dropstitch: January 2015
http://dropstitchblog.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2015. Dulcie and I have been playing quite a bit of Mousie Mousie lately. Does anyone else remember this game? I'm so excited at the thought of playing more board games as Dulcie gets a bit older. One day we'll be able to play Ludo together! Can you believe it? Labels: me and my girl. Thursday, January 29, 2015. Lola the wonder cat. And puts up with so much "love" from Dulcie. Here she is being decorated with Dulcie's extensive sticker collection. They are such a sweet pair. It can be...

dropstitch: July 2015

Friday, July 24, 2015. This is what happens. When you let a three-year-old choose her own outfits. I'd thoroughly recommend it! Remember when I made this bee romper for Dulcie. I thought she'd grown out of it ages ago. Actually, she only grew out of it.six months ago? Well, she can squeeze. Damn it to hell! Me and my girl. Things made by me. Thursday, July 23, 2015.

dropstitch: February 2015

Friday, February 27, 2015. I bought a car! It's a life on the open roads for me! My car (MY car! Thursday, February 26, 2015. Today I'm going to Perth to test drive a couple of cars. Given how little I've driven since passing my test 15 years ago, this would always be scary, but today I'm test driving automatic cars, despite NEVER HAVING DRIVEN ONE BEFORE. I'm taking my dad with me so he can tell me how to start the thing. Ha! I'm scared. Wish me luck! Wednesday, February 25, 2015. I Capture The Castle i...

dropstitch: December 2014
http://dropstitchblog.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 24, 2014. Just a quick post to wish you all a very merry Christmas! This is the card Dulcie and I made to send out this year - hand-printed Christmas trees (using Dulcie's hand) with washi tape trunks and sticker stars and baubles. Dulcie enjoyed getting covered in green paint, but lost interest quickly in the stickers (so fickle! I used my customisable stamp to create this oh-so-hilarious info on the back of the card. HAND made! Honestly, my rapier wit never fails to astound me.

dropstitch: May 2015
http://dropstitchblog.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 31, 2015. This is Gertrude Ederle. The first woman (and sixth person) known to have swum the Channel. What a lady! I think I might adopt her as my mental mascot, though my own swimming challenge is going pretty well at the moment. I've rediscovered my determination. Lengths swum this week: 110. Target total this week: 1037. Total lengths swum: 1056 (19 ahead of target). I'd need to swim 62 lengths this week to meet next week's target. Monday, May 25, 2015. The shelves are up! Swi-i-i-i-im in ...

dropstitch: are you game for origami?
http://dropstitchblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/are-you-game-for-origami.html
Monday, August 3, 2015. Are you game for origami? I'm busy, busy, busy with wedding stuff. Despite my pesky heart throwing me a minor curve ball, I am getting there, but with less than four weeks to go, I'd have to be! I'm making all our decorations by hand and wondered if anyone reading this would like to help by making one or two (or one or two hundred! You can find instructions all over the internet, e.g. here.

http://dropstitchblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/i-might-as-well-confess.html
Wednesday, July 15, 2015. I might as well confess. The blog is also taking more and more of a backseat for the same reasons. Meh, blogging mojo comes and goes with me. I'll come back to it soon, I'm sure. The upside of all this is that real real-life progress is being made. I'll try to share some photos soon. Labels: me and my girl.

dropstitch: what not to do on the hottest day of the year
http://dropstitchblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/what-not-to-do-on-hottest-day-of-year.html
Wednesday, July 1, 2015. What not to do on the hottest day of the year. Back when my wedding wasn't less than two months away (how did that happen? Here's hoping my other decoration plans are a bit easier/more efficient. And here's hoping the finished result is deemed to be worth the effort. Oh yeah, and here's hoping we manage to get everything done on time. Did I mention these felt balls are pretty much the only wedding-related thing so far to get beyond the imaginary stage? Oh, wait, I just did :).

dropstitch: summer postcard club 2015
http://dropstitchblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/summer-postcard-club-2015.html
Thursday, July 23, 2015. Summer postcard club 2015. Graham and I have had a very productive day of wedding business today*, so I decided to take half an hour out this afternoon, to relax and write my postcards for Marceline's Summer Postcard Club. I have a huge stash of old postcards (some that I've been hoarding for almost 20 years) and it was fun to pick a few out to send on to new homes. I hope the recipients like them! Labels: sending and receiving mail. July 25, 2015 at 6:33 AM. This looked like fun!
