a big friendly welcome from Australia..you sound like a very busy lady. i only work 3 days a week and still have trouble finding the time to do everything i want to! I have 2 boys 16 & 18 and also live in a special rural area but we are close to all city conveniences and have 2 acres to be able to enjoy the country lifestyle..the best of both worlds i think! I too am going to dye fabric (one day :lol: ) so post pictures!
