Who loves aprons?



Just before anything else, I must draw you attention to a new baby blog.
It's called PIECES OF YOU.
If you love patchworking, crafting from recycled fabrics and sheer unadulterated creativity, you must have a look.
Now..it's all about me from this point on.
We just spent the weekend away for a friend's 40th birthday. We made a big drive up to Gippsland to Coonawarra Farm Resort. It's on the Stratford to Bairnsdale stretch. Of course with the inlaws in Maffra, we do make this drive occasionally, but I have never done it on my own. Turns out it's easy, but a little on the dull side. Who would've thunk it? I'm usually sewing or reading or doling out food.
So, it's school camp accomodation but there were no schools booked in for the weekend. We had a room per family, with three sets of bunks, a queen size bed and ensuite!
There was a commercial kitchen, a huge dining hall and a COOLROOM!!!
There were five families, a heap of kids from 12 yrs down to 6 months, and I'm sure readers of this blog (and anyone who knows me) will guess that there was a LOT of food.
The highlight for me over the weekend was psyching myself up to go on the GIANT SWING and the FLYING FOX over the lake. I'm not sure if was the height and velocity I was most nervous of, or putting on the HARNESS! I was so shitting myself. I get nauseous on a normal kiddie swing so I was anticipating disaster.
It was fantastic!
