I really do ♥ sewing and playing with pretty fabrics.






{all images from Domayne see link below}

I got a cool white Moose also- love it!!


Another item I bought from Domayne in Melbourne- I do love lots of the cool stuff this shop has!!

Today was a production line at the overlocker followed by the ironing station- next step is they sewing machine then elastic threading and hand sewing of button eye- phew..



Skirts just after having their appliques heat secured ready to be individually machine stitched


Lot of strips all ironed ready to be attached 





 Some finished products ready for the mail man!!

Over the next few days I need to complete these skirts, make more slip dresses, finish a baby quilt, complete more hair sets, make more bibs, and get ready for a double whammy market weekend!!

I ♥ melbourne and all things cute & paper related



We are back home from such a wonderful trip to Melbourne, firstly for Mathilda's market which was awesome!!

Then we had some free time to enjoy a nice family holiday and a bit of shopping!!

We did some of the touristy things for the kids, aquarium- Indy & Oskar love going here and Oskar is studying ocean creatures at school at the moment so it was great for his research on his little project on hermit crabs!!

We went up Eureka tower and out on the Edge!! Heaps of fun.
We travelled over on Spirit of Tas I and came back on Spirit of Tas II
Lots of time walking through the majestic city of Melbourne
A few visits to shopping centers and shopping towns

Spent time hanging out in the sunshine in great parks and cool little cafe's.
All in all we had a ball!!!!

Some of my items I sought out and bought:













And my Union Jack blowing in the breeze into my room where I had a quick nanna nap!!

Oh and we will be heading down to Salamanca tomorrow too so do pop by and say hello if you are out & about

Ghastly headaches and craftiness creating


The most horrid migraine hit me yesterday morning and proceeded to devour me for the whole day and night even in the induced sleep I had {thanks to medication} I dreamt about how much my head was hurting.  

So this morning when the birds started chirping and the sun shone through the bedroom windows, normally something I LOVE waking up to,  all I wanted to do was curl into a ball and stay in bed, (above), and maybe later on  look at pretty pictures, (below),  no reading of words due to inability to focus on small things.



But the littlies and the husband required  some help getting ready for school, finding the sports uniform, even though it was where it is always kept once washed and ironed under the stairs in the closet, making lunches and helping find some fruit to take for morning tea fruit break, even though it was sitting in the fridge ready to go, and the brushing and plating of little Indy's hair even though she is quite capable of making it look gorgeous all on her own, and the helping with keeping the early morning routine running smoothly rather than every one ending up treading on each others toes and being grumpy with each other which often is the result if someone, (mum), isn't there carefully guiding it all along......

So I took more medication and stayed up and started working through a pile of little person onesies and singlets that need completing before we head to Melbourne next week- next week aarrgghh!!!




There was also some button production completed- small sitting down tasks that didn't take much of a thought process worked well today!
Now just to manage this migraine away......once mine have broken through they tend to hang about for a while not at all what one wants!!!
Anyhow I am back at "work" tomorrow so please callers be kind to me and everyone else enjoy your day!!
