sunshine and lollypops

i think today feels like a sewing day, not to sure what to make but something will jump at me when i walk into my spare room for sure.

sewing.

Some paid sewing work came my way yesterday. The lovely lady next door has gotten me to her hemming and has asked me to transform a dress that is to big for her daughter into a long peasant style skirt. Pants have been hemmed just need to transfor the dress into a skirt. Happy sewing. :-)

utensils

Steve as complaining about not having a utensil holder in the kitchen so i found a old Milo tin and used double sided sticky tape and come retro red and white fat quarter i had and wola a awesome utensil holder.

surprise.

what a great surprise to find a large post bag from my mum on our front porch when i got back from doing a op shop stalk yesterday. when i opened it i found inside a set of silicone kitchen utensils and two very retro aprons that were my grandmothers how cool to have a bit of her with me in Queensland.

When my uncle was doing some cleaning at my grandpas place he came across a letter that's over 10 years old because it was written by me when i was in primary school. written on old yellow lined paper in grey led, man it was very funny as i was asking about all the pet cows and sheep we kept as kids.

...........

but wait there's more, i appliqued a singlet and added some ruffles to the sleeves.

.....

my next creation was a crown for a special little someone who made me a promise which was tp clean up the play room before some very special visitors arrived from overseas. fingers crossed she kept her promise other wise Auntie Stepfie has a way cool crown to wear while she is doning her house works.
