listen to Pimsleur French
drink the tap water despite advice to the contrary
take pics of strikeoffs
search Ikea website for chairs for new house
be bored
wait
wait
wait for real life to start again
Glimpse of my next collection above. Don't have photoshop to help me fix up the photos from my not great digital camera so I hope these are doing it justice.
Thinking I need a new camera, a goodish one under $500.00. Any suggestions?
Moving to our new Belgian digs in about 2 weeks. CANNOT WAIT!!!
WIll blog from there.

Weeks in temp accommodation is miserable. We have done it too many times. However once you move into your new home it is soon forgotten. Hope all goes well.
Congrats on the new fabric, it looks great.

Good luck with your move, Tanya. I just love glimpses of your new fabric collection. I still have to get some of your French Hatbox fabrics (I'm still admiring my Ava Rose ones!).

I bought a Canon G10 about 6 months ago and I'm pretty happy with it. Though I'm taking a photography class right now and finding out it doesn't do *everything* (aperture range is only 2.8-8.0, can't set the shutter to always opening, etc.). But still a very good all around camera.

Thanks for a glimpse of your new fabric line. My mouth is watering already. Just gorgeous.

The strikeoffs are wonderful! I have a coolpix camera and it does the job. My brother has a nice canon camera and he likes my macro!

Good luck with the move, can't wait to read all about the new adventure.

I've got a Cannon G9 (it's about a year and a half old) so I'd say go with the comment about the G10. I love my camera! Great Photos...and still not so big like carrying around a SLR.

I am really loving those orange flowers, and the birds, and well, everything! It's very different from Darla and Ava, but I like it!! I see really cute quilts and purses!

Tanya! Wow! I'm floored by how different this is from your other lines! I'm already planning a dress made with the orange poppies, and those tulips are gorgeous (neuvo art deco?).
I hope you get settled soon. You definitely need to meet up with Yvonne (I've been a fan of hers forever)!
