Lotta, what a thoughtful thing to do, thank you. I have downloaded and will print them all onto card stock, then cut out inside the lines to place over fabric to help granddaughter imagine what each outfit will look like finished.

Also going to give her mum a copy so they can work out next seasons wardrobe. Great way to build a wardrobe and…[Read more]

Tamara, I am in Sydney and have ordered many times from Shaukat, their delivery is quite fast between 1-2 weeks. Ordered material from Rocywoods in USA, still waiting that was 12 weeks ago.

I was thinking of Book Report dress with plain pink on the bottom as Miss Fussy’s birthday is the end of February.

Congratulations on your beautiful new…[Read more]

Thanks Justine. Good thing hubby has golf today followed by bbq lunch. He won’t see how much I bring home. Hi ho hi ho its off to the shops I go.

Nicole, I hope the fires are not in your area. You will definitely need that pool with all the high temperatures you are getting. Stay safe and cool (if thats possible) . I hope all the girls in Victoria are also safe and have a cool spot.

Sarvi the zipper insertion looks interesting, only wish I could read german. Is it stitch onto the main fabric, then the lining placed over the top and stitch again? Might have to try this.

My husband works in Martin Place and I have been nagging him to go to the Lindt store for christmas supplies, so glad he didn’t have time.

Well done kahawa101. We also have another little gem “the long drop” which refers to toilets usually out in the bush. Its a very deep hole with a little shed built over the top and a toilet set. Not very hygienic, extremely smelly and the flies in the summer are unbelievable.

We lived in Samoa for a few years and long drops are very common in…[Read more]

Justsewit, so sorry to hear about fil’s passing, such a sad time for you all. Its a shame he didn’t get to meet his newest grandchild.

Can anyone guess what these Aussie words mean, sanga, snag and loo.

Nicole, really miss both of them, both born in Singapore and we only see them once or twice a year, but they Skype every weekend, which is really great.

My daughter moves to Singapore…[Read more]
