Have you ever…

by Bette_H, in category Musings

Started something big and wondered what have I done?  On Monday morning, as I was getting ready for work, I was see sawing between excitement and nervousness.  I am so excited that we are getting a new kitchen.  But at the same time I am dreading it!  At least 2 weeks with no viable kitchen!… Read More

Mayhem and madness

by Bette_H, in category Musings

I love my little dog.  I do.  Really.  But she has a bit of a problem.  You see, she escapes.  Regularly!  So when we are at work, we have to lock the dogs in the house.  And we lock them in the family room.  Now Stanley can hold on.  And usually does.  But Suki.  Now… Read More

Where Bloggers Create 2012

by Bette_H, in category Sewing Room

I absolutely hate being late to a party, but I do hope that the hostess can forgive me.  And I am not even fashionably late.  I am horribly late, rudely late.  And I am so sorry.  I was so caught up in arranging our kitchen renovation that the time kind of got away from me.… Read More

Treasures

by Bette_H, in category The Needlework Boutique

For the past 10 or so years I have approached the end of the financial year with dread.  And I suppose many retailers do.  After all, this is when we have to do that boring inventory count. But this year, I decided to approach it differently.  Because I realised something that I had not previously… Read More

of Dreams…

by Bette_H, in category Cabinet of Curiosities

Have you ever had a dream, but the idea seemed so overwhelming, that you did not know where to start?  Where you wanted to start a project, but the whole concept was so scary, that you never even put the idea into words?  Well I have.  For years I have wanted to do that which… Read More

Goals

by Bette_H, in category General

It has been some time since I thought about stitching or organising goals.  Let’s face it, I am so tired after a fall day of teaching, that if I don’t immediately start on my school homework, I am often falling into bed at an unreasonably early hour. complete Hooked on Exchanging piece. complete Blackbird Designs… Read More

Progress

by Bette_H, in category General

On this cold, wet, wintry day I finally stopped procrastinating and ventured into the realm of my study where the goal was to finally finish sorting through the last mounds of junk in my quest for an organised study.  Unearthing documents from as far back as 1989 (uni notes), I discovered that most of the… Read More
