Family resemblances

This is Alice Louise Burge - My great-grandmother - I love this picture - she can only be about 2 or 3 but she looks so serious!

This is Daisy Bea, she is around 2 years old in this picture... I can't help but see a resemblance between Alice and Daisy - Great-Great-Grandmother and Daughter!!

And in other news I am not at work today because when I talk, eat, yawn, smile, laugh or roll on to my face my scar splits and ooooozzzes! Yuk Yuk Yuk!

Ow

Today I had my mole on my face removed and I feel quite strange about it. 

It had started having infections in the hair follicle under it and had to go really but I worry now I will look in the mirror and won't be me...

I am sore and puffy now and I have to sleep upright for 2 or 3 weeks and avoid various tasks like bending and lifting and running around ~ so this message is coming from my bed at 5 in the afternoon!!

Hopefully tomorrow I shan't feel quite so sore and more up to life and working.

It's FDI Ballet Exam Tuesday!

Today was the day of my big scary ballet exam - it was stressy and hard work and I am seriously relieved it is over!

The examiner was supposed to ask me syllabus questions and asking for music questions - however she asked me so many technique questions and things that I really wasn't expecting it was a real surprise.

Now I have to wait six weeks for the result and then I know if I have passed or if I have to do it all again! Eek!

We shall see!

Ballet Exam

I am awake still at 11:43 pm and I have big scary exam tomorrow.

I have read and reread my notes and although I am fairly sure I know it I am so worried I'll get in there and forget it all! Ho hum. What's the worst that can happen?

All it is is a case of if she likes my work or not and at the end of the day - I like my work and I don't really mind if she does or not,

Wish me luck!

Saturday

I have been up for hours already today - Toby and I went to the stoopidmarket, clean laundry all put away, new washing hung up, house straightened and hoovered. 

Gonna set about the garden next! 

In other news, I still can't ind the cable I found then lost... Sooo lame! But I have just started on some blue & white cotton rompers for Toby for the summer and a set of blanket, booties, hat and mits, romper and pram blanket for a baby that is due in September! OOOOh, I love a baby! 

Oh Dear

Wasn't planning to write quite this soon - had a  terrible class. Not good with tears shed. Bother!

So instead of moping I am off to find wine and bread and cheese and make a pair of PJ trousers for him indoors!

March

I am smiling today because the sun is shining and the sky is blue.

I haven't posted much which is both incredibly lame and not very helpful when trying to keep a blog.

I have been studying hard for the exam I am taking next tuesday - it's ok though - I already know I am going to pass, I had a dream about it. It's as follows - I arrived very flustered an hour and a half late forgetting my telescope, and the lady examining said to me not to worry, I looked like a nice girl, why didn't I sit down and have a nice cup of tea!

In other news I made Daisy a lovely new dress from vintage fabric - I have found the cable and will post it! It's a pinafore with a bodice of white broiderie anglaise and a skirt of dark blue cotton with a tiny white print. Next up is a romper for Toby!

Will write again soon I promise!
