Do you WASGIJ?

I'd like to tell you that my kids are so busy playing outdoors or partaking in wholesome educational craft activities that they wouldn't even dream of sitting in front of the idiot box or playing with playstation/wii/nintendo [or insert maddening mind-numbing electronic activity of choice here] this holidays.

But I can't.

Blossom has been confined to the 'even temperatures' of the indoors while she recovers from a throat infection. This means we are all indoors. Bleh.

The traditional holiday jigsaws are a bit of a distraction.

This one is evil because it has a colour photograph in the bottom half and a sepia photo of the same scene taken 100 years ago in the top half. The sepia section will be darned near impossible. Heh heh.

This is one of those WASGIJs. A jigsaw where the picture is just a clue and not what you are actually piecing together. Double heh heh.

Problem is, Firegazer and I are glued to them and the kids hardly get a look in.

BTW, Lesley has given me this award:

Thanks Lesley! Now I need to spread the love and give it to some other bloggers. Now you know I loves youse all but I thought I'd spread the love to those who don't even know I read them...

Here are my top three LURKS who all deserve this award:

The Sartorialist. This guy's blog is so uber cool he won't even care that I read it. Stunning photos of real people wearing real clothes in exotic (to me) locations around the world. Check it out and read why he posts these photos.

Sew Tessuti. Collette Guanta showcases fabulous fabrics from her stores, features her clients and the lovely clothes they sew. Links to places in Sydney you didn't know existed.

Pleasant View Schoolhouse. Anna is quite possibly my polar opposite but a small part of me loves her self-assured approach to making a special home for her family. And the photographs are fabulous.


Now I've just got to reveal myself and tell them I've given them this award...
