With so many fabrics on Poppy’s quilt that they are going to be divided up with some embroidery. Even though they are bigger than the buttons they will be a good replacement – here’s hoping. After enjoyed Caleb’s drawing embroider so much I can’t wait to do some more. The gorgeous patterns were from here and my eye is on this one too.

More creative goodness at Kirsty’s house, just follow the yummy smells.

Caleb’s coat is finished too, but he is having a Naomi so wearing photos will have to come, once fee negotiations are over.

I Remember you

 

Somehow I lost a week?! There was a dream that once finished doing markets and 8 hours less work that I would have time, umm no. After searching my brain I have found the culprit –pesky family - there have actually been conversations with Glen at night and spending more time with Poppy during the day, good places to be. There hasn’t even been time for blog commenting but I am trying not to beat myself up about it.

Better late than never giveaway winner – Miss Ellieboo! Glad it went to such a lovely lady, just let me know which pinnie you want.

The picture has no real relevance, just running in the park on the week-end. Those behind shots are always a favourite.

Take 4.5 meters of bridal tulle + overlocker gathering foot = 1  fairy outfit for new dance class.

Let them Eat Cake

Caleb – When I grow up I want to  be a cook like dad

Except I don’t want to cook vegetables.

And I want to get paid in cake.

Mum (aka. voice of reason) – But how are you going to buy things with cake.

Caleb  - Who cares; I will have cake and girls love cake.

Mum realises that I actually know nothing. (These are the delicious cookies made by his hand)

Poppy’s jacket from last week managed to get finished just in time for the cooler weather. If there is a job for jacket maker I would happily work for free, they are easily my favourite thing. This week’s wip is Caleb’s jacket who started asking for his as soon as he saw Poppy’s. I decided to add lining to the hood for a nicer finish and left off the original pockets. The toggles and wooden buttons were from the stash as was the white ric rac loops. The heart details are wool flannel appliquéd on. When she wore it to playgroup no-one thought that I had made it – is that a compliment? Total cost – approx. $16

Thanks so much for last weeks help with the buttons and don’t forget the giveaway.
