apologies for the long absence and thank you for your supportive comments guys
well, the extreme cold (by north queensland standards) has continued. it is almost enough to tip us all into S.A.D (seasonal affective dissorders). Mike and i feel that we are ill-equipt to handle this prolonged cold … we have resorted to breaking into the ’emergency chocholate’ (which by the way tastes disgusting- there would be trouble if this was a real emotional crisis) and mike has resorted to internal heating via cigars and even drinking cups of tea (highly unusual behaviour!!). This blurr of a figure is mike attempting to heat himself over candle flames- hmmmm.
the first week of the new job is over- i cannot believe how fantastic the change has been. another nice factor has been increased time spent with mike, who is also an ot, and works at the same location, …. as does his dad. while having nice familiar elements, this has also lead to other issues- ie frequently being the butt of all office jokes. after seeing the new addition to the family, a coworker told mike she thought that i looked good with a baby in the arms….. which was followed by mike publically requesting a breif half hour impromptu lunch break in which he wanted to take me home to rectify the situation-grr! as you can see, we are absolutely besotted with the little dear
the next few weeks are also likely to be a little crazy. i have just realised that there are only a few weeks left till the christmas in july markets that tracey and i are to sell our baby blankies at (which can be seen on tracey’s sight- peppermint patcher) much work to be done and so little time!!



Cigars and chocolate hey, naughty, naughty. Ahhh well, as they say everything in moderation, work included.

so glad to hear that the new job is all that you were hoping. I am madly quilting. Will catch up very soon!
Looks like a perfect family there…..
Was great to meet you and Tracey today. So great, in fact, that I blogged about it and just gushed the whole time. Looking forward to seeing you guys again some time.

Layla looks like the perfect incentive for making baby quilts. I looked at the photo of the quilts on Tracey’s blog – they are stunning.
I hope all things continue to go well for you – baby, family, quilting, work, blogging, health, everything.
