She used it a lot for kids birthdays, particularly in the late 1980's I think. <br />I'm in the same boat with school drop offs and pick ups with a baby in tow, baby fiddling in the hours in between and hardly a minute for sewing! Its making me crazy.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05264420906552779564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7962068830682572078.post-3274407281747080722012-02-12T20:59:40.561+11:002012-02-12T20:59:40.561+11:00I know!

Especially with a baby - it does make the day short and restricted... hard to really do anything with the ticking time-bomb of pick-up approaching. <br />Hope your sew-jo comes back.

I don't remember if Adele and James are sometimes looked after by rellies or long day care but if so, if your school has a good after school program it means you can get a bit more of a work day in! I was nervous about doing this but ours seems to be a lot of fun for the kids, much better supervised than the schoolyard and a great opportunity to befriend older and younger kids. The issue of sewing time still remains - good luck! <br /><br />PS Thank you so much for your comment on my blouse - I'm glad to hear you and Karin say it's Liberty fabric as that's what I was hoping it was :-)Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091315686616574564noreply@blogger.com
