What on earth inspired me to attempt to reignite my creative mojo for the silly season?
I'm making an advent calendar - easy peasy, right? I thought it was going to be.
This is just ridiculous. I have no idea what I'm doing.
I suppressed my excuse of creative flair a long time ago when I decided the world will be a better place without me prancing around pretending that I have talent at something.
I have stabbed myself, burnt myself, almost thrown the sewing machine out the window, and have just banned miss 5 from coming within 3 meters of me - she thinks the pins are some kind of amazing treasure and has taken to hiding them around the house. Which means most will either end up stuck into feet (not her feet of course!) or sucked up the vacuum. Sigh!
Why do I keep trying to be creative? Because I can't cook. What kind of housewife am I if I can't cook OR sew?
A shit one - that's what.
So I'll keep ploughing along here - even if I end up with half a finger or half a brain - so that when Christmas decorations go up in a few weeks I will have proof - hanging there on my wall - that at least I can fake being a good housewife.
And then I'll take it down again to hide in a box for 11 months.

Oh gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou are the housewife with soul. You provide a loving stable home for your adorable girl. As a housewife to the other half you're supportive and you do cook, and clean. You have many skills... Never mind if sewing isn't one of them, I'm no good either - I just fake it till I make it!
Hi there!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through a forum on Bellybelly.com.au, nd I thought I'd stop by and say hi!
You're very brave making an advent calendar! We're only 10 days out from xmas and I haven't even bought a tree yet!
My partner says that wife stands for Wash, Iron, F***, Etc. I like to say I'm a really good FE!
Cheers,
