My body isn't coping with the stress very well, even though we've endeavoured to really limit activities - hence my absence from the blog. My energy levels are all but non-existent.
One month into school now though, things are just starting to settle down a little, although having said that Miss 7 is at home for the next few days with tonsillitis and my chances of avoiding catching it are, at best, pretty low at the moment!
In an effort to actually get something done, today while chilling with Miss 7 I hauled out a crochet project that has been hibernating since the beginning of the warmer weather. Ridiculously, it only took me an hour to finish it, for all the months it has been sitting in the knitting basket.
It's a simple crochet wrap vest, gratuitously copied from a fellow Raveller (link here), and I think it has turned out rather well... though do excuse the creasing from storage in the photo, I haven't blocked it yet obviously. And I really must find my lovely timber pin to use as a closure rather than the stitch holder I used here lol. I've probably got it stuck in a winter knit in my storage somewhere.
I have been doing a little blog-surfing when I get the chance, and although I've not left a lot of comments around the place, I am living vicariously through your wonderful gardening and various other activities! Oh to be preserving my own (non-existent) summer-ripened tomatoes right now! Your food photos in particular are drool-worthy, people.
So carry on peeps, I might not be here much at the moment, but that's because I've popped around to your virtual place with a cuppa ;-)
Cheers,

I always enjoy it when you check in - your knitting project is very nice, and it is always good to cross something off the to do list! Hang in there and I hope you will soon be feeling 100%
Hope that your health improves Julie. :)
Oh, I just adore that wrap vest!
It can get so overwhelming, trying to keep up with all the kids things, school things, sports & extracurricular things... none of it seems to be sacrificable! And I barely have any of this to contend with yet!
Good luck, Julie, hoping your health can come first, and nice to hear from you!
Oh, I do hope you are feeling much better soon.
I am in love with that vest you crocheted. I was just looking at the Two Little Banshees blog and being inspired by crochet being done there too. It must be a sign.
Look after yourself.
It is hard when you have a young family to care for to be able to devote time to yourself.Best wishes that you get your energy levels back up soon & do try to take life at a slower pace.
Julie that looks amazing. Jeez, I need to do some practising!
I'm hope you are feeling better again soon...
Hi guys,
Thanks for your well wishes :-) It's a slow road but I am getting there! You'd think that would leave me more time for blogging wouldn't you? LOL
Cheers,
Julie
I love ur website and spuralina and krill oil tabs should help with your immune system and energy. Spuralina is best in powder form but packs a good punch. I suffered from lots of sickness recovering from cervical cancer this helps! Love ur site. And ur projects fill me with joy
