Christmas.... Eeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!

So one of my most favourite times of year is coming up very fast. Normally by now I would be quiet far into buying and wrapping our Christmas gifts. I usually spend all year shopping for the perfect gift for everyone and try to pick it up when its on sale or I just find that item that has to come home with me.

But this year with my decision to make as many gifts as possible I am afraid I have procrastinated a little and instead of the usual 15 odd gifts that I would have by now I have 1. Just 1 lonely little gift sitting at the top of our wardrobe.

So today when i realised there was only 72 days till Christmas I got working on ideas and managed to fill in my Christmas gift list of 37 people with items that I would be making them. Although my stress levels regarding Christmas have decrease I now realise that on top of sewing things for the Brunswick show I have to start making Christmas gifts asap if I am going to get them all finished. On the plus side its only

72 days till Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the world

Very early this morning I received the call we had been waiting for. One of my best friends had had her baby during the night.

Welcome to the world Fianna Dianne

As your ‘Aunty’ I promise to love you like my own, gang up on the boys with you, spoil you endlessly with girly things, be the one you talk to when you can’t talk to your Mum, the one you run to when you think your parents are horrible, help you heal your broken heart and celebrate your joys.

I know that your big brother Myles loves and adores you already and your ‘brothers to another mother’ Michael and Zachary love you as well and can’t wait to spoil you.

Things I am loving

Linking up with Kristy from Paisley Jade who says

“I wholeheartedly believe that no matter what is happening in your life, there is always something that you can be thankful for... no matter how simple it is.”

I am loving these beautiful spring days that allow us to walk down to the park and enjoy the sunshine, fresh air as well as being incredibly snap happy with my camera

For some reason Zippers

have always given me the heeby geebys when it comes to sewing with them.

I have no idea why but I have always avoided them.

Today I sucked it up and sewed myself a skirt with a

My creative space

I have been very busy sewing lots of goodies for Two Princes creating new items and building up stock for the Brunswick show as I have been invited to put some items out on a friends stall.
