Week O' Happy

The Queen of Happy, effervesent Pip has asked us for a week of happy, and why not. Life is full of lots of good bits.

It makes me super happy when my littlies interact on a friendship, personal level. This is slight false advertising as it doesn't happen often, but gold when it does! (Or Golf as Caleb would say, I think he means goal, but when he is excited he shouts Golf !?!)

On My Desk

So just to prove to you that I have been busy and there is a reason for my tardiness, Ta Dah (perhaps I shouldn't build it up too much) this is what is hot off my desk for the Mathilda's markets, on Sunday week. Hope you are in a comfy seat as I have gone piccy crazy today.

Here is my gaggle of pants, some old faithfuls and some new ones too.

Some more of these popular fish pants, I decided to get all artistic and take some photos in the sand - swish delish I know.

And continuing in my summer beachy theme I have boat trims with this gorgeous blue linen.

You can't beat a good pair of train pants for the fellas either, All Aboard I say.

And some airplane and rocket ship shorts to finish the boys off.And don't feel left out ladies I have this butterfly dress, bling and all. I really like how this one came out too.Hope it is all looking as good as I hope it is. Getting increasingly nervous as the days pass. More desky goodness at the ever lovely Kootoyoo. Off to do some more sewing, I am working on a new box pleat one.

Sunday Stash

I know I am late for my Sunday stash too, sorry Tamara - and not only that but I think I am cheating too. So I got this stash of buttons from my local fabric shop on the morning that it shut down for 10 cents a card and then the trainee charged me for 20 instead of 30 - Love a bargain. I got some iron on sticky stuff too, you only get the technical terms here, for $1 for whatever was left on the roll. Not so fabricy but good all the same!

This is .. A Recipe I would like to share

So I am running a bit late this week, and I haven't been my normal commenty self but I have been sewing up a storm. I hope to show the fruits of my labour later today, models willing. So as we all know, not much of a cook though for Poppy's first birthday this year it was all about the cupcake, and if you are looking for some good cuppie recipes, then this is the place you NEED to be. The raspberry mouse icing is divine, heck it is all GOOD!! You may be able to see that I attempted to make little hedgehogs and ladybirds, the great mum ideas.

A Hip Hip and Hooray to Miss Three Buttons for last weeks theme.

Week O'Nan - I have Been Slack

I LOVE this bracelet, I can just imagine Nan all dressed up to the nines, going out with her special flower bracelet to head off to the dance.

I have been a bit slack over the last few days, but since Mum has been down I have got my fabric out to sort out what collection of clothes (that makes it sound a bit more professional than I intend, I feel a bit Project Runway, but you know what I mean) Anyway there is ALOT of sewing that needs to be done before the markets WHICH IS 2 WEEKS AWAY TODAY, so there might be bit less talking but I have so totally enjoyed Blogtoberfest and the hard work that so many people have put into it! Here is a little bloomer set that I have managed to finish, don't you just love my model, but it was the best shot of the outfit.
