The cowboy outfits reminds me of the illustrations in my nursery books, very retro and cute.
I adore vintage patterns too.

I know I mentioned it earlier but I have had huge success from eBay, to the degree I have more then I need.
I am debating purchasing a 5m for $25 now as I don’t need it straight away but it is such an excellent price for cotton/lycra (and this stuff is wide, 160cm+)

You could set up a search and browse when feeding.
I would be very happy to send…[Read more]

I had this conversation with my mother, I wanted her to remove a zipper from the side and put it in the back so my dress was easier to get on.
This resulted in a lecture on bad underwear and no patience. She refused to do it, said it would spoil the dress line and to give myself more time getting dressed.

If you watch some older movies, they…[Read more]

Mine only uses nutmeg Tamara. I will type up the recipe a bit later. It is very easy, just a bit of prepping.

Hurrah!

Just sent you a message Nicole – it’s yours!

Kedgeree before and after

@vothgirl, I will email you my recipe, lots of cream and butter but very child friendly.
Don’t bother eating it, just stick it straight on your bum, that it where it will end up 😉

I only make it on special occasions.

Sweet potatoes, excellent!

@motherof5 the kedgeree looks interesting! I’ve never heard of it before, one of the things I love about this thread. And yes, yams = sweet potatoes (they may be different plants but for all intents and purposes are interchangeable in recipes). I would imagine the sweetness of the yams plays nicely against the sharp salty Gruyere :-).

Yum Ladies, I will try those.
What are yams? Like Potatoes?

I make Kedgeree for breakfast https://www.google.com.au/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Kedgeree&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&gfe_rd=cr&ei=jdadVJCzHqqg8wefzIGQBA , I prep it the night before and cook it, then I just have to re-heat it in the oven in the morning. This years had 3 kg of smoked haddock…[Read more]

Janice, I LOVE my girl’s wearing other people’s sewing hand-me-downs. If no one closer claims it, I would love it and I will pay postage/combine with a fabric order from your shop.
Tildy loves Julia, she would be so excited to have it.

Trixie has so many hand sewn and knitted items from all her sewing Aunties. It is very very special.

I’d love to donate this jacket – probably worn once – to one of my fellow O+S lovers – https://www.flickr.com/photos/janice4839/12080595775/ – it was already on the small size, and my kid is NOT fan of the collar. It really looks brand new. I believe it’s a straight size 4 (if I believe my own blog post) – here -…[Read more]

@cybele727 oh man, you had me at Gruyere! That sounds amazing.

I made poteca (pronounced po-TEE-tsah) for our Christmas breakfast – it’s what my dad’s family had for Christmas breakfast every year as he grew up and it was passed on. My husband was more than happy to continue such a delicious tradition. Basically, it’s a filled & rolled sweet pastry. The recipe is very similar to this one:…[Read more]

Merry Christmas to one and to all!
Hard to believe this year’s at its last call.
Ribbons and papers…

I make this immensely popular dish 3 times a year– Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. It is very very rich and frankly would kill you if you ate it more often.

The recipe comes from our big local chain, which has a weird cult like following.…[Read more]
