Wishing you a rather belated but heartfelt Happy 2008! I can’t believe we’re a week into the New Year already, though I have to say it’s amazing how quickly I’ve reverted back to the boring work routine after my break. I had a mostly relaxing 10 days in the South Island where it was hot and sunny most of the time. I even got a hint of a tan (that is I progressed from blue to white!) which is rare for me.
The flood is still dominant at home. I have new carpet…charcoal grey which will show every single sewing thread and hide every dropped needle ; ) Probably not the first choice I’d have made! Alas the painters have not yet finished. They’ve primed the walls and are leaving them to cure. So I have minimal furniture back in the house and worse still minimal sewing supplies.
I’d anticipated spending last weekend unpacking and settling in but it was not to be. Instead I played with my new bind-it-all machine and made a couple of books. I’ll try and get some photos but that may be a little difficult as my laptop up and died on me.
It leaves me totally without email, as we can’t access our email at work – however you can pm me through teddy talk. I am aware that there are people waiting for emails about bears – I’ll try and get to a friend’s house on the weekend to respond to you.
I am not sure when I’ll get a new laptop – probably a couple of months away yet. It was definitely not an expense I’d bargained on. I’m so cheesed off as my old laptop was only a couple of years old. Now I’m wishing it had been sitting on the carpet when I had the flood!
