Quilt

Well i have sewed YAY again been ages and boy am i in pain from it but it is worth it i think it turned out pretty good.


My first ever quilt (just dont look closely lol) First pic is the whole thing the second is a close up and third is with a bit of the backing showing

I even put his name in the plain yellow squares and broke my machine at the same time lol

More sewing

Well i know im supposed to be on bed rest and i admit i did the little one by hand sewing but i had to use the machine to do eldest daughters.

Believe me now when i say i wont be sitting at the machine

i could hardly move when i finished so am now on my bed resting while i update the blog and things.

The little one is out of polar fleece and i stitched up the side so it was inclosed but it gaped around her head so added a scrap bit and made it into a scarf i think it turned out cool. So did one for the biggest child but as i said i did have to use the machine as it was wool so it needed proper edging on it so it didnt fray.

My 5 year old has now picked out her material so i am going to handsew that tonight for her when im hopefully not in so much pain.

Tha nappy bag

Here is the nappy bag the gorgeous CASS made for me since i am on bed rest and she knew i had plans of making one.

Its gorgeous i love it

thank you again

PJ's and Nightie

Finally got around to adding the jamm

ies i made a couple of weeks ago.

More sewing

Oh well not as much as i thought as my camera decided to stop talking to the computer half way through.

But here is some jammies i made for the baby

i actually made 2 pairs of the pants to the one top as you know what babies can do to pants LOL.

The next i wasnt going to post but someone asked me to once before so here are my home made pads. I have 7 new ones for after we get home from hospital these ones are topped with bamboo velour i had left over from making wipes.

Dont faint ive been sewing

Well i finally got some sewing done for the baby today. Will have to do a couple of posts as i

t would take to long to put all the pictures in one post. So here goes.

The first is a sleeping bag suit not sure if its boyish enough or not. With the left over material from that i made him some trackie pants with feet and then some flannel pants.

DD's first sewing

Well this is DD's first ever sewing attempt i think she did great. It was a peice of material i had in the drawer so she picked it out and i helped her cut it out and she sewed it all up herself.

Only a couple of MUMMMMMM's were heard LOL.

Im here

Ok well i finally got back into blogger so thought id make it memorable :lol: and post but am waiting for batteries to charge so i can post pics of sewing.

So im back and should be updating this tonight

More party stuff

Well this is the cake i ended up cheating after a shocking couple of weeks and a really bad day before the party i didnt get the cake made till the morning of the party and so didnt have time to do what i wanted as it was i finally got it finsihed a half hour before everyone turned up.

The other pic is of my family all dressed nice well sort of the boys would co-operate with nice clothes and i wasnt in the mood to argue.

Party dresses

Well i finally got the dresses made and decided to do a different style for the three of them and i like how they turned out. Miss T and Miss C loved trying them on as i went but Miss grumpy R hated it she hates clothes at the moment so trying to fit stuff is so much fun.

Long time but im back

Well i finally got back into blogger yay. So i will start with pics of the party. This is the unicorn ridey things we did. The girls had fun decorating them then they had racers with them.

My tiny sewing LOL

DD13 had an assignment for ballet so she wanted to do something different so while she got all the written work done mummy got sucked into making tiny outfits and daddy made a stage. So i made a doll sized tutu a romantic ballet dress and a males pants and top with sash and tie.

Still waiting on results will let you know how I (lol) went when she gets marked.

Dress up swap thank you so much Natalie

Woke up this morning to a parcel at my door. Thank you so much Natalie the girls love them so much, they havent taken them off since they opened it . They look so cute and Charlie has run around all morning loving her turtle outfit. T wont let me take hers off at all and Rona is still in her top and wings the skirt went LOL.

Again thank you they are great.

Op shop finds

Went into a op shop friday morning and picked up this material for $5 was stoked i normally miss out on any finds in the op shops .

spotlight bargain

Called into spotlight on Friday afternoon to grab a few things and they had a whole table of material for $2 a metre i could have gone mad if money hadnt been a problem LOL. I got the brown tie dye chiffon and the brown cotton drill and the gorgeous brown floral cord with sequins. Hubby picked out the love hippy material and the strippy material i got to make DD's some light weight jackets. As well as more jammie material and 4 rolls of trim marked down to $1.50 a roll.

baby Leo

This is Karinas baby i couldnt get it into photobucket so thought id put it here for you to see.

T's overalls

Here is T's overalls well do them different next time.

They are straight at the bottom she just isnt standing straight LOL.

Pants and overalls

Well it got cold here yesterday so i thought id make some of the cord up that i have had just sitting around. Helen should recognise the pants material LOL. I trimmed it with a plain purple cord i got of ebay i like them now i just have to get some purple to make a top to go with it. Im not real keen on how T's overalls turned out i had heaps of trouble getting them all together last night but they are ok. They have pockets on the back trimmed with the same material that Ronas are made out of. Rona's overalls im pretty proud of they too were fiddly but i think they turned out pretty good and they look cute on LOL. T's overalls are in a diff post cause blogger wouldnt let me load 3 pics.
