Great job, and a quite nap worthy work it is. <br /><br />My sewing for this week, which was supposed to be my time to sew amounted to finishing a dress for Thumper (I honestly was almost finished when I started) and quilting one square on my wonky log cabin quilt. So you are still ahead of me nap and all. <br /><br /> Also, my husband is forbidden to do laundry too. The only exceptions are his hunting clothes. He can do them if he doesn't touch any of mine in the process! <br /><br />I had two of my grans for the night last night and so I did a little napping myself this afternoon! They were very good, but I was still worn out!Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09662565253955618120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-19385117437035555352011-11-14T13:14:29.401+10:302011-11-14T13:14:29.401+10:30Okay, have to agree.

More money for fabric! I'm looking forward to the days when I can take Nana naps. It is kind of unfair because I am old enough now. But I don't think you can call giving birth in your forties and then having a five-year-old calling, "Mom? Where are you?" at various times throughout the day anything other than what I justly deserve. On the other hand, I like to think all that activity keeps me young. Yeah, I'm going with that:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-87491087721157199992011-11-14T13:12:07.599+10:302011-11-14T13:12:07.599+10:30Aren't you the clever girl with the handbag ha...Aren't you the clever girl with the handbag handles!
