I FOUND IT

Yep thats right I found my sewing mojo. Maybe it is because I cleaned up and could actually see what was around me PMSL.
Have been busy making a little friend a pair of PJ's for his 2nd bday.  Will come back with a pic cause I am going to have to work out the elastic size mmmmm.

On other news I can announce that my youngest sister and the last to be married is 12 weeks pregnant.  I am so so so so happy for her when I spoke to her today after her scan I had tears in my eyes and I can totally understand her feelings.  She suffered a miscarriage last year so this is the best news I have heard in a very very long time and I hope she has the easiest pregnancy ever.  I love you my little sister, oh as I do you Jen hehe

Will be back when I have done more

Cheers

Hello

well it is a new year and a really bad start to blogging.  Have been so busy lately and trying to get this place in some kind of order mmm well that isn't really happening.
We had a great xmas and new year and camping in 40 plus degree heat.  Are we crazy LOL.  Then we come back to Sydney and the rain and the humidity, isn't it only suppose to rain in winter holis not summer holidays.  I think the kids are going nuts cause it is soooo wet here.

Well I will just show a few pics and come back to write more as I need to work out tea and clean up the kitchen arghhhhh

First of all Anthony bought us a new camera for xmas the Canon 400D and I love it. it is going to take forever to work out though but i am having fun with it.
I love this picture of my niece so have to put it on here

Xmas sewing

Well this year I decided that all gifts that we give to the niece's and nephews will be homemade, mmm well was that a great idea?  Lets just say it is keeping me busy and since I have been without a car for 3 weeks I have actually got quite a bit made and since they are all little I can show them off here LOL.

First of all I decided that Jenny's little baby needed a new romper for xmas so I just made a bought one fancy for xmas.  Oh and don't worry I am working on another one with red so they are both unisex but Jenny has a choice.  I think they have come up fantastic, even if I do say so myself


Also nearly finished X tshirt to go with his parcel of goodies, now
 to finish the cape.  These kids are going to have a ball over xmas.
Jack has drawn a pic of a trex and I have put that on X top and it looks fantastic I am so happy with how it came out.




I also have been working on some no sew tutus that I got a tutorial from the net,so easy and I have now made 4 LOL 3 for the neices
 and one for one of Jacks friends at school.
the neices little tuttus I can imagine them running around on xmas day in these


So I have a few other things on my to do list and one of the first things I have to do is my scrap SS and get that in the post arghhh oh and a present for Jens baby which is due on the 10th.  MMMM time is running out fast

oh and just cause I can here's a pic of my gorgeous Luke who lets mummy sew and sew and sew all day long LOL well almost





will leave it there and get back to the sewing

Cheers Susan

so long again

It is such a busy time of the year at the moment and everything that can go wrong is for some reason.
Buggered my ankle again! and had a truck hit me from behind and push me into a car in front, so therefore have not had a car for over two weeks now.  So you would think that the house would be clean and I would have all the sewing up to date.  LOL not even close.

Since last time I posted I have a new nephew so have made him a little something, now just to get to the Post office and post it.  Had a ball making this gorgeous little softie from http://funkyfriendsfactory.com/home.aspx  
also got the dinosaur to make for xmas presents.  Also have to get something made for my sisters new baby which will be here in about 3 weeks.  How exciting






On the sewing front I have also made a little softie for Luke to have in bed with him and he loves it.

OK well I need to leave it there for now but I will be back with a pic of the items Fiona gave me for my Bday last month and a pic of the gorgeous dress I bought yest from the op shop.

Cheers
