It's amazing what you can achieve in the time it normally takes to:
feed kids / bath kids / put kids to bed / feed self / clear up / flop.
I left at five and was home soon after nine...

...but in between I did a bit of screen printing, decorated a jam jar, drank (a few - whoops) lovely cocktails through lovely paper straws, put some blogs to faces, wrote a love letter on a doily and made some very good purchases.

Stationery and stuff... it's a bit like being in a sweet shop, I couldn't resist... I got some Honeycomb tissue balls, parcel tape, rubber stamps (perfect for emergency birthday cards) and ink... and of course I couldn't NOT buy some washi tape....
