My baby wipes & nappy holder

Here's what I was working on yesterday, I've already used it a couple of times, it's great to just throw in my bag when I don't need the whole nappy bag. It fits the wipes case, 3 toddler sized nappies and the pouch of dirty nappy plastic bags.

A very productive couple of days

Well firstly I have fixed my blog, I got a little stressed about it and thought I was going to have to start all over again.

Over the past couple of days I have been working on a pattern for a baby wipes holder and am very happy with how it turned out, I hate rummaging around for nappies and wipes and now have a cute little holder that fits it all in.

I've also cut out a few bags that have been ordered and now just have to get the time to sew them. Tomorrow I have to make a Monster Truck cake for my nephews birthday party.

I promise photos will follow!

Today is the start of my new pact

To sew something every single day, or at least cut something out ready to sew for the next day.

I've had some orders come through for bags to be ready by Christmas, plus I would really love to get stock together so I can go to the local Friday night markets that will start up really soon.

Somehow I never seem to get the time to blog what I have made, I'm not sure how other crafters do it?

ahhh I will endeavour to be better.

Colouring folder

I saw a photo of one of these years ago in a catalogue and thought once again, "I can make that" well I finally got around to doing it, Zoe has claimed it for herself and of course, Jack wants one too. It didn't take all that long to make and I'm thinking I might do a tutorial on here showing how to make one for yourself, the kids will love it!

Beautiful Bag

Pretty in yellow

Yet another dress for Zoe, I'm not using a pattern for these dresses, I saw one in a shop and thought, hey I can make that, so I did! It's pretty easy, well after a bit of fiddling about, but I got there in the end. Zoe chose this fabric herself from the $2 bin at Spotlight, I'm quite shocked she picked yellow, it doesn't have any pink on it!

2 cute dresses

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 :)
