Thats right... I love this one!

I made mum a bag for christmas, its the Wasp bag that I made a few months back from the very clever machen machen, there is a link in my older post about the wasp bag..

I found some fabulous fabric from spotlight with phoenix's on it..I lurve it!



I used metallic thread to topstitch the bag....OMG what a pain in the rear... not something I would choose to do again in a hurry...

Ok just dooo ittt!!!

Jeebus it has been ages since I have updated anything...I have been such a slacker since Christmas. I didn't want to put anything up until I had given everyone their gifts...
Anyhoo it is late so I will try to make sense..

I got the Olivia pattern FINALLY and I love it, so cute and so easy and so fun to make...
I made one in a size 2 and the other in a size 6ish..

Quinn was really not happy to model a dress for me.... poor kid the things he does for his mama..!





I can see me making lots more of these......


I made for the little brother of the first Olivia a pair of Ottobre Aqua shorts, they come together really nice..

I am sure I have made more over the last month I just need to think...haha

New years resolution...

Is to update my blog...!

Boys Birthday Pressy.. Circus time :)

I try to make presents rather than go out and buy plastic cheap crap that will last a week, so for a little boy turning 3 I made a circus outfit..
I made these shorts last week after finding this gorgeous circus fabric from Spotty, then appliquéd a plain yellow T.. I think the out fit looks great aside from the issues I had with the appliqué...hmmm


The applique goes from the front around to the back..
note to self- avoid appliqué on the sleeve of an already constructed garment!! duh...

Goodies

I found some goody mushroom goodness from spotlight today.. and some cute circus fabric.. there was so much yummy stuff that I want but I think maybe I should make to sell some stuff so I can go buy more..haha
STOKED!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Grocery Bag

Grocery bags I think are going to be on my christmas list, I think these are better than the green bags, aside from being more enviro friendly they are space economical too.. :)
Here is a LINK..
And here are some pics....




My pattern piece, next time I think I will use a bigger bag..

WaLah...
Don is starting to call me the bag lady...he aint seen nuthin yet!!!

How...

Gorgeous and grown up is my big girl... I was going through the school newsletter today and have to fill in her book list for next year and it only just hit that she is going to be in grade 3 next year... OMG!!

I remember being in grade 3, I met people I am still so close with... I might hunt down some old pics when I go to mum and dads next..
