A Girl Bag

Well I am rather impressed with myself, I made the bag from Little Girl Pearl's blog. It was so much fun and it looks great (I think). I also managed to give my sewing machine a service so now it is working a treat. Did I say it's reversible? Cause it is!

Busy Bee

I had a great day yesterday and some other things that were done are Amelia's Santas Ute for school. I didnt help with this project, Dave did and it looks pretty good .

Tonight's dinner - shepherds pie with sweet potato mash on top.

My fabulous shorts I made!

And the last of the nine skirts. She (thankfully) decided on the easy peasy pattern.

Things are coming along

Yeah, very nicely too. I have had a busy weekend which is productive and helpful weight wise. It's been great that the Ashes are on so there is something to watch all day. I love test cricket!

I made this a while ago. But last week an old man came in and was saying how his wife and his mother both had always done their washing on Mondays.

See I have been busy!!!

Something for Amelia's Wardrobe

Basically I have spent the day sewing. And here are the fruits of my labour.

This and the one below are two of the materials Bronwyn got me in Brisbane.

I like this one - a little Minnie Mouse!

This one was a rather hard, well the white trim was hard to sew!

What Has Been Happening?

I have been doing a lot of bits and pieces lately and have been too lazy to update the blog! Since I last posted I have had Mum, Dad and Meg up for a visit and picked my first carrot too! Here are the pics.... My first carrot! I'm impressed that it looks so carroty!

Carrots and red onions

Got to dry the onions for a week before storing
Sweet peas
My Potatoes have just started flowering so I am busy hilling - again.
