Vannah's Fairy Smock

After almost 24hrs of no internet access I decided to do some sewing to bide the time. I used a pattern found here. I made a few changes including adding button holes to the front straps so that I can feed the cross over straps into these and then securing by tying a knot. Next time I will allow extra strap length as they just weren't quite long enough for me but otherwise lovely pattern and very easy. From cutting out pattern to on Savannah took about 1.5hrs including some dash's for puppy attendance and solving disputes between the girls :) So here are some pics of Vannah modelling her smock. It is fully reversible plain pink cotton on the reverse side and a pocket on each side (attached before sewing together). I think I need to work on my pocket shape as I just quickly drew this by hand.




This is the next item I am adding to my to sew list other than the EB sewing challenge to make another Margaret Sling Bag that I am racking my brain as to the creative elements to.

OUCH!


I think that I have broken my little toe *sob sob*

In honour of full day Kindy

Tomorrow my baby girl starts her full two day Kindy program. I made her a sheet set and a bag to put them in. She is very excited to be having sleeps at Kindy tomorrow. So here are some photos of the drawstring bag. Pattern can be found here.

Kylie's Giveaway

I stubbled across this giveaway through another friend's blog. What a very generous thing to do and a great way to achieve some decluttering. I must put this on my to do list.

I am hoping to make a quilt soon for a great friend on mine's bub that is due VERY soon so best get a bit of mojo going and get organised...

Brandy's new favourite toy

Brandy is definitely showing her love for chewing today and has found a new best friend in a squeeky bone toy, and another great opportunity to take photos of her. So here they are...

Brandy also had her first splash in the pool. She lurrrrves water and started out by playing a game in her water bowl making a big mess of that so we decided it would be easier just to let her have the clam shell to have a splash in. She had an awesome time and sure will be a frequent activity from now on.
