weekend fun

 A fun weekend of sports hanging out and renovating!

Oskar  was team captain this week and led his team to a win scoring 2 goals in the first 10 minutes!

Indy's soccer team won also- they played so well against an almost all boy team.

The kitchen is starting to look very smart.

Enjoy the week ahead everyone xo

today's creative play is more just watching rather than creating :(

I have been struck down by a horrid flu and have spent this week feeling pretty ordinary in deed! I even went back to bed yesterday after the kids left with hubby for school- I cant remember the last time I slept during the day!!

Anyhow I hope everyone else is well- I have included a shot of my pile "lounge quilts" - as I have been spending  a lot of time under them of late. They are are varying sizes - to suit mamma bear, papa bear and baby bears, a few that Indy has made and with a range of internal wadding from cotton, wool & cotton blend.  They are all well used and well washed and were never made to be show pieces but to add a bit of warmth and love for the kiddies!

 

Next up is some more vintage sheets for the swap which I need to get cut up into FQ and in the mail- they wont be too far away Ange!!  And one of my vintage tea towel cushions- another fav item of mine.

And last but not least- my lovely postie delivered these great fabrics for me to get busy with- as soon as I am feeling up for it!!

For more creative play look here.

Fun stuff

My little man kicked 5 goals and 2 points at his big game on Sunday!!! And his name was in the paper again- he's so very proud!! hehe very cute.

just a random shot of my three

Zeppelin was a little too cold to come out any further on the morning this was taken.

Dancing was a blast- Indy picked up the new routine really well and is so very excited to be a part of it all again!!

Hope everyone else is doing fun stuff as well- xo

Jazz, ballet & tap

My little girl is returning to the world of dance- with her mum & dad hoping for a less "full on" environment than her previous dance school!

At first she was happy to be leaving her old school as she really did not enjoy the severely competitive atmosphere that there was- mostly between the parents!!- and neither did we so after much discussion we all decided to leave it for a while whilst she followed other areas of creativity-

Now it has become apparent though that dance & song and performance are something she truly treasures and enjoys!- such the opposite of me!! I think she gets that from her dad- who is has been said about before that he was a bit of a show pony in the boxing ring- although I didn't say that ok?!

So anyhow we have done some serious research are hopeful we have found a nice creative environment for her to continue to learn and develop at her pace and through an enjoyed process,

plus her best friend- who is just the most adorable little girl also- attends this school !!

Anyhow after much spending over the last week or so- yes 3 pairs of shoes are required and the right style of bottoms to wear, and colour coordinated top and hair done a certain way- I did say hopeful of a change?!- we are heading back into it!! Wish us all luck

todays fun

+

I have completed some more dresses which is good because I have had a few people request a couple of special order ones for their little girls..although today all I really wanted to do was well a big fat nothing!!! I had grand plans of swimming, shopping, sewing, cleaning but my true self just didn't want to play the game today- think I may just continue to give in to it and go pour the spa- perhaps have some chocolate as well? & may even just need a nice little drink as well- just so I am really relaxed ....hehe-  have a great night everyone & enjoy the weekend- is it bad that I am hoping the rain continues so the soccer grounds are too wet tomorrow??
xx

cutting, sewing, ironing, and cleaning- that has been my day

Today has been a day of  inside fun for me- after many drawings and draft sewing of some new patterns [and many trying on requests to Indy for help determining sizing] today i got to start more cutting and sewing of my continuing range of tunics and pinnies. 
 Then I remembered that Indy has a friend coming to stay tomorrow night and thought I had better do something about the bombsite I had been helping create by all of my cutting and sewing- SO I set to getting things looking a bit more respectable & although not perfect I would be pleased if my mum dropped by right about now to check it out and assume I must have my housewife skills in order- before it all gets messed up again- no touching, put that away, pick up that bit of fluff, wash your glass after using it......oh bugger I still have upstairs to do :(
have a look at this sweet ladies area for more creativeness

the school term routine starts again

and leaves the kiddies all tired out.....ahhhhhh!!

so I dragged my upstairs machine back into the lounge!!!

Will be busy with pinnies & tunic's & little peoples pants- oh and staying warm and perhaps one or two hot chocolates... hehe

what about you how will you be staying warm?
