Crazy busy...

Trying to get ready for Retreat is making me cranky and anxious and all sorts of sweaty, so I am going to write my Thursday List in a moment and then try to relax for a little while.  I know, unlikely, but it's going to be non-stop from 6.30 tomorrow morning until I get on train just before 10am on Friday.

Hubby and son have just got in from the 3rd and final KS2 performance of Scheherazade.  The Y3s and 4s were singing, the Y5s were doing all the solos and acting.  They all did brilliantly in the heat; polyester Arabian knight costumes did not look any sort of comfortable, it was bad enough sitting still in the audience; I saw it yesterday afternoon...


Apart from making the Giveaway fob and notebook cover last night, I also made a fob for the girls' swimming teacher in the end...


Heather Ross fishes, what could be more perfect!?

So I am now all done with the making; although in a mad moment I thought about making another Staple tunic as an answer to my wardrobe dilemmas, but I think I am just going with t-shirts; life is too short!

I'll pop back tomorrow and let you know how I got on xxx

  3. I am stressed and sweary. I'm probably sweaty too. I actually did some effing down the phone at Chief and he just said: Your a bit stressed aren't you? As for what to wear vests, vests and vest and you'll be gutted that I'll not be wearing jeggings ;-)

  19. And breathe! I love the fish key fob, hope the swimming teacher did! I choreographed dancers (and made costumes) for a school performance of Sheherazade - I spent many, many commutes listening to the songs and planning the dances...
