Wow has it really been nearly three months since my last post. Not surprising really since we've been in a bit of a state of flux and we only got settled with reliable internet less than two months ago. We are slowly but surely finding our feet in our new home of Melbourne and lucky for us we had a few friends here already and especially lucky for me, I had a couple of great crafty internet friends that I couldn't wait to meet.
One of them recently held a mending bee at her lovely home and I was lucky enough to attend. I took along six garments that needed some form of repair and came home four or five hours later with six repaired items - it didn't take four hours to repair them but if you add in talking and eating it all adds up. What a great day! Thanks so much for hosting Erin and letting us play in your craft room!!
Hey girl! You look fab, and so glad to see you are posting again! Your mending day sounds like a lot of fun, and I wish we had something like that here (ummm, wish I had time to do something like that here!) cos I have a heap of things needing mending!!! Missed your posts, luvie, so hope to see you back hear soon!!! Some piccies of your little man, would be nice! (too demanding?) :)

You did blog about it like you promised.
It was such a great idea and I have been loving wearing my mended clothes again and I did finally finish my husband pants I was working on, only for him to ruin them again :-)
