Sock it to you!

Well I have a bad case of sockitis happening here! Have started two sets of which one of each is still sitting on the needles unfinished and not keeping anyones feet warm.

So in the hope of getting one set finished on Tim's feet I made myself a little bag to carry them in and not get tangled and recked in the bottom of my daily bag with all the other bits and pieces I seem to have lost in the bottom!

The pattern is available free from Crazy Lanea

The fabric is Aunty Cookie and was purchased from Meet Me at Mikes last year. I love it and would love to get my hands on some more.

A little bit of sewing!

I thought that this deserved it's own post

I DID SEWING!

Yes don't fall off of your chairs, I actually managed to sit at the sewing machine and start and finish something. It feels so good and oh it has been so long since I have been able to say that.

So here is a twirling skirt for Amelia.

The pattern is Little Hip Skirt from Favourite Things
The material was an opshop find from last year and I teamed it with yellow and white polkadot fabric.

Next time I make it I will sew the elastic into the back piece only, making it a smooth front waist band.

If you went down to the Woods today!

You may have just found a little girl celebrating her 3rd Birthday.

Yes, Amelia turned 3 (please tell me where the years are flying too!)

We had a little teddy bears picnic in the park with a few of her little friends.
Everyone had a lovely time. Teddy Bears were the flavour of the day and I used a teddy bear cutter for everything. The kids had teddy bear biscuits, teddy bear sandwiches, fruit platter and a few other little nibbles yumm! Oh and the teddy bear cake (which melted on the way - thankfully we dont live in Darwin this year or we would have been scrapping the icing off of the board LOL

On My Desk...

I thought that I would start to get into some every week things, anyway to get me back into blogging and crafting. It is Amelia's 3rd birthday in just over a week and this is what is sitting on my desk this morning,

Invites to her teddy bears picnic in the park. Too cute.

Make Believe give Away...

Would you like your chance to win this gorgeous little outfit for the princess in your life?
Well you had better get over to Grosgrain before Monday to be in for a chance. I am in love and think that Amelia would love it. She is starting to do alot of pretend play at the moment and this would be great to add to the fancy dress and make believe dress up box.

Spring has Sprung

Look at what I found in our gardenIsn't he/she cute - oh I love lady bugs - will have to work out how to make it a little banner for my blog (if anyone has any great tips that would be great - I have no idea with html and computer stuff)

But sorry - you are not invited. I think that I have a case of cabbage moth in almost plague quantities. I peeled this one off and about 60 of his friends and gave them the 'under to boot treatment' and they are back again after just two days. This means war grubbidy grub
Hoping to get some knitting and sewing done in the next few weeks - will have to go and pull out that list and work out what i would like to do. Would love to sew some new dresses for Amelia for summer.

Work in Progress - catching up

First up some of the finished creations that managed to make there way off of my needles in the past few months.

A jumper for me - which works out that it is too big - tension correct - but the wool is just too think and bulky for my tiny frame A jumper for a friends little born (remember the one born in a hurry?) All that chocolate cake and coffee paid off A pair of socks to work out how to do them And my current WIP's A pair of socks for Tim and teaching myself how to crochet
