playing today with...

my creative place today included preparing my vintage sheet fat quarters for an upcoming swap- [see link on side bar for details].

also have been making more skirts, playing with my apron designs- trying to convert a "design" in my head into a physical......will let you know how that works out later :)

Also have joined the Global Corporate Challenge through work so making sure I get my 10,000 steps per day done and dusted...

What have you all been doing?

just about done- woohoo!!

Following on from the weekend I was very keen to get home from work last night - but just a little tired so I got busy this morning and I am very proud of myself as I have almost completed sorting my fabric small pieces for my new shelves- and I even put the 3rd one together myself - went together very quickly I must say.

now on with the sewing- I have quite a few new things I am working on and thinking about making over the next bit of time for markets coming up- see how it all works out...

what have you all been doing today?

Oh I must add- I JUST LOVE school holidays- get a little sleep in and get to just be home buddies for a few days!! ahhhh.

on a cold weekend

It has been a cold weekend here in tassie- a good weekend for indoors though!!

We had soccer for Indy on Saturday and her team played so well.

Oskar's footy opponents forfeited due to players going on holidays.

The kids are now on school holidays for 3 weeks- I have to work on and off for most of it but am really looking forward to a couple of short breaks through out the 3 weeks!!

This weekend I started to re-arrange my new down stairs studio/workshop/- sewing room- the other names are just too fancy-  to me and the kids its just the sewing room!!

I have sorted through about 1/3 of my fabrics and have found I needed to purchase some more shelves to put the colour coded stacks on- now just need hubby to put them together for me!! :)

I started and completed about 7 of a new winter range of skirts for silver nutmeg's little lady range ready for upcoming markets.

Cooked- well watched cooking then ate an awesome roast dinner- even had my eldest home for that one.

Now back to work tomorrow - a busy week ahead- wish me luck,

a few more pics....and a sneak peak

enjoy the week everyone- xx

today I did this and thought about this...

I tried some crochet flower's from a pattern in my head- hmm think I may need to get a "real" pattern or a "real" teacher- rosie?

My skittles are all placed separately around the house one day when I have a spare 5 I need to do some rearranging around here- today i am cleaning - so another day perhaps- will put up pics if I find those evasive 5 minutes.

Just a reminder of how lucky I am- my husband cooked us all Crème Brulee
 again- yum!
