If you're out of shabby chic material, I saw Argos have a duvet cover sale on and are flogging them really cheap!

I have masses of Shabby chic floral fabric at the moment. Sort of went mad buying up some on ebay last summer, then went ill and didnt use them.
So I better not look at Mr argos or I may still be tempted for my bedroom is aiming to be shabby chic.

I will gather up the pictures of whats available, some of the posts on my blog, in the last few months of 2011 are still available, if you want to see the knd of things I have been making. I shall try and update the blog asap.

I couldnt sleep, and after tossing around from 1.10 am to 2.10 am, I got up.
I have cleaned the kitchen up, put out the recycling, washed up, put drying on, and caught up on some emails. Read a few subscribed thread, and so I hope that I will be tired enough to sleep soon. Just had a horlicks, (lurking in the cupboard, forgot I had), and I am still not feeling tired, but I know I will suffer tomorrow.
I have the Fostering Team social worker coming tomorrow lunchtme, and Molly is coming over around 10am if she is well enough.
Then after I collect DGD at 3pm its over to collect her Mum and bring her back here for the evening. Luckily this will allow me to sleep when I can during the day.
I wish my brain would shut off!. I really do. And now I am having trouble with the keypad on my laptop, and some of the letters are not workng unless i really hit the keys! arggggh

Afternoon, I have had a long day. Not managed much sleep afterall, but now I am just going to try and get through the rest of the day by keeping busy. Molly came to see me this morning, after I had managed to clear out some of DGD's toys to her room so we could move in the front room!.
We had a really long and deep chat today. Both having some of the same problems its easy to see things from a different point of view, and know where the other one is coming from. This afternoon the Fostering Team Social worker came. She has to finish of her Plan for the Fostering Panel, as the Guardianship has been help up for so long. I will have to go to Panel on the 25th january. All over again. Not looking forward to sitting infront of a room full of people scrutinzing my abilities to care for DGD. But I do have the Social workers support. But they are concerned that I have so much on my plate with the twins etc. But I stated to her that I am a normal mother, dividing my time amongst all of my children, including DGD as part of that, and that I just do what a mother has to do really. Its nothing special afterall.
I hope that they are content with that.
She will email me the document to read and then I will print off the last sheet and sign it, and return it. I could not see the point of her having to come all this way to get a signature.
The other Social Worker is due in a few days. Again she has a form that i have to sign,. But i have downloaded that one, and will sign it and post it back tomorrow. That has to be ready for the next meeting for the 9th January. It all seems that we are on all systems go. But we will see.

I have collected DGD from Nursery and she was very happy. Her usual question to ask me, "where am I going tomorrow", was to say to School, and she did a big whoop for joy, and horray. Which is a relief.
We then went on to collect her Mum and the two of them are downstairs dismantling the christmas tree, and i have brought my laptop up to my sewing room along with the printer and I am trying to catch up on the paperwork that I have been neglecting. Luckily thats not the financial side.
Although somewhere I do have the paperwork to pay the tax man for the Independant living accounts.

My inspirational books for creative living, organising a workspace, and the Creative Entrepeneur have all arrived today, to fire me up, along with my lavender for the next few months worth of hearts etc etc.
So I am all ready to get into some Work mode. Wish me luck, that my health will stay stable, and that I get the website etc sorted out.

I have sorted out the order for the kwiksew patterns, and they are now winging their way across to the customer in France as we speak.
I hope that I can continue to build on being an agent for them, and get the patterns out and about. But I am not stocking them at the moment, just an agent as I couldnt hold/afford to stock them. (nor do I have the space, or footfall coming to make it worth it>).

Talking of footfall, I cannot believe that there has been over 2,000 viewings of this thread already.!

Time to get moving the printing has finished.

Well without MSE we would probably not have met, and that would have been a sin!. We work well together and bounce off of each other. Luckily usually one of us is on a good level when the other is low and can help pull each other back up again!.
Both you and your daughter have become very best friends.
Not sure which of the books I want to read first. Also need to dig out the ones that I put on Amazon and make sure I have them just incase they do sell.
Tomorrow I have a website to update and get sorted out!:D

Where do you get the lavender Mooloo?

Savvy_sewing

I got it from a company called the spiceworks. Bought off of them from Ebay last year, then have just been to thier website and bought direct since.
Buy large bag, A4 sort of size, 500g at a time, at around £7.50 at a time. Delivery is free if not in a hurry and under a certain weight. So thats not bad I dont think. I dont know how many things it will do as I dont measure the amounts, I just pour it in the hearts etc and hope for the best. Each one must "feel" right to me!. Very technical!! haha
