| Challenge accepted | January 13, 2013 | So this might well be a post about work. Yes, it is. This time last week I was very glad that I had got the whole “first day back at work after Christmas break” thing out of the way before a full week. All the little stresses with taking on a different role were starting […] |
| A new room | November 26, 2012 | The build is nearly complete. There is just the air conditioner to install later this week and then the room is ready to have things moved into it. I am very excited. It is light and airy. I can’t wait to start using my silky oak wardrobe again after a number of years of neglect. […] |
| zips, rick rack and sleeves | October 14, 2012 | Another weekend and more sewing. This weekend I cut out the A line skirt pattern I bought over the inter webs. Either I did something really wrong or the pattern was wrong because the waist pieces did not match the skirt pieces. I did some creative “adding of material” to the waist pieces so they […] |
| The 39th Birthday Skirt | September 29, 2012 | What did you do this year on your birthday? I’m betting you didn’t wake up and think: “I know! It’s been almost 20 years since I sewed anything. I think I’ll make myself a skirt!”. That’s pretty much how my day went and it was delightful. I am not good at long term craft or […] |
| tales of domestic goddessery | September 9, 2012 | It seems like Sunday is blog day here at The Spiralling Shape. Except for last Sunday when I spent the morning with my little piano chickens at their exams. There were tears, laughs and mild panic….and that was just me. Needless to say I was happy when the weekend was over. I took two days […] |
| corporate polo shirt | August 11, 2012 | I’m thinking it would be wonderful to have a Sunday where I mooched around the house in my pyjamas and do not much at all. Perhaps I would read a work of fiction or watch a film. Perhaps I would do some cooking or go outside into my much neglected garden. Perhaps I would have […] |
| Have I overshared? | June 15, 2012 | You think by now I would be able to recognise PMS for what it is. I mean it’s been happening every month for quite some time. But every month I spend a day wondering why I feel extra stress and emotional. Then I spend a couple of days wondering why I want to scoff all […] |

| Bestest colleagues | June 13, 2012 | I have had a beautiful working day with two of my bestest colleagues. Then we went out for dinner and wine. There should be more days like these. |
| Acceptable: 7/10 for discipline | June 4, 2012 | Last night I went to my parents for dinner and because I’ve been working with my lovely group on our proposal for a local history cultural heritage collection I asked about a photo I remember seeing in an album of my grandma’s. My dear mum went and dug it out. It’s a photo of my […] |
