Remember how I told you that I would come back here for a show and tell of what I made yesterday? Well, I forgot to take photos of the completed projects before they were whisked off to school! So sorry! I will come back on tonight and post them up (provided they come home today!).

From this ordinary looking shirt to.....
This sort of ordinary looking skirt.....EXCEPT!! It was designed by Corky!! I gave her the shirt and a piece of paper and told her to draw a skirt that she would like made. I tweeked the pattern a little and sewed it up for her.....with her at my elbow (sometimes very very near to my elbow) looking on while I did.
Didn't work out QUITE the way we planned, but she is proud of it, all the same!
And here are some blankies that I have made up for a friend who recently had a baby
They are made from squares of what I call minky-type fabric. I think it is actually a long pile polar fleece or something! Dunno (if you do, then please tell me!). They are backed with a terry cloth fabric in lime green.
I am making up another couple tonight, so I might venture into a tutorial.....just in case you are wondering how to make them!
Creative shot!! hehe

I am just sooo proud of my girl!! Moo has taken to the sewing bug well and is producing some wonderful things! Here is a photo of just some of what she has been able to do:
They are pincushions and tissue covers found from simple tutes on the net. She has actually done a whole heap more (sort of working in a congo line fashion), but these are the main colours that she has chosen from my 'little pieces' pile.
She is currently in the middle of an apron, but is unable to finish it, because she has abused her rights on the sewing machine and is grounded from it! Hmm....maybe I should do that to myself - ground myself from the puter, because I neglect the things I should be doing to sit on here! hehe.
Nothing completed by me, I am afraid! Both machines were taken up by these projects last week. Plenty cut out and ready to go, though! Must get into that list on the right, methinx!

Mother's Day
No brekky in bed for me this year! Not even a coffee....the whole house was off doing their own thing (but still at home, mind you). I was left to flounder out of bed by my little self and face the day, making my own coffee and heading downstairs in my jammies.
It took everyone at least 1/2 hour to get round to wishing me a Happy Mother's Day, so at least they gave me room to wake up!!
They then got in and made me some very lovely cards! Moo had already made me something at school, but wanted to make me something from home. Do you remember making tissue flowers at school or when you were a kid? Remember giving them to your Mum and thinking that they were just THE best flowers that you have given her? Well, that is what Moo gave me this year!! I love them!! Here's a photo:
What crafty little individuals they are!! I LOVE it when they do this sort of thing!!
