Winter PJ's.

Here is a pair of PJ's that I have been working on. The colour isn't coming out right on the photo but it is a hot pink flannelette with white spots . I got all tricky and added some white trim to the cuffs and collar. I think it finishes it off nicely! There are a few flaws (nothing major) but still fully usable so I will put them in my shop at a reduced price. I'm very happy with how they turned out and I will be making some for Emily in her size.. You can see them for sale here

Jacket, pants and a girly girl room!!!

Thanks for all your lovely comments! I am very happy to be back sewing again.. I've got some pics to show you. Firstly, the 'bunny rug pants'.. They are nothing special.. just basic pants with two legs LOL.. I've only got a photo of one pair, the other pair is currently being worn by Emily and I don't think she'd appreciate me waking her up right now to take a pic ;)

'BUNNY RUG PANTS'


And just because I think these are so sweet, here is a close up of the print on it..


Here is another project that I have been working on. It is not quite finished yet. Still have to put some buttons (probably toggles) on it. I love it so much. It is a crocheted jacket (der, as if you couldn't tell it was a jacket!!).. I have never crocheted anything other than a square blanket before this!


It is so warm and snuggly.. I had lots of fun making this.. I will get another photo of it all finished and show you what it looks like when it is on. SOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!


I have also been crocheting some beanies. Nothing overly spectacular.. No pics.. I am not happy with any of them at the moment so I have shoved them down the bottom of my knitting bag *blush*..

It has been a busy couple of weeks for us. We painted Emily's bedroom. Now it looks very girlie!! Once she is out of her cot and we get rid of the changetable etc we can start getting her some better furniture.

Here is her room.. of course, when you get your room painted you MUST jump up and down in it, squealing and saying, "Oooh, tippy!!" 'Tippy' means 'pretty' (of course!!).. And you MUST get ANYONE who is within arms reach of you to "come on... tippy.. look.. tippy!!" and we must follow and look at the 'tippy' room once again..


I am in love with green and pink at the moment. I have grand plans of having all white wood furniture for her. After having 2 boys I am loving having lots of PINK everywhere!!

Well, that's about it from me for tonight. I've got a few more projects on the go (I feel like the queen of multi-tasking these days!).. just some winter pj's..

Please don't forget to leave a comment if you stop by.. Happy blogging (or blobbing as I call it! :p)...

Just some bits'n'pieces...

Just thought I'd pop in some pics of some things that I have made.. These are some PJ pants that I made from some 'Dora' satin that I had left over from making a pillowcase. They are not really crooked on the leg, she is just standing wonky!! I also made some more pants out of some old flannelette bunny rugs.. I was going through her drawers cleaning out what fits etc and I couldn't bear to just get rid of them. They feel so snuggly and warm. I will get some pics and post them soon.





This is a cute little reversible tunic top that I made from a vintage pattern. I didn't read the instructions properly so it didn't turn out too well.. You can just see the other fabric underneath. I think it was a 'challenge' fabric awhile ago.. It has been sitting in my stash for ages.. Oh yeah, I made the capri's she is wearing too.. I made them sometime last year.. They are really good for the hot weather up here!!
