Baby Sewing

Boy do I just love playing dress ups with my little girl. Baby clothes are so quick and easy to sew.

I had seen a tutorial on Craftiness is not optional so decided to try it out, here was my first little dress.

 I realised it was a snug fit for my chunky monkey so make another one in the size up and just happened to have the same fabric as CINO

I love it so much, that I have used this pattern to make her dress for her baptism. Photos on that soon

Our Garden

So whilst I was busy cooking our little one there was not much of anything happening, no gardening, not much sewing and not much cooking.

So our veggie garden that I had worked very hard on when we moved in started to look like this

Weeds and nasturtium everywhere!!!

Now after a bit of hard work half of it has started looking like this

Pumpkins

Zuchinni & Squash with some parsley & spring onions about to go to seed

The tomato garden - a mixture of all type grown from seed

This tree was already here when we moved in and we are not exactly sure what fruit it is if anyone know please let me know... stone fruit???

A new garden bed

and more work still to do

Our new addition

Happy Monday

What a great weekend, shame it had to finish so soon.

My weekend was spent packing our new wardrobe - man I have a lot of clothes
Sewing curtains and making our little house normal...

Here is my version of normal

Picked from my very own garden :)

Hopefully some before and after shots to come later in the week

Crafting Mo-jo

Now we are in the house I can finally unpack all my craft things.... I have found lots of UFP's.. oh dear.
I will TRY not to start another project until I finish a few of these unfinished ones.
But first on the agenda is curtains for the house... for some privacy and to keep the house a bit warmer on these cold autum nights.
My new machine is getting a work out!!

Moved in

We have finally moved in to our HOUSE!! we are so exhausted, every weekend every night doing something on the house to get it to a liveable state. These are some very bad photos but they give you the general idea

Please excuse the mess this is moved in day 2, still unpacking and finding places for things.
