More pants

I made these for Charlotte yesterday. I love making them because they are so quick and easy.

Matching Pants

I have actually sewn something for Lucy. Being such a dribbly, chucky baby I decided she needed separate pants and tops so only half an outfit needs changing. So I grabbed a pair of pants she already had and made these. Had plenty of fabric left so whipped up a pair of pants for Charlotte to wear around the house over winter. Excuse the mess behind them!

A Rainy Anzac Day

Charlotte did this drawing at pre-school before Easter but it didn't surface until this week. I really loved it and decided to make it into a softie for her. So I made it today while she has been out with some of the fabric from the kitchen swap from Ingrid. I really should have been making Charlotte some pre-school clothes as she doesn't seem to have anything now the weather has turned a bit colder but this was fun!

Snail for Samuel

Now that Bec has received the snail I made for Samuel I can show it off here. I was extremely happy with this one made from a Michael Miller fabric with some cellophane inside to make it crinkly and also some chennile circles for texture. I loved him.

Cushion

This is one of the cushions I have been working on. It is a Alexander Henry cowgirl print on one side and brown cord on the other. I am really happy with how it turned out. It is 50cmx50cm

so quite large.

EB Kitchen Swap

As part of the EB Kitchen Swap Charlotte and I were extremely lucky to receive 2 beautiful aprons from Ingrid. Here we are modelling them, you can just glimpse the Lemon Meringue Pie cooling on the stove.

EB Kitchen Swap

Here are some pics of the swap parcel I sent to Helen
It included a vintage apron for her, a potholder and some fabric I hope she can find some use for. I also sent the Grace and Millie an apron and a placemat with chalkboard fabric on the reverse for drawing (sorry the piece of chalk was a bit small but it was all we had). I popped a set of peg dolls in for Grace's birthday next week as well.

The Wiggles

Last night we went to our friend Marshy's 40th birthday party as The Wiggles. Unfortunately Lucy had a big meltdown so we only got 1 photo as Jeff left early to take her home. To all those who were there she has been a nabsolute angel today and slept last night from when she got home until 4.00am this morning.

The photos from above left: The Wiggle; Charlotte on the jumping castle; Ash serenading Michelle; Sonny, Cher and Gene Simmons; the Construction Worker from the Village People and Meatloaf.

We had a great night and a big thanks to Steve and Maria who hosted the party.
