Saturday

saturday



it is funny how when i have a deadline with work i become suddenly creative and crafty in all other facets of my life. i think this is like a reverse procrastination as i am getting loads done, just not what i am officially supposed to.

today:
bought a large assortment of kikoys and tea flowers online for Christmas presents.
ordered a few more craft books.
finished my crane mobile.
folded and glued my que? bird.
hung some thai lanterns.
organised papers.
started making some traveller pouches from calico and hemp.
went for a long, muddy run with the pups.

have not:
finished report cards.
packed for school camp {heading to perth in 5 days with 30 remote Aboriginal children!!}
completed most recent writing assignment.

feeling:
content...
hope all have also had a contented saturday,
♥ ashley
