a poor excuse...

dearest readers, did i say "tomorrow", yesterday?

oh silly silly me, what i meant was friday.

quite an easy mistake i'm thinking to make,

for indeed tomorrow begins with a 't'

and friday begins with an 'f'

see, perfectly understandable that i should get confused...

so yes it will now be friday for the 'ordinarily extraordinary' blanket nitty gritty stuff.

for i wish to do a good job at explaining the joining up of my squares.

as explaining in plain english is not my forte

i must have a jolly good think about how i will demonstrate what i did.

not to mention,

i only finished sewing on the doilies late last night...

so i am indeed a little behind

i awoke this morning to the knowledge i have but a few days of sanity left

and then school gets out.

tomorrow i am off on a field trip with our #4 and his class buddies to the international district.

and today?

well today it would appear after all my Mr Sprightly Spring moaning

he has indeed made an appearance.

i stood in my back yard of moss at 9am,

turned my face to the sun

doing a perfectly perfect job of impersonating a sun flower...

it felt most lovely indeed.

so i shall be away for a few days and

shall return with my little 'how to'.

and yes i am thinking to make up for my confusion between a 't' and an 'f'

i shall don my dungarees for you to see,

so you may be inspired to hunt down a pair at your local thrift store

reclaim those heady carefree days of overall wearing

whilst humming 'come on eileen' by dexy's midnight runners

for we are not alone

it would appear there are many just like us that love a pair of comfy overalls...

she is off to stand in the sun, pasty pins and all, whilst thinking ~ Tif
