Just a little something that brightened my day :)

I stumbled upon this website today and I love the styles of patterns and cute little tutorials! So I thought I'd share

Few things I've made

Just a quick one to show you a couple of pictures of things I've been making along the way.  I quite enjoyed making the pot holders, great for using odd bits of material you have lying around. I just used some denim to sandwich between the material so you can hold those scorching pots no worries :)


Here is an upcycled top I made for a lovely friend, I added the frills and the buttons - got rid of the sleeves, was a bit of a nanna top previously ;)


And a simple skirt for a good friend's daughter. Her favourite colour is pink - she also enjoyed the little strawberries!!!

I have a few ideas for the next couple of projects - a few are to do with Alfie (baby's inside name) and a pair of shorts for husband.  Also things like curtains... pictures for his room!

So I'll be blogging again soon

Back to blogging after a long hiatus

Finally I'm back on the blog. I blame one thing for this long absence- Alfred. Who is Alfred? Alfred is the baby that is living inside my uterus and for the past 3 months has been causing havoc with my ability to eat certain foods, stay awake, everything!!!

I quite quickly became a couch potato which worried me, I had all these pictures in my head of giant obese women who have to be chairlifted out of their house...was this what was coming? All I wanted to eat was chips in any form hot or cold.

Then I hit 19th week and began to feel like the old me. It was really exciting ;) I can now eat my old faves and have the energy to create and SEW!

So I hope someone out there still is reading.... I've made a few things that I'll blog about in the upcoming weeks!
