hehe we just call all things dresses - if they are one piece they are a dress
we are simple folk here in NZ. Dress, pants, top, jumper, jacket, jeans, shorts - that's about it - oh no you could have t-shirt, singlet, blouse... I think that's all our clothes hehe.
Tooooo hot for shorts or anything here atm she had her togs on (do you call them togs? her swimsuit
We are living in our togs atm as it's too hot for much else
, Emily has her cloth nappy (ermmm cloth Diaper hehe)
NOw, I have to ask what a singlet is??
Oh yeah, just go showin off about how hot it is!!!
Just trying to taunt us folks who are freezing our patooties off in sweaters (or is that a jumper?) and long pants! I'm even wearing my winter boots in the house. I just can't get warm today! Well, I guess we'll be able to taunt YOU come July, huh? Or, when does it get really cold there?
Hi all! Just stopping by to say hello! I have been so super busy this last week I don't even know which way is up! You would think the kids going back to school would slow things down...NO!
We celebrated Patrick's birthday Sunday. He had a Star Wars theme...this is his cake...sad huh? I was trying for light sabers...he told me which ones...Count Douku and Aniken...this was the best I could doAnd I love this kid...he gets sooo excited about EVERY gift!
This was my contribution to the Bulich Big Give...
Oh...I also wanted to share this walkerbag I made for my grandma...I got this pattern from Teresa's wonderful bookmarks.
I am trying to take on a personal project this year of making these for a few nursing homes here and back in my hometown.
Now, back to lots of stuff that needs to be done...yucky old house work!
The party looks fun! I love that picture!
I've never made a crayon rollup, so you are VERY adventerous to me!
The walkerbag looks great, I love that fabric! It's so pretty! And, how sweet of you to make them for other nursing homes!
that is what I figured. What could I used the ultra for? or is the big hge roll a waste
I don't know what you could use it for. Like Steph said, something you don't sew. Maybe a craft project? Would it work for like a photoalbum or autograph book? I tried to make an iron on patch with it for lydia once, the middle stayed on, but the edges curled. You could make patches for the kids clothes with it, and they would look good for a few washings, enough to get you through a trip anyway!
Maybe check the website for some ideas of what to do with it?
For your viewing pleasure, I present Stinky in pj form:
What a face!
And Megan's second V-day outfit. I am so mad with myself, I made the straps too long because I did it while she was at school, and it is stitched and topstitched. And the pockets look a little strange to me. And the zipper in the back is wonky. Oh well, she likes it anyway.
I love the Stinky jammies! Hmm, that sounds a little odd, doesn't it?? Megan looks adorable! Lydia often makes that face in the mornings! You know, we had the sweetest dog when we were growing up (back when I was a "dog person") named Pepe Le Pew. He was a black dog with a little white stripe down the middle of his head. He was so cute and sweet! I loved that dog. I loved all the dogs we had growing up actually, but Pepe was very special.
Ok, babbling, sorry! Hmm, I was going to say something else... OH! I remember, the face Megan is making reminds me of the face Lydia made the other morning. I had gotten her up, got he dressed and plopped her on the couch to put on her boots. It was extra dark that morning, and she got very upset at me and said, "You woke me up too late!" I thought she had confused late with early, so I said, "You mean too early?" She pointed at the clock and said, "NO! It's 8:00, THAT'S what time we go to BED!" Silly kid thought she had slept right through the day until bedtime again!
I had to explain to her that there was an 8 in the morning AND and an 8 at night! Although, I thought it was pretty good that she knew what time it was at all!
Ok, long babbling pointless post done! Unless you want to hear me complain about the digital clocks that they have in the high school instead of good oldfashioned clocks.....I tell Corey that they are all very spoiled there!
. One had Dumbo appliqued on it and the other has Goofy appliqued on it. They are really cute. The lady I ordered from has never heard of disboards so I gave her the link to come here. I hope she comes over. Anyway, I am going to attempt to make some things myself too. I am making the miss molly dress. I wanted to do it in lime green polka dots with the straps and ruffle in zebra. I couldn't find lime green polka dot fabric at Joanns or hobby lobby. So I bought some baby animal fabric for the main part of the dress and yellow pastel polka dot for the straps and ruffle. I am also going to make the carls Boutique pants and dress top in red polka dot. I know this is going to be plain because I don't have time to learn how to applique. If I am successful with the two I make and the two I order she will have four outfits made for her. We will be there for seven days and I am open to suggestions for options for three other outfits. It needs to be easy because I am running out of time.
