Amazing Amelia

 

Amelia, dressed in her cape for the last day of term. They spent the term learning about Hero's and finished it off with Superhero's

Here is the belt detail

Of course Baden the Brave could not miss out.  A boy and a cape is dangerous business.

 I used this tutorial and I think they make a great safe cape for children.

No-one...

was there to stop me...

I guess I have some knitting to do.  Fingers crossed that we do get that southern posting.


Will pop back in with pattern plans.

Hello...

Pretty Flower...

Are you the one giving me hay fever at the moment?

The bugs...

and the bees seem to like you.

This week I am grateful for tissues with aloe vera, telfast and eucalyptus balls and to have a husband home and children that allowed me to have a sleep in on the first day of the holidays.

Hope that you are all having a great weekend.  Joining in with Maxabella.

My Creative Space...

There is lots of finishing happening in my space today.  Will share photos tomorrow - I put myself under the pump.

Tonight, I will be turning this into a Super Hero Girl Costume for a Spuer Hero Girl who goes by the name of 'Amazing Amelia' 

Any tips on how to attatch this?

Hottie...

I was lucky (or quick enough) to be one of the first 20 people to comment on Cam's blog post and nab a spot in the Hottie Challenge.

Mine is finished and being Express Posted tonight to Melbourne with the hope (fingers crossed) that it will get to The Hottie Challenge/CurlyPops Headquarters before Thursday.

So here it is.  I had lots of fun doing this and thinking of what I was going to do.  I felted a thrifted vest that I picked up whilst opshopping last year (with the plans for big things) 

Blanket Stitching and a  crochet flower, complete with original zip that doubles as it's opening. 

This hottie is functional and hoping that it will keep someone warm on a cool night.

I am going to have to head back to the opshops and see if I can find another one so I can make one for us.

The Hottie Challenge is raising funds for The Margaret Pratt Foundation, which raises funds for Heart Lung Transplant Trust.

If you are in Melbourne, I would suggest getting yourself down to the opendraw between  Friday July 1 to Sunday July 24, 2011 to check them all out.  They are going to sold - fingers crossed someone likes mine to pay $$$ for it:)

A Birthday Apron

A little apron for one of Amelia's little friends 5th Birthday. 

Amelia helped to choose the fabric (I was told "She is my friend, I will descide"  - What am I in for?) 

I finished it off with a set of matching hair ties and a little bought baking kit.

I used this great tutorial and will have to make another one for Miss Amelia before the school holidays.

A little on the COOL side...

I know that you are all going to think that I am nuts.

Yes I do live in QLD, but we are experiencing a rather early and cool start to winter and yesterday had the coldest day in the capitals history since 1916.  What has happened to Global Warming I ask.

I went to pick Amelia up from school and her little lips were all shades of blue.  Our buildings and homes are not designed for this type of weather (it topped out at 12 degrees)

What was a Mum to do before she went to bed on Thursday night when she caught the weather report at 9.30pm reporting that we would be in for a weekend of rain and similar weather?  Sit and make her a blue beanie to wear of course.

The maroon one would have clashed with her blue uniform.
