sewing hell

for her tudor home learning project (the irony is still biting me) eden is doing a tudor dress. mostly for the learning of the sewing machine stuff. anything else she is going to loose i think. she has really enjoyed doing the machine stuff, the pinning and tacking have driven her mad with tedium, and me having to listen to her!
today we went back to the fabric shop and found some material for the main dress that didnt come to over £30!! but it doesnt exactly go with the underskirt and top, but never mind, it is more about her learning something that it contrasting!
sparks stayed over at jay's last night and had a ball! i havent seen him yet today as he is still there, nic will drop him home later when she is on her travels i spec, but it is so quiet here without him, even if the others make up for him in noise, it is out of step, definatly something missing!! he has never had a sleep over on his own before, at least one of the others has gone with him. my lil fella is turning into a man!
christine has turned up with another of her and rivers school friends, edz is now bugging me to ring bonnie, but i know she isnt home today, her mother is going for a d&c. bonnie was over for sunday afternoon and had dinner with us. i thought it only fair to explain to her mother that i knew her dad from a long time ago. she knew who i was instantly and starting a conversation of isnt richard a complete waste of space lol she told me a few things that i didnt need to know, but glad i do and had i known them a year ago i'm not sure how i would have handled things. i know i wouldnt have been able to speak to him and probably still carried around all that pain.
long gone, ancient history.
when she came to pick bonnie up, she said how spun out she was, but like i said, i wasnt going to take her daughter over to mine for her to find out some other way that i knew bonnies dad. she asked me what my husband was like, i told her he was the opposite of hers, she said "tall dark hansome and honest?" thats the one!! lol
have to get on with the cutting and pinning and sewing of this dress .....
i really really dont want to!!
can you tell??
i might go prepare the chickens for tonights dinner, roast chicken and rice.
could always do some miles on the strider, but then i'd need to shower!
hhhmmmm maybe i should mop floors and continue to procrastinate!

or not
