We are having an early start today thanks to Sloan deciding she must wake Mommy up after Mommy’s late night Christmas party. Sigh. We are braving David Jones for Christmas photos today which involves a bus ride with two kids and pram into the City. We aren’t that far from home if it gets too ugly. [...]

Ironic title to the post because I haven’t been sewing too much lately. Tonight I did squeeze a few minutes at the machine to finish a few small projects.

Still feeling very out of control during the holiday season. Christmas shopping is almost done, but every time I think it is almost over another forgotten present must be purchased!

Some Christmas cheer was spread today with these lovely Russian ladies making their way to a few friend’s homes for the holidays.
I was not brave enough nor insane enough to take the homemade pledge this year, but I am in serious awe of those who have. Has anyone seen crafting goddess Jodie’s [...]

Originally uploaded by Sew Sydney
Friday we celebrated Rhys’ Christmas concert. Watching him in his Christmas play summed up why we wanted children. It brought tears to my eyes to watch my little man in his volcano t-shirt. There was not a lot of singing on his part, but he did a great job of throwing [...]
