50th Post!

Ooh! Not long til my giveaway then!

Not the reason for this post though!

This is, or rather these are:

My tutus!!

This one was made for my cousin Scarlet. Not sure about the spelling but she is turning one next weekend and Mum commissioned me to make her gift. I thought about doing a cradle again like the one I made M, here. (hey! Didn't I blog that??Here's a pic)

But that's boring cos I've already done that. (heehee) so I made this:

And then decided to make more and try to sell them at markets. SO here are two more. I think I will ask $15 for them, $18 for the longer ones that I haven't made yet. LOL

And here is Levi in one so you can see the approximate length. Though he is kinda tall. They measure about 9 inches long which is 23 cms.

Yep, he's running away. I tried to bribe him to stand still with a biscuit so I could get a shot but he ran straight for the bickie tin. *sigh* What can you do?

I think I'll make a few in these colours and some blues and greens.

Just tired

My sister borrowed my camera so I can't show you the tutus I've been making. Or my finished quilt top. (Not quite sure about it either). Hopefully will get it back soon.

I'm still laughing about that pic of mini-Brad Levi.

Really tired tonight so I'm off to bed early. Raife woke at 5!! Killer. He has a tooth coming in on the bottom that must be giving him grief. Not fun. Yes, he is only 3 months old. Levi got his early too, I think. Will have to check that on Essential Baby in my old posts.

Anyway, I was uploading new pics to Flickr for my sideshows and thought I'd say hi!

What a week!

Honestly, this week has been busy and tiring!

Brad is taking time off work to deal with his anxiety and depression and the boys have been so ratty!

Look at mini-me Levi copying Brad, we didn't even realise he was doing it for a sec, when I grabbed the camera he moved.

I received my parcel of fabric in the mail...

Gorgeous ginger blossom for Krissy's Christmas quilt and some Moda for the boys' (Don't ask what else is there cos I'm not sure!)

And my WIP from Wednesday which I totally meant to blog but ran out of time.

And last but not least I have my very first quilted block!! Ta daaaa!

On another note, expect to see some girly things coming up. My sister Krissy is going to be going to the Melbourne Markets soon to try and sell some of the vintage clothes she's been collecting and I've asked if she will take some things with her and see if they sell. I'm thinking some monkeys and tutus. Hmmm...what if I was to combine both those things????

Stay tuned!

How generous are bloggers??

I've been reading lots of blogs lately and am just astonished as to how generous some people are. Check out this giveaway as an example:

This gorgeous lady offered a $100 voucher for first prize just for leaving a comment. She may not even know the people leaving a comment !!!!

Blows my mind and inspires me.

WIP Wednesday

Here is the latest softie I am working on.

Whaddya think?

The winner!?!?!

Me?!? No! I've never won anything before, ever. Like in all seriousness, never. Not even the stupid pass the parcel game when I was a kid. So when I entered a blog competition I was sure I was just making up the numbers. But to my absolute astonishment, I won. It was a giveaway from this blog http://incywincytogs.blogspot.com/. You had to enter a comment and go in the draw to win.

So my surprise gift came today in the mail. Here are some pictures of what I received...

A brooch and some very cute buttons

AND a make your own peg doll kit!!!

What an awesome present! Thanks again!

I've also been creating some things myself.

Here is Levi's new hat (pattern courtesy of Rachel.)

And a sneak peek at a softie for a friend who is about to have a baby.
