Some of this week was rudely taken up by a migraine! How dare my body turn against me when I had sewing and social plans? I get less of them these days and they aren’t as bad as they used to be, I probably shouldn’t whine about it. Besides, I have peppermint tea and that fixes everything. The week might have been sort of slow mo but lots happened anyway. I managed to write some sensible emails about exciting ASG things to come, I made a sewing plan for the next 6 months and I finished up a massive jar of peanut butter before the expiry lol.

- Yesterday was the Marion ASG meeting and it was awesome to catch with everyone. I got a little sewing done with my mini machine. If you’re interested, you should definitely come along to the next one.
- Mummy Ask traced off a skirt pattern (her size and my size) at our meeting. Earlier in the week she made a one seam skirt for herself and has a few more planned. I love seeing her all excited about sewing. And I love that she was kind enough to trace for me!
- Who knew P.L Travers, the writer of Mary Poppins, was so eccentric? I saw the doco, The Real Mary Poppins, on ABC iView. So worth the watch.
- Have you sewn one of the by Gertie Butterick patterns? Enter your garment to win a bolt of each fabric in Gerties new line. I’m tempted to sew something just so I can enter but I know I won’t get it done in time.
- I’ve been obsessed with Annika’s ‘Make, Thrift, Buy’ series on YouTube. It’s all about recreating cool designs. Also, so many cat things.
- How cool is this smart Epi-Pen case? The Bestie is allergic to everything and carries an Epi-Pen, so I can see the value.
- I spotted this pic on reddit with the caption, “As a stay at home mum of four”. I thought you guys might like it.

I’m going spend the day indulging my current obsessions – hummus with celery sticks and the TV shows Forever and Suits.Both shows are slightly unbelievable but I’m into them none the less. I feel like I REALLY need to rest up for a big week of tutorial writing and sewing. I’ll probably need to fold laundry and make food happen but that’s about it. What are you up to today? I love know what other people do! So, go on let me know xxx
