If you are asking after my darling hubby, then yes he is but he can’t do anything and it is driving him (and me) insane. He is doing silly things like reversing the car out of the garage because he “wants to help” but he twinged a muscle getting Chloë from her cot after her nap the other day and was feeling very sorry for himself.

And you should…[Read more]

Yes, I am grateful and lucky. Who would think that a school with 7 Kinders alone would be a gift? Although there are only 6 classes of 1st and 2nd and 3-5 only have 4 each. (Our Kinders max out at 16 students per class, so it isn’t as huge as you’d think.)

But based on after school behavior today only, if that continues, this was SOOOOOO the…[Read more]

We are still plodding away at the curtains – but I am so itching to sew a garment😳

We are just about finished sewing the curtains for the lounge room and then hopefully we can get onto the tab tops for the sewing room. And we HAVE to put the tinting stuff on the window to save my fabric!

I went to Spotlight yesterday and bought this most amazing…[Read more]

Oh she had totally crossed the line with the secrets thing!! Oh.My.Goodness!! My mum is a teacher and has been for as long as I have been around. She would be absolutely appauled at the things you’ve mentioned about the teacher’s behaviour. You just don’t do those things without some course of communication between the parent, principal and…[Read more]

Oh the scissors. My son came up to me with my office/paper scissors and said they weren’t cutting. I examined them and found sticky gunky tape residue on them. My son is a tape fiend. I told him they wouldn’t cut because they were covered in sticky residue. I watched the light bulb click on over his head. I washed them. I gave him the evil…[Read more]

@caraskates cord can look especially lush if you reverse the nap a la @liesl 🙂

Love the idea of an embellishment challenge.

I have plenty of mash up ideas. They are just stuck in my head for now.

I agree with sateen for choice. It will look slightly dressier also. Don’t be afraid to add a little bit of colour into the mix. Even though my son wore the Christening gown I had already made, I made a silk romper for him to wear to my sister’s wedding the same year, in ivory silk and lightblue mini piping. It was perfect and very manly looking…[Read more]

Hi @caraskates, I think they will look adorable.

I have a tute here http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2011/08/short-cut-sailboat-pants.html if you would like a look at the construction (apologies for the dated graphics, I was in my colour phase)

These are a great trouser to size up, which will give you that longer leg you are…[Read more]

Hello everyone! If all goes as planned we will have the pattern mash-up linky party up on the blog Tuesday January 5th, look out for it then!

I ended up sewing a Garden Party Dress (my first one) in red with gold piping. My girl had been asking for a Garden Party dress for at least 1.5 years! Now she finally has one.
