Recently....

 

Liv and I had lunch (her choice of KFC), enjoyed the sunshine while sitting on the grass, and had a go on the flying fox. (Well Liv did, I abstained from that pleasure. :-)

 

 

 

I've been sewing like crazy - here are just a few samples of what I've made so far. They are all for ages 6-12 months. It's been a great opportunity while wedding flower work is quiet to concentrate on my other love and stock up my etsy store and get ready for summer markets! These and others will be uploaded in the next couple of days hopefully...

 

 

 

 

I've been reading this book after Bethany recommended it so highly. It is pretty hard-hitting. Now I just need time to digest and work out what changes to put in place in my life. More to come on that point....

 

 

What's been filling your days recently??

 

 

 

Something To Show From My Absence

Well I have been gone awhile. Life just got busy, and blogging took a backseat. Amongst other things, I went on a holiday, finally got my Provisional license, and enjoyed spending Christmas time with my family. I did manage to do a little bit of sewing as well, mainly just making some new summer dresses for Olivia. Being that she is now 8, and a tall girl for her age too, it is often hard to find dresses in the shops for her. So I made her some.

I  like the blue the best. What do you think?

There was a cheeky little girl out with me while I was taking photos who thought it was funny to put the watering can in front of Olivia.

Yes, it was Annaliese. Look at that cheeky face!

Hopefully it won't be as long before I blog again.

Which One Would You Choose?

I purchased a new pattern recently. Once I had made one item from it, I just couldn't stop. :) For starters the skirts are long, modest skirts - always a winner!, and the dresses are long too and with a t-shirt or a skivvy underneath, they're good too, especially as they can be worn in both summer and winter! I can make up to size 8, but the largest I have made so far is 4. Anyway,  as you will see below I've made quite a few, and I'm wondering which one is your favourite! My favourite is the black skirt, and someone must have agreed with me as they bought it! :)

Black and white skirt - Size 2

Corduroy skirt - Size 6-12 months

Blue skirt - Size 2

Blue dress - Size 3

Purple dress - Size 4

Maroon skirts - Size 2

These last ones I made for one of my nieces and one of my sisters. They love them! And they look so cute matching too!
