This morning I made a start on the 2+2 blouse while Chloe was enjoying herself practising her new trick on the floor – rolling over slowly without surprise but with big smiles.

I was planning to take a photo of her wearing her (mismatched) rainbow hopscotch dress and hot pink playtime leggings, but I realised I had only stuck the label on. So I…[Read more]

This is cute and the boys look like an elegant tied version.

Oh she is used to it Fiona! And she actually sleeps well through it. I just got carried away when she wasn’t in deep sleep either that or she didn’t go to sleep – which happens occasionally.

Yes they are all for her because my big kids have outgrown Oliver and s and right now are preferring bought things (if I can find them to fit) but I hope to…[Read more]

I didn’t end up going and postponed all appointments til next week. I just feel really tired at the moment and have been keeping an eye on the health situation. But the plan is to definitely go to Spotlight as the chances of needing something are higher now I am sewing like mad.

I managed to actually find some patterns they actually stocked the…[Read more]

Oh a wedding is so exciting! How fun and thankyou for telling us all about the big news! My hubby rang my parents who were out to “ask” if he could marry me! He was so nervous he just blurted out over the phone “can I please marry your daughter?” To which the reply was “which one?” Because I have a sister you see but of course they knew which one…[Read more]

They have programs like this available to school children at Perth Zoo during the summer school holidays. You have to book well in advance though.

It sounds like Elsa had a rewarding experience Nicole.

How fun, Nicole! When I was still in school in Sydney I did my work experience at my local veterinarian’s office – but was then selected out of students from all over the city to do a week of work experience at Taronga Zoo! Being an Assistant Zookeeper in the African mammals section was and still is one of the highlights of my life ;).

I am enjoying my self imposed blindness to the state of my house and having a long weekend of sewing bliss! Who cares? it will be here Tuesday!

Anyway, I have successfully completed the hopscotch dresses and promptly dressed Chloe in the pink striped one with a freshly sewn pair of pink leggings (playtime) after she woke from her morning…[Read more]

Heidi did you recieve an email regarding some sort of bungle with one of the Colette patterns? A scam or something? I didn’t read it properly because time has been lacking of late.

On my sewing table are still the hopscotch dresses still to be hemmed and also some pairs of playtime leggings, mostly in different shade of pink because I want to…[Read more]

Congratulations Audrey.:)

Just picked up my daughter, Elsa, (15) from work experience at an animal reserve.

She handled everything from pythons to possums and even minded a monkey!

Then perhaps consider a cloth with some stretch.
I made a maternity version in wool spandex and it gave me quite a bit of ease.

(I would post a link but I am worried the whole photo would appear and no one needs to see that huge belly here)

Don’t you love when the fabric gets to decide?

After a busy few days I am still yet to complete the hopscotch dresses. Just the hems to do though.

I pulled out my basket of knit remnants and have been fishing through sorting them out by colour. It is the project for the long weekend, to try and use up as much of it as I can with the playtime…[Read more]
