[Club held on 04 June 2015, blogged on 08 June 2015. \u00a0Instantaneous!<\/em>]<\/p>\n

I’d committed way in advance to hosting a sewing club for the ex-CA-ans on 28 May, but as it turned out I had to postpone it because I was sick… and I remained sick all through the weekend. \u00a0(Finnur departing for CA that Friday the 29th was less-than-perfect timing, but we all survived. \u00a0Barely.)<\/p>\n

Anyway, I decided it was one of those now or never things, so a week later I did host a sewing club, sans the help of Finnur who usually picks up a lot of my planning slack, and takes care of the kids upstairs while the girls chat and nosh.<\/p>\n

No such luck this time, but it all worked out ok (and as an added bonus, the lower floor is clean and tidy for once!). \u00a0The only thing to go “wrong” was Emma discovering a jar of vaseline which she smeared all over herself and our\u00a0sheets, and Anna calling down around 9:30 pm to ask if she should give Emma a bath to clean her off. \u00a0(I decided no bathing, just a rub down and back to bed. \u00a0She finally succumbed to sleep soon thereafter).<\/p>\n

Other than that I think a good time was had by all! (2 images total)<\/p>\n
