Craft Schmaft

Sorry about the grumpy outburst yesterday. You know when you’re having a bad day and you think, well it’s gotta get better, and then it just gets worse? Yup, that was my day yesterday.

So rather than continuing to curse at the world today I simply took myself to Buddha Belly, a cafe surrounded by imperial gardens, and pretended I was in Bali for a couple of hours.  Not quite sure how I did this given that the coffee in Bali is horrible and I was enjoying a lovely latte but I managed it nonetheless. Next I took myself to Chatswood to buy a brand new Bernina. Thank you all so much for the tips, it seems the Bernina Activa 230 is very popular and after rave reviews by so many of you I simply walked in, spent two minutes with the lovely sales lady and said that I’d take it. I think she was slightly shocked but let me be honest, I have 6 months of free crafting before another bundle of joy arrives and I turn into a dairy cow for a while. So people I don’t have time to muck around.

Last night I started on a project for my two year old, Oscar. We go to gymbaroo every week and you have to find something in line with that week’s theme to put in the treasure bag. Next week is a seagull. Oscar is obsessed with finding Nemo right now so I’ve taken inspiration from the Nemo gulls and started this. Yes, it does look quite phallic right now. Actually it looks hideous but I find that all my sock toys do at this early stage. I thought I’d post the progress of this one and if it’s a giant craft fail well, you’ll get to see that too. Fingers crossed!
