Le Wkend - part 1

I haven't had a wkend to myself in my own home since little Miss P was born. Thats over 3 years ago!! This wkend has been a long time coming and I HAVE PLANS!! I'm so excited (although tinges of guilt do sometimes slip into my consciusness!). I've spent the whole week thinking,listing,planning what to do. Whilst I would love to go clubbing and socialising I can do this anytime. Being home alone is a rare comodity and I intend to make the most of it.



So, everyone keeps asking me what I'm going to do. Well, to bring order to my mashed up faffing about brain (which leads me to try and do everything and therby achieve nothing I decided to do 5 things. The criteria for which are - things I never get a chance to do, things I love doing, things I've wanted to do for ages, things that push me and develop my skills, things that are a luxury in my time pressured world.



1. Amy Butler cushion - this was one of the first patterns I bought (about 2 years ago) and I still haven't managed to make a start).







2. Play, stroke and plan with my fabric collection (this is real luxury) and tidy it up
3. Make something for little miss P in one sitting (I never ever get the chance to complete a project from start to finish in one go)
4. Learn a new technique - either sewing or IT/blog related.
5. Write a tutorial or pattern


So, will it all happen?

Enjoy your weekend. I can't wait for one of those. It's been about 3 years for me too!

Did you solve the freezer paper dilemma? I would love to know. Can you ask the deli where they get it. There must be some wholesale supplier. maybe you can pay for a roll. Maybe we can order some together?? I can't find it here in Germany either :(
