My creative space...

I had quite a skirty weekend!  A girlfriend asked me to make these four matchy match skirts for a friend of hers who has just given birth to her fourth baby girl!  Lucky thing!

 

I'm a big fan of dressing your small people in same same things on occasion!  I know many who are not!  I think while they are little you can get away with soooo much in the dressing department so do it while you can!!!

 

I must have learnt it from my mother....

In case you can't see very well, those are matching terry toweling t-shirt and short sets!  My mum changed it up a little to allow me a pink set, but still, we match!!!

 

 

 

 

I grabbed a few plain white t's for her to match them all up, for a nice clean crisp look (which should last approximately 3.5 seconds once you get a white t-shit on a small person!).

 

(here's a how to if you would like to make a pretty panel dolly skirt too!)

 

For more creative spaces, head on over to Kidspot.  There's always some lovely inspiration to be found!

52 Weeks of Grateful

This week I'm grateful for change. 
It's coming people.

 

Best said by my brother-in-law....

 



 

What are you grateful for this week?

Hysteria

I have my mum staying with us this week.  Since all my family lives in Tasmania we frequently have family houseguests - (they used to have their own room in our house but then I decided my demand for a sewing/craft/junk room far outweighed their need for hotel-like amentities).

Mum and I had a little movie date last night and watched this...

It is Hilarious!  It is a love story with a tongue firmly planted in one's cheek since it centre's around the invention of vibrators in the late 1800's.  Mum and I were snorting with laughter through most of it.  And I am now pining for some more of the very luscious Hugh Dancy.

Of course, at the end of the movie as the credits were rolling, they were showing various vibrators through the ages and The Rabbit (don't click on that link unless you really want a visual!!!) pops up on screen. My Mother lets out a cheer and at the top of her very loud voice proclaims, "Oh, that's the one I have!"

Cue my very fast exit with a scarf over my head.

Crazy Cousins and endless houseguests!

We have houseguests at the mo... our sweet girl cousins from Hobart are staying for a few days and Matilda is totes in love with them... and she is hard girl to please!

Any attempt to photograph them all together results in this...

They leave on Saturday and my in-laws arrive on Sunday... for two weeks. 

Yes.  Two weeks!!!!!!

I am also planning mass birthday and party celebrations for my middle boy who will be five next week!

Yes. Five!!!!!!!

So I'm here but not really if you know what I mean. 

Give a grown up a skipping rope at the museum and you shall end up with ridiculous photographic evidence

My niece, me, my sister.

I hope they still speak to me after this.
