Progress on the bathers

This is what i have done on cita's bathers so far. I have decided to make the lot so she can pick and choice what she wants to wear, to her liking ......... On another note my birthday is coming up and my handsome husband won't be here. He is going a adventure with his dad. I don't mind really. I want him to spend some time with his dad, i will just miss him lots, we have never spent three weeks apart. Not sure what i am going to do with myself. Three weeks with kids on my own, i am going to either going to run into his arms or loath him, throw three kids at him, grab the car keys and run. Love you baby xoxoxox

What I will be sewing this week.

This what i will be working on this week. I will be making view C. This is for a friend, her daughter is doing a Jazz Solo competition.

How i spent my weekend

This was the moon last night at about nine o'clock (Saturday the 26Th of June) It was a particle eclipse.

When i was not stargazing I spent the rest of my weekend knitting, and i made this VEST for my youngest daughter Stacey. It looks really orange in this photo but trust my it's Chocolate brown, pink and purple.

Getting Cold in South Australia

It's getting so cold in South Australia, That i have decided to make the family coats and when it comes to mine i want a what I call a "STATEMENT COAT"!! So this is what i have decided to make but i don't think mine will be in red, i have rosy cheeks as it is so putting some red against my face makes it look worse. I was thinking a emerald green, to bring out the green in my eyes.

So this is my new project for me...... yes me!

• It has the sleeves of .E
• The bodice front and back of C.
• It has added length so it sits at my knees.
• oh and it is made with purple satin.

So Summer is coming and cause both my girls insist on having growth spurts during winter, i need to make them some new summer gear. So to start with i have chosen these patterns and cause Spotlight had a two dollar table, i stocked up on summer cottons

Wonder when i will find my pot of gold

Been a busy girl since my kids both dance and we have a concert in November i have been sewing Irish costumes. The green shirt belongs to my son. I will have a black vest over it with a Celtic design and a pair of black pants. A lot of work and that's only for one dance. I also made a dress for my daughter. Its fully line and hand painted Celtic designs. So all up Matthew is in four dances, Nikita is in 8 and my youngest is in 3. So all sewing for me is being put aside for the moment. Hopping to sew the sleeves in today and put the buttons on tomorrow while sitting at dancing.
