Emotionally distraught and stuffed with cake.

Yes I am the above and this is the reason why;

  

This is Little G , my little man, my baby. Today my little G started school ( along with the 2 dinosaurs  pictured above as they too have turned 3 ) and I am not happy, in fact I am downright sad ,sad, sad. There is a tear in my eye , a heavy feeling in my heart and an overwhelming need for cake!

 Let me explain this, what some of you may consider over-reaction. Little G is my third and unfortunately last child , I was not able to stay home with my girls but have been lucky enough to with G and I have loved every minute , even the tantrums , the pee. the poo, the sick and the grumpy days. Now he has gone and grown up and left me for the mornings. Bearing in mind he is the youngest , my first son and my parents only boy ( only daughters and granddaughters) , he is rather indulged, not only by his own family but by my friends and my daughters friends - how will he cope in school?!!!

Will he remember to go to the toilet?Will he remember where the toilets are? Will he wipe his bum?( highly unlikely) Will he wallop anyone?( please lord no, he has a mean right hook -ask his sisters!) Will he get a  cuddle if he needs it? The list is endless.

Admittedly he did not show any signs of worry ,distress, concern, sadness or sorrow when his dad and I left him playing with the farm , he did not look back once, I however felt all of the above and more!

I arrived home to my empty nest ,there was nothing for it

In situations like this only cake will do! I love custard slices , when you bite in one end and the custard oozes out the other end and lands with a great big dollop, if your lucky on your plate - not so lucky down your front. It was a short term fix , but a small ray of light on the horizon of an otherwise bleak day- okay I know way too dramatic!

Lets talk about bright and colourful things, having completed a batch of slides,

I have started work on my dwindling supply of brooches and have started with the wool ones first,

Aren't the colours delicious , these I must add are not all finished , they do not have their needlefelted middles. I aim to make about 20 of these as they are very popular. Next will be my wool felt trees, dogs, matroushka dolls, and flowers -my favourite. Anyway time is up , have to get Little G , find out how much chaos he has caused or how many tears he shed . Wish me luck!
