Red and Purple

I made this reversible, wrap skirt for Little P's Gym Teacher's wee girl. My way of saying 'thanks! She runs a great out-of-school Gymnastics Camp, and Parker had a great time there today, She's the sweetest girl around for doing this in the school hols, all the kids just love her to bits, and I'd be pulling my hair out today if it weren't for Gym Camp!!

10 Years Ago....

Inspired by this bit of vanity floating around in blogland, I thought I'd share with you where I was 10 years ago. I was working and living at the Iron Duke Hotel, in Alexandria, Sydney. It was also where I met Big D, he owned the pub at the time and had just turned it into a live venue. We had bands on 5 nights a week and a bistro that operated through the day. I'll always remember the first time I met Big D, I was living with a girl who was the sister of one of his friends, she'd mentioned to me that her brother's friend had just bought the Iron Duke and was looking for staff. So I went in to see him, and from the moment I shook his hand, I knew I liked him. He gave me a job, and then 2 years later a wedding ring - how sweet!! Some of the bands playing the week this photo was taken: 78 Saab Scum of the Earth Skulker Jonestown So.... what were you doing 10 years ago?

The Wrap Dress

We're going to a Christening in a couple of weeks, so I'm making this wrap dress, the one with puffed sleeves and contrasting collar. The fabric hasn't really photographed very well, it's a vintage silk, has a gorgeous drape to it. If it all goes to plan I'll take some pics on the day, oh what the heck, if I cock it up, I'll take pics too, just for a laugh.

Flashback Friday - The Roadtrip

This photo really makes me laugh! It was taken on one of our road trips in Africa, and my brother and I quite obviously are busting to go to the loo - but Mum has decided she'd get a quick photo on first! Hilarious, I've got my hand fair up my skirt and my brother is actually holding the end of his willy, and our faces are all distorted, I mean, who can smile when they really just need to pee this bad?! Thanks Angela for bringing back Flashback Friday!
