I lay awake on Monday night, with the tension of the week looming ahead, the promises of tasks to be done and dreams to be actioned and I wondered how I could get to today- how I would let out that sigh of relief, look forward to my Friday night of wine and TV shows I’ve saved and a weekend ahead- this weekend will be quiet but I’m looking forward to it. What are your plans dear readers?

Thank you for your patience as we’ve been ironing out little bugs since we moved the site- .com.au readers we’re back up and running! We have a few exciting things happening in Polka Dot land! The first is the lovely Alicia, who has been filling Polka Dot Made with beautiful DIY projects will be joining us formally next week as our Polka Dot Made contributing editor. She’ll be posting projects and fresh tutorials once a fortnight- written just for Polka Dot Made! I’m so excited because the dreams I had for my little site are slowly coming to fruition!

In case you’ve missed the action around the Polka Dot sites this week, here’s a recap!
