Ahh, that's better

Phew! Just finished cleaning the kitchen. What a relief! The dirty dishes certainly do pile up quickly with everybody at home and me cooking up a storm. Well, not really a storm, just dinner! I'm not the best housekeeper - don't wash the dishes on a daily basis. Saving water, I say. There's lots of other things I don't do regularly that I should, too... but who really wants to hear about that?

Instead, I'll talk about my growing obsession with craft and sewing. I'm not actually doing much sewing, due to time constraints and general laziness. But I have tonnes of plans in my head. And now I've discovered that Japanese craft books are fabulous and can't wait to head into Kinokuniya to try and find some! Or pondering upon whether I could bother my Japanese friend Fukuyo to get me some? Of course there's that eternal problem of paying for all this lovely stuff... but we'll deal with that later.
