My Place & Yours

This week the lovely Danielle wanted to know why you live where you do?
I live in a smallish post gold rush town with My Father and younger Sister. We moved to this house a few years ago and as Dad seems happy to stay here this is were we are. I am 21 and still living at home. I have not yet moved out or away as the margority of my siblings. Why you may ask, well I'm not bludging to much :). i take care of myn younger sister who has a disability, and i allos do the "womens work" around the home. Yep that's about all the reasons. I am relatively young and hope that in a few years if someone asks again i will have a more interesting tale.

look what i got today! isn't it marvelous? Sophia and i were looking at head phones and i came out with this.. It was actually a silly thing to buy at the time because it is heavy and it was raining out side and i had to tramp it back to uni. Oh well she was still totally worth it :D I got it at a really good price. later i was feeling a lil guilty when i saw a crappy one in an op-shop that was the same price so score one Katie :D

Do you think it will inspire me to clean up the sewing room?.......

I have enjoyed sewing for as long back as i can recall. I've been taught by my sister and a little by mum but mostly it has been a personal learning experience. I have made a lot of disasters and learnt a lot. I normally make clothes for my self as for most people finding a dress that you like and one that fits are two very difficult things.

Lately however i have been trying my hand at quilting again making a lot of mistakes but i am on to a new one and it's looking good :) here is a sneek peek

My Place & Yours

This weeks theme for my place & yours is: what's the last thing your brought for yourself?
The last thing I brought was a bag of potato chips but other then that i got this cute lil pattern of e-bay. i thought it would be nice to make a fun little summer dress or an nightie perhaps? something that looks better then the ones old ladies in hospitals were (no offense to those who like those nighties)

Drugs come with lack of wisdom or so it seems...

I had a wisdom tooth extracted on Wednesday, This lead to a whole lot of pain. The tooth or where it was is not the problem. my unknowing dentist moved my jaw when he was getting the charming thing out! this hurts!!! I have not been able to open my mouth more then a intch for the past four days witch suprisingly makes it hard to eat, thank goodness foe wheat bix! they slide down well :)On the up side today I've been to see a GP and he has given me a lovely dose of strong painkillers and muscle relaxants! he also told me to take the week of Uni witch is a bummer but i will hopefully be able to get a good amount of assignment work done.
