la de da


well I have been procrastinating a little bit, I have a few orders that need sewing but I have been on a dress buzz, I picked up some funky material at an op shop that I have been dying to do something with, so I finally made up a dress last night for willow, very old fashioned looking, with puffy sleeves and high neck but o so cute!


I did make a wee bolero to go with it, but it really didn't , but never mind.

Willow looked so cute wearing hr dress out today, it was such a beautiful day here we went for big walks and enjoyed the sunshine.


Miss W fell asleep just as we arrived home so I made a wee pinny for her with a wee toadstool on it.she loved it! I was suprised! so quick and easy I may need to make some more.
There is a pile of orders here, but instead of being practical and getting them out of the way I decided I would tackle the falling apart kiddie couch.
argh I wish I hadn't! next time I will throw it out and buy a new one!
I did manage to recover it but it was a nightmare, and it looks a little bit dodgy. but never mind.
AND i am doing the Diary 2010 project, so yay, I only have a day or two to design my page so I better get cracking...
right off to make lunches, put breakie stuff out and make sure uniforms are ready to go for tomorrow then i plan on collapsing into bed :) goodnight everyone.

Tiger Hats



Last night I decided to do something useful with my time and made a tiger hat.


I bought the fleece online awhile ago and its been sitting there staring at me, willing me to make it into something.


So here it is ...
I took my Willow out today (supermarket shopping, scary stuff) wearing it and we got so many looks!
so i think I might make some more soon. I did manage to get sucked into the radar of fabric vision on the way home and just had to go in and buy more material , some lovely bright yellow, so if I have any energy left after the kids are in bed then I'm thinking of making some giraffes.
I really do need to stop going into fabric shops, it seems I am incapable of browsing.
