Not enough hours in the day

Have you been wondering where I have been lately??
Somedays even I wonder where I have been lately and what exactly I have been doing.
The very short answer to this is, I have been at home!
Getting your house all spick and span so you can sell is a mammoth of a task (especially when all up its almost 40 squares). So I get the terrible guilts if I forgo my domestic duties and duck out for some time in the real world with the little miss.
Speaking of my little Poppet, man is she getting big. She is now 8 months old, where did that time go? She prattles on all day long and now and can very clearly say mama, dada, nana, hello and a few less clear words. She has discovered that next to her dad our dog Frankie is the coolest thing in the world. When I am watching her play on her mat she looks dangerously close to crawling, part of me thinks this is super cool and the other part thinks oh oo she's going to be mobile very very soon.
I haven't done anything crafty in such a long time I forget what my workroom looks like (well a mess but you get my meaning). I was so pleased when I finally got the time to set up my sewing machine and sew a few christmassy things at the end of last year, I was all set to get sewing in January, but it just didn't happen. I had forgotten how great it is to see a project come together so quickly. When you mostly knit it takes forever to see how your project is going to look.
I have been missing my computer and for once have felt very greatful for my iphone (without it I would have had no internet for the past month). That being said they are also massive time wasters,, I mean really how many times do you need to check facebook a day??? (in my case many many times too many).
I don't want to get ahead of myself but I am really looking forward to this house selling, moving somewhere smaller with way way less housework and hopefully having time every now and then to read a book a in the bath.
Until then I plan to clean and tidy as much as I can and cherish whatever sleep I can get.

I hope your all having a lovely day.
