Honours

It is not often that I receive any mail in the post that I am actually happy to receive.
It is usually just a vast array of boring everyday stuff. Bank statements, water and electricity bills, ATO correspondence, you get the drift.

Well last week (or was it the week before?) I received a letter I actually enjoyed reading.
It was from Uni, a letter inviting me to complete an honours year at the completion of my degree.
Because I have received all distinctions apparently that automatically qualifies me to complete an honours year.

So all the hard work and studying has really paid off! However that honours year will probably take me three years to complete as I will be studying part time.

In other news, Lily slept brilliantly yesterday having two lovely big 2 1/2 - 3 hour sleeps. However last night she was up every 2 1/2 hours, cheeky little miss!
So today I will be doing trying to encourage her to have a little more wake time.
It's not even like I can vacuum to wake her up, she sleeps right through it! She is like her Mum there, once she is asleep she is well and truly asleep!

I am supposed to be starting my quilting classes tomorrow. I put it off last week as I didn't want to leave Lily. It remains to be seen if I will be able to tomorrow!
Isn't it funny, I say I want to return to work, yet I can't even leave Lily for 2 hours while I am 2 minutes down the road.

Here is a pic out of my dream house file for today, or should that be dream garden?

Congratulations!! You clever cookie, and clever Miss Lily sleeping like a champion.

I'm just starting a dolls quilt for Miss Mintee ~ looking forward to it... in the fabric choosing stage (from mum's stash!!) via pic's and skype conversations... and then she'll bring the fabric over at Christmas.... should be fun! Can't wait to see your masterpiece.

Thanks Andrea.

Be careful I have discovered that fabric is extremely addictive!
As is quilting!
A great feeling to be creating something though.

I wouldn't go as far as to call it a masterpiece that is for sure, I have never done any sewing previous to this!
