Some more shorties

This is the result of having a baby who doesn't sleep, I get to have him on my lap (his happiest place to be) and crochet for him. I need to lanolise them and wait for our prefold nappies to arrive and Sam can start wearing them. These ones turned out much better than the first pair I did.

A hat for Sam

A cute little cowboy hat, I just love this fabric and have since become a little bit addicted to making these hats, they are so easy! Getting the size right isn't the easiest though and this one turned out too big, oh well he will grow into it.

I'm back!

Has it been that long since I posted? Terrible!

Well to be honest I have good reason, my little baby Samuel decided to arrive 2 months early on the 15th December 08.

Since he arrived I have been in a very creative space and have lots to blog.

Here is my beautiful little man, 3 weeks after he was born, wearing a gorgeous Tin Whistle design, thanks Milly :)

A holiday at Fraser Island

We just spent 6 glorious days on beautiful Fraser Island usually we would camp but being 26 weeks pregnant it was not to be so we stayed at Kingfisher Bay Resort, was great but I've come to realise we are not a resort family and really missed camping! Nuts I know.

A new bag & a dress for Zoe

I am in the mood for sewing again, yipppeeee, bout bloody time I say, it's been months since I lost my sewing mojo, well pretty much since the morning sickness kicked in I guess. Well nowI'm back and I have heaps of projects I want to accomplish.


Here is a new bag I made for myself after a trip to spotlight where I found this fabric that I completely fell in love with.

And a dress for Zoe made in the same fabrics as the skirt I made a few months ago.

yeah yeah I'm still alive...

Just not in the mood for sewing atm.
Actually today I felt like I might get my sewing mojo back soon when I spotted a fantastic nappy bag that I could easily sew myself, am thinking that might be my next project because for those of you who don't know, I'm having baby #3! very excited, even moreso now that my morning sickness has somewhat slowed down, it is no longer all day sickness, thank god, I was not coping too well at all.

Just whipped it up

I couldn't bring myself to start the housework until I made another skirt, now it's 4.30pm and time to get dinner organised, oooppsss no housework today.

Decided to jazz this one up a bit with some lace that I have had for ages, turned out great!

Ruffled Skirts for Zoe

I come across this skirt tutorial and just had to make some for Zoe, she absolutley loves the pink one and won't take it off! It was the easiest thing to make, amazing how many things you can actually make just out of rectangles.
Oh and here is a pic of the girl herself, she was in a modelling mood the other day when I had my camera out.

It's beanie time

I made this cute beanie for Zoe last night whilst watching PS I love You...was a little hard to crochet through the tears but I got there in the end, too bad it's too small for her, will have to find a baby girl to give it too.

The colours in the photo didn't turn out quite right, what looks like red is actually hot pink.

I got the pattern from here http://craftychristina.blogspot.com/2007/11/soley-granny-squares-hat-pattern.html

I'm back!

I'm still working, but I have decided I can't live without my craft, so I am making nights free to do what I love best!

In the past 2 weeks I have made 3 bags, 2 of which were gifts for my Mum and MIL for Mothers Day and ANOTHER bag for myself, will post pics later.

And I've refound my love of crochet, I'm in the process of making a beanie for Zoe and I made myself one last week.

Andddd I have developed a softie addiction and created these two cute guys, Harold and Hilda this week, can't wait to add more to the family.
