Working week

This week I have had the challenge to create a unisex newborn gift.
Here are 2 complete coordinating sets I have come up with.

1. 0000 onesie, booties and bib yellow fabric with stars
2. 0000 onesie, 0000 pants, bib, booties complete with gift bag. I adore this fabric.

I have enjoyed creating these, some thoughts for my quiet etsy store.

This is...How we spend our weekends

MMMM Our weekends are never the same, lately my weekend has been rather indulgent with lazy sleep in's while Bruce gets the kids up and fed. Sometimes a little shopping trip alone or with Bronte. maybe a trip to a market, occasionally into the city or a trip to Sydney Olympic Park

This weekend there was little sleeping in Saturday morning was spent visiting Parramatta's brand new Farmer's Markets - a new local hit with some stalls selling out by 10:30am, The girls enjoyed a play in the park and I had a very yummy bacon and organic egg roll.
In the afternoon Bruce had the girls while I rushed off to Spotlight to make RED AND WHITE scarves and hats for the Swans Game Bruce was taking Bronte to - on return Bronte commented "Mummy your scarf was so beautiful that someone stole it"

Sunday was Little Athletics registration which will now fill Saturday mornings and Bronte was off to her friends for a play before tutoring.

Next week I am excited to be heading off to the Stitches and Craft Show ( just a hop around the corner) - all I need to do is decide on whether to go 1 or 2 days and which day to go, Bronte enjoys crafts shows so will be by my side for a day.

Thank you to The Bird Bath for selecting this weeks theme, to see how other's like to spend their weekends go to three buttons for their links.

I think I lost my Mojo!

And I am thinking the GYM has it hidden somewhere???? HUMPH!

I signed up for a 1 year membership yesterday so I am hoping it will not be hidden for another year.

I have managed to do some sewing and creative work and here is my weekend WIP a Birthday Doll Quilt for my soon to be little 3 year old - where has the time gone?

This quilt was reproduced after creating the quilt in this post for my niece's 3rd Birthday.

The colours were inspired by the vintage sheet used in the pieced backing, each centre square and binding - originally going to be used as sashing but looked too messy - The white sashing worked well and made for a great work space for some stitching - little dolls with dresses in blue, purple, green & pink to match the quilt colours - orange hair and blue eyes for my little red head.

This was...my birthday week

I have been absent from my blog for a few weeks now...sorry to any regular readers. In that time I celebrated yet another year of my life and this Birthday was great.

It started with mum coming down from Brisbane and going to see Billy Elliot at The Capitol Theatre in the city after a yummy Sushi Train dinner.

A Gold Class trip to the cinemas with mum and Bronte to see Mama Mia.

An evening out with my husband eating Pizza and watching "Children of the Silk Road"

Lastly a yummy birthday cake and some fun pressies. - I thought Bronte's weekend Birthday bash was extravagant but mine topped it.

Celebrating in the city.

The beauty about being able to sew is making unique, one off clothing at a fraction of the cost to buy them and often better quality, - I really loved how this outfit turned out and the store bought top really blends in well.
