Yesterday was an eventful day! I had my last session ever of my Tuesday group before starting back at work (it’s been 8 years!) next week. It was a fun session and I received cake and cards and lovely hugs and good wishes. Then I had a phone call which sent me into a mild panic and meant that I had to rush out of there in a big hurry. My niece Rachel rang to say that she had just had a little car accident and could I please come and help her! She is fine (and so are the people in the other car) but unfortunately the car is a writeoff. Of course, this is the car that my sister was planning to sell to Rachel in a few months so not only does Rachel have to spend all the money she just earnt working through her uni break on the excess ($1750!) but now she doesn’t get the car either! We are all glad it wasn’t a lot worse though. A car is just a car.
The same day - I cut my finger open and it poured blood for about an hour before finally stopping (lots of pressure needed) and my mum locked herself out of the house. SO I think we were all distracted. Of course, regular readers might know why… my sister (Rachel’s mum) was having a baby that day too! All went well and baby Matilda and my sister Carolyn are doing well. Sorry, no photos of the gorgeous baby as they don’t want her photo up on the internet.
I’m still madly trying to get things done before I start my new job on Monday and today I finished sewing this shirt. The pattern is New Look 6407.  Tick! Another thing done. I’m off to the hospital to visit the baby (and my sister) again now!

Ouch…how’s your finger? Sounds like your day wasn’t the best..glad Rachel is okay.
Your shirt is very nice. I so want to learn to follow a pattern and be able to sew anything my heart desires. You are very talented…thank you for sharing your talent with me.
