Funky Flower Pants!!!

I love this fabric. It is a lightweight drill (I think).. I love the colours and flowers.. I love the style of the pants.. When I made them they were the perfect fit. I was waiting for the cooler weather to hit so she could get to wear them. Finally when she gets the opportunity to wear them I find that she has had a growth spurt and they are now too short!!! NOOOOOOO!!!! I will most likely put them up for sale in my shop soon..



(no, she wasn't in trouble in this photo LOL.. she was either not co-operating or playing hide and seek!!)

Chocolate and Strawberry.

Time for me to do a catch up post. I have made a few things but keep forgetting to blog about them (tsk tsk!!) Here is a cross over top that I made. I think a few of my sewing friends have made it too. I have had the pattern for ages but couldn't find the fabric that was just right for it.. anyway, I eventually found this gorgeous fabric and whipped up this top the following evening. It was so quick to make. The binding gets a little fiddly but once you get started it's easy to finish up. I LOVE pink and brown (can't ever say no to pink!!).. I call it 'chocolate and strawberry' colours LOL..

I have no idea why she was posing like this.. LOL!!


Again, no idea why she flaps her arms about when the camera comes out LOL..


Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and well wishes about Emily's arm. She is fine now. Plaster came off on Friday and she is madly flapping her arms around so I don't think there is any permanent damage..

My poor baby has a 'fling' on her arm!!!

My baby has an injury! :(... Poor little princess has a strained elbow muscle. She will have the plaster on for a few days. It is mainly to make her a bit more comfortable because when she moves it it hurts.



So, that is what's been happening here.. Not much sewing happening.. A certain 2.5yr old has dropped her day sleeps now so I only get to sew at night and lately I haven't had the energy to do that.. I've got heaps I want to do but no time to do it.. Better sign off now..

Girls weekend away...

I have just been on a girls weekend away. It was so much fun. The location and good friends makes for a perfect time!! I must admit, staying up until 4:30 in the morning and getting up at 7:30am does not do great things for me for the rest of the week... I made these bags to give to each of my friends to take home as a memento of our weekend together. It was tedious but fun to make them. I had a bit of a production line happening LOL. The girls loved them! I would love to make one for myself but I don't think I could face making another for awhile LOL.. Everyone else made or bought something to add to our 'goodie bag'.. I will take a photo of what I received and post it later... These are the bags I made..



On the weekend away our friends parents took us on a champagne cruise on their yacht. It was absolutely gorgeous! The weather was perfect! Here is a photo that I took whilst out on the yacht.. Not the best pic but I like it anyway!
