I love it when I make something I am really, really pleased with

and I am really pleased with this! I so wish that I had another size 2 t-shirt (and a few spare hours) so that I could make one for Rohan. He is going to love it and alas it is not going to fit him. Hopefully someone else will see fit to buy it and let there little man wear it with pride because I would hate to see it sit on the shelf here.

On a sadder note, school starts back this week and my sewing time is going to be cut dramatically. I hope to get some items made of a Friday and on the weekends but I fear there is not going to be production like there has been in the last month. If regular readers of the blog are after particular items please feel free to email me and I will try to look after you.

Kiddy's t-shirts!

After getting a custom roll finished I set about doing something I have wanted to do for a while now. I showed you Rohan's bus t-shirt a while back, well I have done more for him and some for the store!

Here is Rohan in his gorgeous car t-shirt! I liked this one so much that I made another nearly (but not quite) the same as well as another bus (again nearly the same as Rohan's but not quite) and a hot air balloon for something a little less "blokey".

My new sewing area!

Neat huh?

The perils of modern technology.

Ah the wonders of the modern age. On the one hand I am sitting on my bedroom floor typing, away from the noise and drama of the house because I finally installed a wireless network in the house. Now that rocks! Internet wherever I want it.

On the other hand, I have finished a knitting bag that I am VERY pleased with and I so want to show everyone and the batteries on the camera have gone flat and do you think I can find the other set? Anyway, once the batteries have charged sufficiently there will be a shiny new knitting bag to be seen here and on Ozebaby and I also have photos of my new sewing area (woooooo hooooo).

A little hint about the bag.....here

Gotta love the rain!

Not only did it ensure that cricket was cancelled today but it is damn good just because! Seeing as cricket was cancelled we decided that we might head to Ikea in Richmond to have a look about. The kids love it, the food is cheap at the cafe and we always seem to find a thing of two we "need".

I had intended to spend the day sewing (a knitting bag for anyone who's interested) but "oh well". I am so glad I didn't though because I found the best fabric to line the bag I was intending to make. I predict it will be absolutely schmick!

I also bought this desk to put in the study as a sewing table. Oh the luxury......an ACTUAL sewing table! I feel so decadent.

Ready for school (I think)

I finished Duncan's art smock this morning so apart from a little shopping I think he is all ready to start school! Isn't he a cutie?

I had no great plans to make any of these to sell, but if anyone wants one please feel free to contact me and we will see what we can do.

Duncan insists on both pictures of him being up!

My first attempt at a knitting bag.

And I am fairly happy with it. I think that it has just the right amount of storage areas and the matching zippered pouch works well. I realise now that I need to use much stiffer interfacing in future versions as this one doesn't stand up well enough on it's own for my liking. Having said that, it stands up pretty well when full of stuff. Anyway here it is.....


If you like it , it is available in store at a special price with the option of a matching needle roll.
