@motherof5 – how exciting! Although to seat 12, I envision a bus more than a van!

We’re having a warm winter. We broke a record of latest date with no snow. It was 12/3. The weather pattern holds and they don’t expect even a trace until mid December.

This is bad news weather wise for us. We sit on the eastern edge of a Great Lake. Those…[Read more]

Tonight, I made one lazy days and one onstage tutu. Earlier in the week I made 10 in a clutch. Last week I made 3 hopscotch, and have 1 in progress, 2 fabric baskets in progress, and another onstage tutu in progress.

I really ought to get some photos up.

But we are going away for 6 days mid December, so I lose a week to prepare for the…[Read more]

Thank you, Helena! I saw this a few days ago but my computer was wonky and wouldn’t let me reply on these message boards. Anyway I saw that they ship to the U.S. but then I found a pair on eBay so we are all set (they are not quite mustard yellow, more sunny, but it seems that other family members have gone the sunny route so we won’t stand…[Read more]

I did four hours of ironing last night.
Slightly less enamoured of it at present.

We are heading into very hot weekend, 40d+.
Thank goodness for our swimming pool.

I get very nervous as we live on the edge of a National Park, bush fire risk is always there.

I have some very exciting news. My husband purchased me a van for Christmas.
I have been researching then for two years and I am so excited to have one.
It seats 12 adults…[Read more]

How kind of you Helena.

I finished Trixie’s turn of the sewing rota and I am getting stuck into Tildy’s.

I drafted off the School Bus tee, size 4 with the length of a 7.

What are you sewing now? 🙂

It is a size 10 but will fit a size 12.

A play dress up for grabs

It has been worn by two children but has no stains or tears. Yellow is not Tildy’s colour, it clashes with her hair.

Oh this is fun! So many wonderful offerings but my girl is already wearing size 8 (sniff sniff!)

I’ll have to go through my daughter’s O+S items and see what is too small for her (then I’ll be back).

I”ve more or less completed the Christmas doll sewing (more or less because I still vaguely want to make a few accessories to go with the outfits – I really need to start making sewing plans so that I don’t waste so much time wondering what to start on next). I’m simultaneously trying to plan my kids’ outfits for the large family portrait we are…[Read more]
