Christmas past

Hello and Merry Christmas, though it is now Christmas past!

We had a wonderful Christmas day here, filled with family, friends, food, laughter and of course, presents. The day was gorgeous and sunny, perfect for swimming and relaxing on the patio.

My oldest daughter organised all four kids to have some photos taken and then framed them and gave them to my husband and I and also the grandparents for Christmas. The photo's are beautiful and it was such a thoughtful, special gift.

How beautiful are my children? I am not biased in the slightest, of course!

I am enjoying four days off work (my part time job at Target) and the opportunity to get some sewing done. I have several things in the pipeline at the moment, stay tuned.

I hope everyone has had a great Christmas and is relaxed and refreshed for the New Year.

Baby Goth

Although it's not yet completely finished, I couldn't wait to add a photo of my latest work, a custom outfit for Candice's baby girl.

I just need to add some shoulder straps in the black and white dots and it will be done.

Mr Noodlehead

After finding a wonderful site called Spoonflower, I designed some fabric last night which I can't wait to use! I designed it using a picture my 7 year old son drew, a picture I absolutely love. Mr Noodlehead (as we called him!) was the basis of the pattern, then I added the stars, bunny and the broken heart. The pattern will be repeated over the entire fabric in a half-drop format.

Saturday and still no pics!!

Don't you hate those days when you just can't get it together and the whole day just flashes by with nothing achieved? I've had several like that lately. So the outfit is still unfinished and of course, there are no pics. :(

On the upside, I have a couple of orders for baby outfits! Both are for brand new babies - one for a baby girl and the other yet to be born.

On the downside, I am taking a car load of junk to the local Rotary car boot sale tomorrow morning, so I will probably get nothing done tomorrow either.

Shortbread cookies and click beetles!!

Well, it's 11.30pm (Qld time) and I'm sitting here watching a click beetle flip around the kitchen whilst waiting for the batch of shortbread cookies I just whipped up to finish cooking. I realised at about 10.30 that I didn't have a present organised for the kids to give to their teachers tomorrow. So here I am!

I've nearly finished my latest outfit, pics tomorrow. Off to bed for me now.

Stockinged feet

Well, after a very hectic day - and more still to come! - I've finally taken photos of my latest Christmas set. Check out my Facebook page for details.
