    Yes, that was my idea but I underestimated how much I’d need. Shoukd have gotten a 2 metre table instead of a 1.5m but there is such a thing as an add on. It is just a matter of getting to IKEA to do it.

    The field trip is a pattern I am yet to sew for Chloë but I am looking forward to doing one. She needs basics now but I just can’t help sewing…[Read more]

    I have just had the biggest surprise! My own lively baby, aged nine months has taken it upon herself to stand UNAIDED! If but for about five seconds! I don’t know if I should laugh or cry😱😩 my older babies never bothered doing this until closer to their first birthday😕

    Mardee isn’t theatre work fabulous?! I worked on a voluntary basis in my late teens for an Opera company and it was the best fun (but unfortunately not in costuming). It can be long days though – my sil studied at NIDA in production management and toured with Cats through Asia (again not with costuming). I just love theatre in general! But what a…[Read more]

    @dubhels2003 night feeder here also, so definitely not alone (and again don’t feel lonely). So glad you popped in to say hi and fill us in on what has been happening. Once things settle down further, I am sure sewing will return – everything needs some adjustment time I guess.

  • Well done, you should feel very proud.

  • Wow! It looks perfect! So glad the experience was a lot less painful than first thought😀

    Hi Mardee

    Such a lot of wonderful sewing ideas and what a huge project in the quilt! I have quilted table quilts and a bedquilt (which was really a large lap quilt) each for my two older children. It all depends on the design of quilting you go for. I searched through Leah Day’s site (freemotion quilting project) for ideas and tutorials of the…[Read more]

    I take it the maiden voyage was a huge success then😜 I am thrilled you have had the chance to sew, let alone finish the project. Hip hip hooray! Have you had the chance to put it on flickr yet? Need to go looksee.

    I have been sewing the two bubble dresses I had planned for this week but hit a slight snag. The front outer skirt was a tad longer…[Read more]

  • @AmyF I really hope it comes together for you. I was going to say measuring the back of the little girl you are sewing for would enable you to make sure you need to adjust in that area. Sometimes little girls can carry upper body weight – everyone is different in how they develop.

    You will post pictures when it is done won’t you? Wishing you a…[Read more]

  • @motherof5 Nicole, yes I found it in the ‘free from’ section of my supermarket along with all the other special diet ingredients. I know it is in health food shops as well.
    I really enjoyed the cake and didn’t miss the sugar. My husband said it wasn’t sweet enough for him. But he has 3 sugars in his tea and sugar on his cereal so his expectations…[Read more]
