Although I should be spending any and all crafting time on Christmas presents, I told myself that a camera bag was a necessity, and quickly threw this together.It's not perfect, but it is the right size, which is more than I can say for my last attempt at a camera bag. It's made from a thrifted pillowcase, so if nothing else, at least this bag was cheap.

I'm struggling a little bit this week, and am very much looking forward to Steve's return. During the day, and even most of the evening, is fine. At some point, however, I start feeling a little smothered and wishing that the kids would go to sleep. Then, when Noah wakes up every fifteen minutes and needs to be nursed back to sleep, and Emma (who absolutely could not be quiet if her life depended on it) comes barging in, talking loudly and banging around, in the end no one - ever- goes to sleep. Last night when they were both finally asleep at around midnight, I really wanted to sit down and relax with a glass of wine. Sadly, we had no wine so I had to make do with tea. In anticipation of more stressful nights while Steve is out of town, I picked up some wine today while we were out. Tonight I am much more prepared for these few precious minutes that I get all to myself. Ahhhhhh.
