Doin’ the gumboot shuffle

Hello and thanks for popping in for a visit.

I’m sloshing around in my gumboots today. . . it’s been pretty wet here since the weekend. In fact, it has been very WET. . . that flooding kind of wet, but we’re quite safe and relatively dry where we are. There has been some road closures and evacuations here today and that rain, well, it just continues to tumble.

I was considering cancelling my class last night, expecting that no one was prepared to come out in the deluge. . . but come they did!

They’re a dedicated lot my ‘Tuesday girls’.

And as the pelting rain lashed against the window the girls were madly sewing. . .

We had a ‘hoot, hoot’ of a night [giggle].

In an attempt to stay dry today I’m back in my gumboots and doin’ the gumboot shuffle between the house and the studio. Is it just me or are these babies kind of hard to walk in? 

Anyhoo, I’m in the studio today and keeping my hands busy with work on the new Christmas Collection. I’ve got a different Christmas theme this year. . . would anyone like to guess what it is?
