She is off and racing and that meant lapping up the sun at the park and making our first daisy chains

and unfortunately the battery died before I could get a pic of Edie eating her first daisy chain but she tells me it was yum. Dinny would have told her that dandelions would make her wet the bed! I hope spring is as springy for you all xx
