havent been around much....

dont know if anyone reads this because i dont get many replies lately when i post..


kind of lost my sewjo lately and havent really been bothered besides the odd repair job for DP here and there. but an friend has recently commissioned me to make some baby clothes and stuff for a baby due this year in winter sometime so now i am on the hunt for links to some great baby ideas as well as patterns for some practical baby clothes.

kind of getting excited to get back to sewing. just need some more needles and to pull out my fabric or buy some more and i will be back posting on this blog in no time!

keep your eyes peeled :p

If Georgia lost all her curls...

lol, i straightened her hair today (calm down lol, i did it on the lowest setting and only on the ends after using a hair dryer on the cool setting...i wouldnt dream of burning her) and she looks like a different girl...too funny

who's a lucky girl then....?

i love DP and i love my christmas/birthday present. its so purdy.....<3 its really cool to use and i love it alot. i will get real pics soon, its awesome. DP is awesome. :p

i also got this baby, have to say me luffs it. DP said he was sick of me stealing his razors LOL. its really cool. but now i have to wait another few weeks to use it again lol...i think nearly every part of me is hairfree :p

My weakness....

so on the way home last monday from meeting a few friends in the city i just happen to spot this store on the way Babycakes....

unfortunately for me they are closed on mondays...i was so bummed....

but i am planning on going there sometime this week to pick up a dozen or 3 lol (ok i wish but they limit you to 2 per person :()

mmmmmm.....cupcakes...my favourite.

Chaaarming.....

i've always wanted a charm bracelet with lots and lots of charms.

so when i was browsing OZtion last night i found all these fantastic charms.

charms on OZtion

i am going to buy the bracelet first then go from there. buying a new charm that means something special to me every few weeks. lucky i hate gold and prefer silver as its much cheaper lol. my first charm i think will be a sewing machine. then probably something to do with cooking as i love baking, especially cupcakes :D

I feel old

my kids are growing up too fast.

RJ will be 3 years in a few days.

i will soon be 27 a few days after RJ turns 3. so depressing. RJ is nearly in school and i'm nearly 30.

i dont want to be old :(

A work in progress

so the cubby is built but it needs a few things to make it look pretty lol

i've taken it on as a special project.

i am in the process of painting the inside a turquoise colour and i have just finished some curtains today which i sewed a fuchsia coloured Michael Miller fabric to a turquoise vintage fabric (pictures dont show up the fabric very well, will get another photo later). i found the cutest fuchsia outdoor chairs at bunnings for $10. i havent bought it yet but i plan to soon lol. now just to find a turquoise or nice blue table.

inside dad has built a kitchen which is from an idea i saw at spotlight. i got him to put in a bench and cut out a hole to drop in a container to make a kitchen sink. i just need to find taps etc and i will be painting 4 black circles on top to make a stove. on one wall he has made a cabinet type thing with shelving that is supposed to be a pantry or fridge (havent decided what it is yet hehe).

outside i am painting parts of the railing and stairs and dad has painting one of the garage walls facing the cubby with black chalk board paint. i just need to go buy the chalk. he even put in a shelf for the chalk.

he also hung a swing he found that is like the ones you find in the park because our other swing Georgia cant really sit in. he put it on the big tree out back.

its nice to be able to do these things and the kids love it.
