Waiting

I'm a VERY patient person by nature but still I HATE waiting!!!

Waiting for:

• the kids to get ready for school
• the water to boil for the eggs
• laundry to get washed
• Christmas to arrive
• the joy of seing my husband after work
• paint to get dry
• my favourite food to get cooked
• the dog to let go of my dress
• the cars to drive slow in our street
• great concerts to begin
• the mailman to bring me parcels
• pictures to be uploaded
• the windy weather to stop
• lovely movies to start
• vacations to take place

But most of all - at this very moment - I hate waiting for Anne-Sophie to get back from her English exams....

Warm and well

In the warm, wonderful, sunny weather we are having these days, everything seems to dry out rapidly. We haven't had any rain for a very long time, which has resulted in a yellow law and flowerbeds with hanging headed flowers in our garden....

The only ones of our flowers which are doing just fine with the heat and lack of water, are our Lavenders. They are gladly bursting out their georgeous colours, as if they haven't noticed the drought and misery of their fellow plants!!

Oh, how I love lavenders.....

The rest of us - at least in my family - have spent loads of time outside and at the beach. Everyone except Anne-Sophie, whom can be found like this all of the time lately:

She is studying so hard for her upcoming exams - first one in English this Tuesday. That is why she and I are speaking English most of the time - for a few more days - by Anne-Sophie's request!

Shorts for Daniel

Shorts for Daniel, originally uploaded by lille-ursus.

The shorts for Daniel are finally done - I'm not that fast! Now I'm working on the ones for his littlebrother Simon.....

I hope he likes them and that they fit. Emil tried them on last night, and that looked fine.

And look what I found - green bias tape with pink dots......I have so many ideas for it in my head - it could be used for anything!

Although Anne-Sophie said to me that "you have so much of those trims and bias tapes!!!!"

I don't think so ;0)

Don't forget the dotty giveaway - there is still time...
