Exploring Sewing one stitch at a time

So I didn’t make it to Liberty, my meetings were moved, my lunch break was free and I had just enough time to race there an back… but an over strenuous aerobics session the day before meant I could barely walk, never mind rush across central London..

I did, however, make it to John Lewis on Wednesday, not to meet Amy Butler but to browse the stand they had set up. I had a lovely browse through MidWestern – which just looks amazing, very inspiring designs, ideas and beautiful photography.. it felt very tranquil! – definitely on the Christmas list if anyone’s taking notes!

and I admired piccies on Lisa and Jo’s blogs – neither of them was so foolish as to cripple themselves with too many leg lifts!

Once recovered from my aerobic endeavours, I ventured into the world of tap dancing this week. A lunch time beginners course in the gym at work – and it was fab! We did the opening to All That Jazz, from Chicago.. Jazz hands a plenty!

I’m having a real summer of Hen Parties and Weddings this year, which I’m loving, certainly not getting Post-wedding blues with so many others to look forward to! My new colleague is beginning to think I do nothing but attend these functions though.. It’s hen party number 4 this weekend – a joint Hen and Stag do in Chester, a city I’ve never visited before. I may do further injury to myself on Sunday at the high wire forest adventure course Go Ape

Back in the habit

Filed under: Suzical — Suzical @ 5:10 pm

My friend spotted this blog post about dating a startup company owner, she was thinking this sounds familiar as she realised she was wearing an ironic search engine optimisation tshirt.. Our partners are business partners so we are united in this weird world! The boys just got iphones and I’m not sure if Hev is also experiencing iphone widowhood?? but everytime I turn round D’s looking something up or checking his email! The upside is I get his old phone as a replacement for my old brick, I can finally take photos on my camera :-)

Exciting news over on U-handblog, Amy butler is in London next week. She’ll be at Liberty on tuesday. I’m hoping I can move some meetings at work, though at the moment the people involved are still on holiday..

Check out this giveaway over at Funky and Delightful, congratulations on 100 posts!!

It’s weird how easy it is to get out of the habit of blogging and sewing in fact and how difiicult it is to get back in the habit again! I’ve been waiting for something earth shattering to blog about and then I realised this week, one of the things I like to read is the more personal stuff – the details not just what people are making but how they fit it in around the rest of their lives.. Lisa has a good post over on Craftboom about how she lays out her day, she’s lucky enough to do this for a living, so has all day to play with (around the admin of course!) – how do the rest of you find the time and the energy??
