Hands up!
OK, now be honest with me….
Who joined me in feeling a great big sigh of relief when the last family member went out of the door this morning?
Phew.
I love the lot of them, but it felt SO good to be in an empty house and have some time to myself again!
I was really raring to go this morning. It felt like the start of something new, and I was in Mrs Super Efficient mode…..so I’ve edited a couple of surveys, sent off my CV into the ether and maybe in the direction of that new job I mentioned, taken a yoga class, washed floors and cleaned bathrooms…..and it feels great!! I’m still not completely over my flu (can you believe it’s been a whole month?), but I’ve had enough of it and it has to go, so I’m having a real health and fitness campaign!
My prize for getting all that lot done was a little sewing time….the January blocks for Nicole (Follow the White Bunny) for Sew Euro-bee-an. Nicole had asked for these + and x blocks in black, white, grey and a strong colour. They are going to make a really striking quilt! I loved using some of the really cool lettered fabrics I’ve acquired recently.
OK, so what’s next? There might be time for something else before the munchkins get home

My hand is up! Although it felt strange to be alone this morning and I was missing my daughter (she went back to China yesterday) I also got lots done. I put all my Christmas stuff away, which took my nearly all day as I have A LOT! Then I made dinner with whatever was left in the cupboard and fridge and made a long shopping list for tomorrow. I also washed a few loads. Unfortunately no time for sewing, maybe tomorrow!

I’m with you! It feels nice to have a visitor free house, and all the decorations down. It doesn’t feel quite as nice to be back at work though – not much time for sewing.

Well, you already know I rejoiced this morning. And took a nap. Those blocks are amazing! Love them so very, very much. Might have to copy them.

Oh man! To be able to get all that done… I’m envious! Glad you had a great day!

“I am Woman Here Me Roar” should be your theme song. You have had a great day. I love the quiet of my home, too

Sadly I was the first out of the door this morning and last one home, so no sewing for me

Unfortunately I was one of the ones leaving the house today – roll on Wednesday, my day off!!

As a substitute teacher I was glad to be going out the door to school this morning
It was DH birthday today so our decorations and tree are still up for another week – but that’s okay. I love having the tree lit up in the evenings when our days are still so long and dark. I hope you have many more happy days like today!

Yup, we’re glad they’re back at school and uni. They’re not, but too bad!
