WIP - Sorry house work - you are not invited to this party!

Well - I have descided that Friday's are going to be Work In Progress Day's. Starting Today.
This means that I have to pull out something that I have started (so yes one of those many UFO's) and complete it or at least do something on it. And as you could imagine I have got so many things that I have STARTED and then just put aside that it really isn't funny. In all seriousness I could possibly not walk into a craft/fabric shop for a whole year and still have something in my house to work on - Humm now that is a bit naughty isn't it. Lucky for Tim we are moving to the middle of no where next year and Spotlight is over an hour away in all directions. Oh but then ther is 'Attic Crafts' in Bendigo and I love 'Attic Crafts'

So this is what I did today. I finished off some Singlet Dresses, Completed 20 Santa Hand Puppets, Stuck eyes on 30 Peg Reindeer and pulled out the knitting that I started the other night.

Well that was a successful day! Wonder what I can achieve next Friday - stay tuned!

Bonds Singlet Dress!

I made Amelia her very own Bonds Singlet Dress. I actually made them for all of her little friends who have recently turned One! But, in true Darwin fashion I was only able to get a few singlets and therefore Amelia had to wait.

I can't wait until she is walking! Dresses look so much more cuter on little girls who are walking and I have so many things that I want to make her - but at the moment, they just end up with dirty knee areas.

Christmas Craft Things

Well this is what I have been busy doing!

Getting ready in prep for the Christmas Market up here. I was so disappointed last year when I attended as a buyer and there was nothing really christmassie!

SPOTLIGHT SALE

Well here is a pic of what I bought at the Spotlight sale. I went a little over board with the wool - but I am telling myself that we will need some knitted items for next year and when it was only 50cents a ball, well I couldn't really leave it there could I!

I also purchased some material - well 15 metres actually. I think that I can justify my spending by saying that next year I will have to drive over an hour away to go to a Spotlight or other craft store. And the wool will still be in my stach so I will have something to do.

My Op Shop finds!

Well what fun I had at the op shop the other day. Here is a few pics of my finds. By the looks of it none of the patterns have actually ever been used! I love the 1970's little dress.

The Sewing Machine is out of Retirement!...

Hi well I ahve been busy - not sewing but entertaining visitors. We have had both sets of Grandparents up for Amelia's first birthday. It was great to have them up - but needless to say I didn't get much sewing or crafting done!

As it is with your children's birthdays and MG's - all of the children you know have their birthdays at the same time. So for the girls I descided to make little dresses!

I turned a Bonds singlet into a dress and I want to make some more - But it is so hard to find the singlets up here (grrrr!)

I also made Amelia a pair of Ingrid's 'easy pants and added some stitching etc to a target top. She looks very cute in it - but of course wouldn't sit still long enough for me to take a pic. (so you all get to see a crawling baby instead!)

MY LITTLE FAMILY

Ok. The Essential Baby girls have asked for Photos of our Families.

So here they are.
