And ......... THIS is what scares the pants of me at the moment, packing our lives into these!
Why do I look so excited?
a) Because I just LOVE moving house? (look at those boxes and all that clutter that has invaded my sewing space!!) so many more boxes to fill!
b) I am so patriotic, that Australia Day has me singing 'God Save the Queen' all day?
c) Kevin Rudd wants to say 'sorry' to The Stolen Generation?
or............
d) I am about to pick up my FIRST ever car?
...............
This is the best we could come up with! It will do for the next year or so .... will definitely have to put some beautiful vintage curtains up - the collection will come in handy after all! 
'My' Oppy tends to throw things at me in batches, which is just fine when you're an avid collector, like I am, else it's just OCD! Either way, I'm not going to let these sit in a basket forever when they can come to my place, and be worn about the house, with gay abandon (whilst I wash my hands a thousand times!)
Christmas all done and dusted, New Year seen in and Little P has a new found respect for the man in red, he delivered: A talking Lola doll, squeeze her hands and she ooozes cuteness - not really hand made, but bought in a small shop, and not made in a sweat shop - so I bent the rules there. The hand made Christmas was great, it all seemed a bit more heart felt some how. Should be easier next year with more preparation. Oh and I got a Merrameko bag and a "poketo" T shirt from Robio
A new year, a new routine, Little P is going to pre-school 3 days a week this year, so I want (no need) to make her some little dresses that cover her shoulders, but still look Summery, here is the sample, this one is just made with a cotton print that was on spesh at Spotlight, no point getting paint all over the ritzy stuff! Think I'll make the V at the front slightly longer and maybe do some contrasting tiers for the others. I'll have a little bit of extra time for making stuff this year, in theory that's how it goes in my head any way! Will see .....
