The Dress!












I had a lovely time away with the girls two weekends ago now. I had a productive time sewing this little number for my little girl. Its simplicity style 5695 view A made in size two. The yoyo details on the front are an extra touch. I loved making it and plan to make more! I'm off to the craft room now - lucky me!

Well i'm off for the weekend to spend a weekend doing craft with 5 other like minded ladies. Here are some photoes of us last retreat. I plan to sew my nearly two year old girl a pretty summer dress. Perhaps for me a summer hat!

A Day at the Show!



We had a lovely day at the stitches and craft show today in Sydney. I had my 20 month old daughter with me and we prammed our way through the show. I was so pleased this year that they had special parking for people with pushers. Extremely considerate of the organisers compared to last year. Heres my stash off goodies purchased today. I hope to return Saturday child free to enjoy more.

Its finished!






I have finally finished a cardi which i was knitting for my daughter. Its taken me just over two months and i'm just thrilled with how it turned out. Oh well she will get 4 weeks of August to wear it. I will have to start her winter cardi for next year well in advance of the fall of Autumn.

Blogging for dummies

I feel so embarressed that its taken me 2 months to write my second entry. I borrowed Blogging for Dummies from the library (yes they do exist) and i hope to work through a few technical issues.
