It's chaos at my place at the moment. I usually try to keep my house tidy but right now...I can tell you....it is far from tidy.
Luke arrived home yesterday morning from his trip to the USA. He had a ball and this is all there is to see of him....a half unpacked bag and loads of washing. He hotfooted it out the door to see his mates and play his regular Thursday night game of touch footy (as that is how you deal with jet lag when you are 19).

I am a massive believer in travelling around this beautiful country of ours and overseas. I think travelling teaches you life lessons that you can never learn in any school or work place. Although Luke learnt many things....as parents we also learn when our children travel.
I learnt....
- he will ring me when he is lonely
- he will ring me when he is stressed
- he will ring me when he needs money
- he will ring me at 5am when he's angry with me and tell me that the sports store I researched in Vegas was miles away and cost him $96 return in the taxi
- I don't mind when he rings :)
- he will still ring me when he's having a good time and everything is fine but no where near as often.
I want my children to fly...go wherever they want to go....travel the world and experience life.....follow their dreams. I don't need them to need me....but it's nice to know that they will call me when they do! :)
There is chaos in the rest of my house as it is full of fabric samples and cards as all of our new ranges have just arrived. My dining table and kitchen bench are covered with exciting new samples, and I am filled with excitement as I try to decide what promotions and marketing I'm going to do -which ranges I like and will sell well, which ranges already have great project ideas that need to be presented...the list goes on. My head is overloaded with so many ideas at the moment....chaos!




I have so many projects and ideas happening in my brain at the moment it's hard to know where to start as I want to work on all of them. So today is a planning day, a schedule day, a "get your but into gear and put your thinking cap on" day.
I've got almost all the new ranges uploaded onto the website so you can have a look. There are some beautiful ranges and I have my favourites already. Let me know which ranges you can't wait to see in the stores.
I'm off to try and get some of this chaos under control.
Take care....Di
