Happy first birthday to little Josephine!

My baby girl is one month old today! Doesn’t seem like its been a month though – it just goes so fast.

I used to go to the local craft group when my eldest was little. It got too hard and some of the old ducks didnt cope well stitching around a toddler. So I stopped going until she started kindergarten…[Read more]

Really? That makes me so happy, thank you!
PS (I love your name, I wanted a Mimi)

@NCMimi, great idea.
I found we had to have a ‘system’ to get the Jumprope dress on my little girl, she had a big head.
She soon learned the ‘procedure’ 🙂

I love your dress.

I saw this advertised on Foxtel whilst I was in hospital. It looks fantastic, I wish we could get it. 🙁

I wonder if she found the shoulder fit a wee bit snug…..

I made this for my daughter and, as per usual, sized back and added length. It was a bit of a tug around the shoulders but fine once on.

Perhaps try a knit or a cotton poplin with some stretch?

@jay_1965vw Yes, Northern Virginia. A meet-up would be fun! I don’t have many sewing friends here 🙂

That is a genius idea! I am totally stealing it for my girls – the oldest one in particular would love to design a wardrobe.

Really @Sarvi, that is so exciting, thank you!

I *finally* posted it off to its new owner.

Oh sounds like Centrelink here! Rediculous! And because they have merged Medicare with Centrelink its even more pathetic! Good luck with the social security card Jay and the house sounds as though its one you will be happy in. Hope you manage to get a nice car also.

Have to add redoing the elastic in one leg of the heather ross bubble I made Chloe – dont ask me what happened because it was working last time she wore it! First though it needs to be washed ans soaked in napisan!

@roundtheworldgirl I have a press but must not have applied those two parts correctly – the has to be allowance for stuff ups.

@jay_1965vw good luck on the house hunt. I actually live in the NoVa area (recently returned from four years overseas). I hope you enjoy your time here!
