Super soft cotton.

Bark cloth.

Denim.

Two-fer

Bought this brand new women's skirt from the oppy ($6.00).

And refashioned it into 2 girl's skirts for little P.

(Note: top picture is the original skirt, this photo above

is the refashioned skirt). Not much work involved in this one.

Just a matter of removing the waist band,

sewing in the casing, and then adding the elastic to fit.

This one is made from the cotton lining, with spotlight cotton print and vintage binding. have a head cold, and thought I might as well do something productive, head cold seems to have precluded me from doing the dishes, but not from sewing, weird huh?

Mother Nature ....

She's a cruel mistress, for sure.

My thoughts at the moment are with

the Qld flood victims.

The force and velocity with which floods hit in some

communities is just unfathomable.

To loose a loved one in such a way seems so cruel

and unfair, I've no idea, and as I tuck my little P into bed

tonight, I'll give her an extra big cuddle.

To anyone reading this who has been hit by

the floods, know that we here in Sydney are thinking of you.

A little stop at the oppy

'Scuse the sticky tape, haven't cleaned this yet.

It's German (Azberg) and fully hallmarked and numbered, love the lime green lid.

And this.

Australian Studio Pottery.

Words fail .... $4.00!

I can't express how much I love this.

Another one bites the dust!

He came, he drank his Scotch, ate his cupcake

and left presents - how does he manage it?

Little P hopes every year that he doesn't get

pulled over and breathalysed, but I just tell her that

with Rudolf at the helm, he 's okay to drive the sleigh!

Hope you had a good time, spent with

the one's you love the most!

Making stuff and the like

A very rewarding little project, with stamps gifted to Little P and a roll of

plain paper, you can make as little or as much as you need.

Hand made wrapping paper has such a great feel and look.

Chrimbo looking like a low key event this year

plan on doing some serious eating .... drinking,

(champagne cocktails for me!) and lolling about.

Let's hope yours is a good one.

Remember rule Number 3. Don't panic!

Op Shop Luck!

The Goddess of Tapestry must have been smiling on me today!

I popped into my local oppy, looking for vintage Christmas bling,

and saw this gorgeous tapestry, looks like early 70's, beautiful work-girl-ship!

Now living in my colourful, but somewhat messy home.
