Makin night, bunting

Friday night... date night. Just me and my sewing machine.

There was itching going on all day.
Every time i walked past my fabric stash i found something i wanted to use.
Knowing something was going to be made i got all my chores done before the kids hopped into bed.

I have been wanting to make bunting since the littlest's ones 1st birthday party.
I bought the material before hand wanting to get it done in time but there was no time.
I have to declare that i LOVE my rotary cutter. It was the first time using it. It was all too easy.

A little cheesecake break makes making all the better.
It took me around 4 hours but i managed to finish it all before going to bed.

I am very pleased with the end result. I ran out of bias tape so i still have 8 flags left to hang


And now for my next trick..... making a cot quilt from the scraps

Baking Bread With Ellie

A tedious task of the daily making of bread is brightened by Ellie "beating up" the dough

Look what I can do...

After years of "push me mumma!"
Look what i can finally do...

Look what I can do...

A gift of cumquats to make into cumquat jelly.

Finally arrived pre ordered books, already peeking at the pages

waiting till all the babes are in bed tonight though.

"Mumma... come play with me... I don't know how to play well with these treasures..."

"Do as I do Ellie, one piece at a time""Oh that's so easy! Do what i do mumma, its ok, just one piece at a time."
